To many, "Agile" is as much a philosophy as it is a modern development process. The ideals of Agile are good. How can you disparage a development methodology that focuses on better collaboration, satisfied customers, and high-quality software? For anyone who has experience with Waterfall or other traditional "phase-gate" development processes, you can see why Agile has gained so much traction in such a short period of time. When used properly, Agile provides many benefits such as the ability to stay nimble and responsive to constantly-changing customer needs; the potential for faster time-to market of products, and meaningful collaboration between customers, product owners, development teams and other stakeholders within your business.
