What is Agile Development?
Agile is a project management approach that emphasizes iterative development, collaboration, and responding to change. Work happens in short cycles called sprints.
Definition
Agile development is an iterative approach to software development that emphasizes flexibility, collaboration, and customer feedback. Instead of long planning phases followed by extended development, Agile breaks work into short cycles (sprints) of 1-4 weeks. Each sprint delivers working software. Regular retrospectives help teams improve continuously. Agile values working software over comprehensive documentation and responding to change over following a fixed plan.
