What is Agile?

It is a software development process, for:

• Time bound iterative and incremental development

• Regular adaptation to changing circumstances

• Rapid and flexible response to change

• Considering working software as a measure of progress

• Continuous customer collaboration

We are directly in communication with the industry, customers and end-users. So, we want to incorporate the instant feedback, functionality add-ons, or change requests in the software, as and when we receive those.

We need a fast time-to-market approach to release software, and can’t compromise with this, as we will lose business to competitors otherwise.
