agile methodology
Sprint-based project management
Agile methodology is an approach to software development that emphasizes iterative progress, collaboration, and flexibility over rigid planning.
Work happens in short cycles called sprints, with frequent reassessment and adaptation.
The philosophy has spread beyond software to project management generally: We're using agile methodology for the product launch.
Often shortened to agile: Our team went agile last year.
