What is Agile?

In its most basic form, agile is an approach to project management that breaks a project into short phases, enabling project teams to respond rapidly to changing requirements.

It is a highly collaborative way to work on projects, with continuous communication between the project team members.

Agile is an excellent methodology for anyone who works on fast-paced projects where the end results are difficult to define.

3 Benefits of Agile Project Management

• Obstacles are overcome quickly through the ability to respond with ease and through continuous communication
• New ideas are shared to create the most efficient pathway to reaching project goals.
• Agile promotes frequent value delivery from an early stage and throughout of the project.

You can learn more about agile and its benefits by reading Professional Development’s article, “What is Agile?”.
