What Is Agile?

Agile benefits software development teams by promoting iterative development, collaboration, and adaptability to changing requirements. It enhances communication among team members, increases customer satisfaction, and enables the delivery of high-quality software in shorter development cycles.

Key principles of Agile development include customer collaboration, responding to change, delivering working software regularly, and valuing individuals and interactions over processes and tools. Agile emphasizes adaptability, flexibility, and iterative development.

An Agile sprint is a time-boxed iteration within the Agile development framework, typically lasting two to four weeks. It involves planning, executing, reviewing, and adapting development tasks to deliver a potentially shippable product increment.

Agile is a broader software development methodology that emphasizes flexibility and collaboration, while scrum is a specific Agile framework with defined roles, ceremonies, and artifacts to manage iterative development.

Agile and DevOps complement each other, with Agile focusing on iterative development and collaboration and DevOps extending this collaboration to include continuous integration, continuous delivery, and operations.
