What is Agile?

Agile is a philosophy or set of rules that uses organization models based on People, Collaboration, and Values, When applied, it produces an Empirical Process.

It's a time-boxed iterative way to deal with the software delivery that builds software incrementally from the beginning of the task, rather than attempting to conveying everything immediately from the beginning to the end.

It works by splitting features into little bits of tasks (called user-stories), organizing them, and after that, planning to deliver them in short two to four weeks cycles, called sprint.
