This post on "Agile" continues a mini-series on misunderstood terms in technology. Previous terms were the cloud and NoSQL.
Why Agile?
We want to make software that is valuable for people cheaply and efficiently. Ideally, the process is also pleasant for the participants.
Agile development achieves that goal. Agile teams build stuff customers want. They do it faster with fewer wasted cycles. Developers have more fun and write cleaner code. They do it at a constant pace that can be sustained forever.
