Agile software development refers to a collection of frameworks, methodologies, values, principles, and processes that have been proven to help in the development of software. Scrum and Kanban are the most well known examples of agile frameworks. Agile promotes adaptive planning, evolutionary development and delivery, a time-boxed iterative approach, and encourages rapid and flexible response to change. A lot of the thinking that went into Agile comes from the world of Lean manufacturing and the famous Toyota Production System.

Agile can be a challenge to implement successfully within a company. Often seen as ad-hoc and chaotic, Agile requires a change in mindset of the people involved, not to mention changes in the development processes, roles, and sometimes even organization structure. An agile coach with the necessary experience in introducing Agile within many companies can help pave the way to success.
