What is Agile Development?

Agile Development is a way of managing projects, especially in software, where teams deliver work in small, frequent steps called "sprints." Instead of planning everything upfront, teams adapt to changes quickly and continuously improve their work based on feedback.

Why is it important?

It helps teams build better products faster, respond to user needs, and handle unexpected challenges. It's widely used in tech companies to create software, apps, and other digital products efficiently.

Examples & Applications
