What is Agile project management?
expand_less
Agile is an approach to project management that breaks down a large project into smaller, manageable time frames, called sprints. Teams can work on multiple parts of a project concurrently, which can make Agile more effective than traditional project management because resources can be used simultaneously and feedback is gathered and incorporated more frequently. In addition, Agile teams stay organized and efficient because they spend less time creating documentation or waiting for something to be completed.
