What is Agile Project Management?

Agile Project Management Definition

Agile project management is an iterative method which involves continuously submitting work and receiving immediate feedback to adapt to changing circumstances.

The word “agility” characterises perfectly this resilient project management technique. The pace and deliverables of a project are adapted according to the results of transparent and collaborative demo meetings with clients.

Work is divided into small batches using this method. This means action can be taken at an earlier stage rather than waiting for the final product to be launched. This helps increase both customer satisfaction and efficiency.

The Agile Values

• Individuals and interactions over processes and tools

• Working software over comprehensive documentation

• Customer collaboration over contract negotiation

• Responding to change over following a plan
