1. What is Agile? What is Agile Project Management?
As per the author, “Agility has become an increasingly popular method used to develop products across multiple domains; however, it is envisioned that a clearer understanding of the term can be attained when it is compared to traditional project management concepts. Agile project management is an approach that is used to design and deliver software. To be exact, the agile approach delivers the software that has the greatest value to the customer. To be agile merely means to be quick. The definition of the word is rather easy to understand; however, quick is a comparative term used to describe the “degree of comparison between similar adjectives†(i.e., good or better).In other words, the word “quick†is appraised by comparing it to other adjectives with similar meaning with a result that has the potential to be highly subjective. The assessment of the word “quick†is relative and is based on individualized perceptions. The best way to describe “quick†as it pertains to agile project management is “quicker than traditional project management methods.†Agility refers to the capability to think and reach conclusions quicklyâ€.

4. Adapt: This phase is to revisit the achieved targets as well as the present scenario along with the performance of the team for achieving set objectives.
5. Close: This is a concluding phase where a team debrief the key learnings and celebrate the success (Highsmith, J. A., 2010, Pg. 83)
