KEY TAKEAWAYS
● Agile is an iterative approach to project management and software development that helps teams deliver value to their
customers faster and with fewer headaches.
● An agile team delivers work in small, but consumable, increments. Requirements, plans, and results are evaluated
continuously so teams have a natural mechanism for responding to change quickly.
● Scrum is a framework that helps teams work together. Much like a rugby team (where it gets its name) training for the big game, scrum encourages teams to learn through experiences, self-organize while working on a problem, and reflect on their wins and losses to continuously improve.

communication of capacity and full transparency of work.
● Agile isn't required for for building websites but may be more appropriate for software product development.
