What is agile?
Agile is a philosophy that uses organizational models based on people, collaboration, and
shared values. The Agile Manifesto outlines tenets of agile philosophy. Agile uses rolling

open communication between teams, stakeholders, and customers. There are many agile
methodologies that adhere to these tenets, such as Scrum, XP, Lean and Test-driven Development (TDD).
