What is the Agile Method?

The Agile Method is a flexible, iterative approach to software development. Instead of delivering everything at the end, Agile breaks the project into small parts called iterations or sprints (usually 1–4 weeks long). After each sprint, a working product is delivered, and feedback is gathered to guide the next steps.

Agile focuses on:

• Customer collaboration

• Responding to change

• Delivering working software quickly and frequently

• Teamwork and communication

Where is it used?

Agile is widely used in:

• Software development projects

• Startups and tech companies

• Product development with changing requirements

• Teams that value speed and flexibility

It’s especially useful when:

• Requirements are unclear or change often

• You need to deliver value early and often

• Close collaboration with the client is possible

Pros of the Agile Method:

• Highly flexible and adaptive to change
• Faster delivery of working features
• Customer feedback is continuous
• Improved collaboration within the team
• Better quality through regular testing
• Less risk due to frequent evaluations

Cons of the Agile Method:

• Can be chaotic without good communication
• Requires active user involvement
• Less predictability in scope and cost
• Harder to scale for very large teams
• Documentation may be minimal
