Reading Text

Agile is a popular methodology for software development. It helps teams work efficiently and deliver value quickly. Agile divides work into small cycles called sprints. Each sprint usually lasts one or two weeks.

Before a sprint, the team plans tasks from the backlog. The backlog contains all tasks for the project, prioritized by importance. During the sprint, developers complete tasks and attend daily stand-up meetings. In these meetings, team members report progress, highlight issues, and plan next steps.

At the end of the sprint, the team holds a retrospective. They discuss what went well, what problems appeared, and how to improve. Retrospectives help the team learn and become more efficient.

Agile focuses on teamwork, communication, and flexibility. It allows teams to adapt to changes quickly and keep the project on track. Developers like Agile because it makes work organized, predictable, and collaborative.
