Can you explain what is meant by the Agile methodology in project management and software development?

Agile is a project management and software development methodology based on flexibility, iteration, and close collaboration between the team and the customer.

Main principles of Agile:

• Development is carried out in small iterations (sprints), usually from 1 to 4 weeks.
• Regular delivery of a working product.
• Active customer involvement and quick feedback.
• Flexibility to change requirements during development.
• Self-organization and collaboration within the team.

Example: a team develops an application by breaking the work into sprints. After each sprint, the working functionality is demonstrated, the customer provides feedback, and the team adjusts plans for the next sprint.

This allows for faster response to changes and creating a product that closely meets user expectations.
