We\u2019re talking about incremental improvements on the show and we\u2019re providing a quick crash course on a new way of thinking that can help you to do better work, and do it faster.   Agile is a methodology based on iterative development, where requirements and solutions evolve through collaboration between self-organizing cross-functional teams. It\u2019s time-based with short cycles (last from 1-2 weeks), it\u2019s project-focused, and it\u2019s entirely based on feedback. You start small, put something out there, get feedback, and then make improvements from there. That\u2019s the agile way!
