What is Agile?
Agile is a flexible, iterative approach to project management whereby instead of taking a traditional ‘plan and do’ method of setting out your requirements at the start and deploying everything at the end, Agile constantly gathers requirements during the build process. Once each stage of the project is complete, it is deployed and the next goal is established.
Why choose Agile over a traditional approach?
As Agile involves building an environment around the possibility of change, ensuring it is both anticipated and embraced, it optimises performance regardless of the situation. However, with a traditional project management approach, if something is missed during the requirements or building phases, new requirements often become necessary, which, in a nutshell, means it’s back to the drawing board. This is why Agile is favoured by development teams.
