Agile is a project management approach that emphasizes flexibility and adaptability to change, collaboration and continuous improvement. It is a response to the limitations of traditional project management methods, which are often rigid and process-driven. Agile methods prioritize customer satisfaction by delivering working software or products in short, iterative cycles, rather than attempting to deliver a final product all at once. The Agile approach is based on the Agile Manifesto, which outlines four core values and 12 principles for Agile project management. Agile frameworks such as Scrum, Kanban, and Lean focus on iterative development, self-organizing teams, and continuous improvement. The Agile approach can be used for a wide range of project types, including software development, product development, marketing campaigns, and more. It requires active participation and collaboration between stakeholders, including customers, product owners, and development teams.
