Agile® Management, also known as Agile® process management, or even just Agile®, is an iterative method of managing the build and design activities of information technology, engineering in an effort to provide new product or service development in a manner that is both flexible and interactive. Agile® is often seen as a generalization of the earlier concepts and techniques of Scrum.
