Agile is a philosophy that uses organizational models based on people, collaboration and shared values. Agile uses rolling wave planning; iterative and incremental delivery; rapid and flexible response to change; and open communication between teams, stakeholders, and customers. There are many approaches to agile that adhere to these tenets, such as Scrum, Extreme Programming (XP), Lean, Kanban and Test-driven Development (TDD). Although agile principles have their roots in the software and IT industries, agile adoption is growing and expanding in a wide range of industries, including health care, marketing and manufacturing.

Agile principles and practices include:

• Early, measurable return on investment through defined, iterative delivery of product increments
• High visibility of project progress allows early identification and resolution or monitoring of problems
• Continuous involvement of the customer throughout the product development cycle
• Empowerment of the business owner to make decisions needed to meet goals
•  Adaptation to changing business needs, giving more influence over requirement changes
•  Reduced product and process waste
