What’s agile?

Agile is a project management methodology that uses short development cycles called "sprints" to focus on continuous improvement when developing a product or service.

The Project Management Institute (PMI) states "Agile approaches to project management aim for early, measurable ROI through defined, iterative delivery of product increments. They feature continuous involvement of the customer throughout the product development cycle. Although agile has its roots in software and IT, agile adoption is growing and expanding in a wide range of industries." https://www.pmi.org/learning/featured-topics/agile

AGILE methodology is a practice that promotes continuous iteration of development and testing throughout the software development lifecycle of the project. Both development and testing activities are concurrent.

JAJAJAJJA, Thank you very much my friends. Here I am. First of all, I always comment about Agile because I firmly believe that the general confusion outside there jeopardizes the work for all of us and mainly the intentions of people that are trying to find a job. All I will write as follows can be checked and my only objective is that: search for the basement and the real information. Here I comes. By definition, the definition created in 1990 inside the USA DoD NSF/Agility Forum and then taking by creators of methods for software development based on Agile (I worked with some of them like Arie Van Bennekum) Agile is "a way of behave and thinking with focus on client and quality". When you use behave Agile then you gain into agility which is "the ability to respond to changes and to create changes". That is the reason because Agile is not the same of Lean, while Agile was born trying as an innovation on Lean.

Sergio, thank you for the correction, it is greatly appreciated. My apologies for posting incorrect information.

My Agile course focused on it being a "methodology" rather than a behavior or way of thinking. What I learned in the course made Agile seem rather cumbersome and not agile at all. Thank you for providing me with this information, I am now beginning to understand what Agile really is. :-)

I was waiting for Mounir or Sergio to go crazy.

I have to recognize that I opened this question looking for them too. :)
