What is Agile?

A software development methodology that emphasizes iterative development, collaboration, and rapid response to change.

Agile development delivers software in small, incremental releases rather than one large launch. Core values (from the Agile Manifesto) prioritize individuals and interactions, working software, customer collaboration, and responding to change.

Common Agile frameworks include Scrum (sprints, daily standups, retrospectives), Kanban (visual workflow, WIP limits), and Extreme Programming (pair programming, TDD). Agile emphasizes continuous feedback and adaptation.
