Agile is a project management (What is Project Management) methodology (not a process). It was defined by a team of developers in the early 2000's at a conference with the goal of creating a better way to run digital studios. It's based on the idea that digital products require much more flexibility in the planning (Planning Projects) and executing (The Execution Phase) phases because there are so many more unknowns.

Agile is defined by four principles

  1. Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
  2. Working software over comprehensive documentation
  3. Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
  4. Responding to change over following a plan

The most common process that uses these principles is Scrum (Scrum Process).
