What is Agile Project Management?

Agile methods are based on the idea of iterative development, which means that teams work in short cycles, or sprints, to deliver incremental value to the customer. This approach allows teams to respond quickly to changes in the market or customer feedback, and it helps to ensure that projects are delivered on time and within budget.

There are many different agile methodologies, but some of the most popular include:
