What is Agile?

Answer
Agile is a way of managing projects especially software development by delivering work in short cycles instead of planning everything upfront and delivering at the end.
Before Agile, teams spent months planning, months building, months testing before anyone saw a working product. If the plan was wrong, everyone found out too late.
How Agile works: work is divided into short periods called sprints (usually two weeks). At the end of each sprint, the team delivers something working and gets feedback. The plan adjusts based on that feedback.
Common Agile frameworks:
- Scrum: uses sprints, daily standups, and defined roles (Scrum Master, Product Owner)
- Kanban: work visualised as cards moving through stages (To Do → In Progress → Done)
Agile is about delivering in small, tested pieces so you correct course early rather than discovering problems after months of work.
