agile development
Sprint-based software creation
Agile development is a software development approach emphasizing iterative progress, collaboration, and flexibility over rigid planning.
Work happens in short cycles called sprints, with frequent reassessment and adaptation.
The methodology emerged as a reaction against traditional "waterfall" development, where projects followed fixed sequential phases: We switched to agile development after too many failed launches.
