Agile development is an iterative approach to software development that emphasizes flexibility, collaboration, and customer feedback. Unlike traditional waterfall methods that plan everything upfront, agile breaks projects into small, manageable increments called sprints (typically 1-4 weeks). Each sprint delivers working software that can be tested and reviewed by stakeholders. Agile methodologies like Scrum and Kanban prioritize responding to change over following a rigid plan, allowing teams to adapt quickly to new requirements and feedback.
