This guide is not meant to be the end-all-be-all to agile. Far from it. It is meant to give busy people an overview of the framework and its benefits in 15 minutes or less.
An Agile overview:
Agile is a way to manage projects. It can be used for virtually anything, but it was founded in software development. This handbook focuses on agile for software development, but many of the principles can be expanded to other fields.
Agile breaks down larger projects into small, manageable chunks called iterations. At the end of each iteration (which generally takes place over a consistent time interval), something of value is produced. The product produced during each iteration should be able to be put into the world to gain feedback from users or stakeholders.
Unlike Waterfall project management, which is strictly sequenced: you don’t start design until research is done and you don’t start development until the designs are signed off on; agile have designers, developers and businesspeople working together simultaneously.
