For those who have not heard of Agile here is a brief introduction of gobledegook
What is agile project management?
Agile project management is an iterative approach to delivering a project throughout its life cycle.

Iterative or agile life cycles are composed of several iterations or incremental steps towards the completion of a project. Iterative approaches are frequently used in software development projects to promote velocity and adaptability since the benefit of iteration is that you can adjust as you go along rather than following a linear path. One of the aims of an agile or iterative approach is to release benefits throughout the process rather than only at the end. At the core, agile projects should exhibit central values and behaviours of trust, flexibility, empowerment and collaboration.

• Do you know iterative project management from linear? Find out what different life cycles are on our what is a life cycle resource page.
• Common myths and misconceptions around agile
• Do you know your Scrum from your Sprint? Read our handy glossary of popular agile terminology to find out what they mean in the resources section below.

Worked on a major software project once that was all agile. It passed all the milestones but didn't actually work. They had endless updates and could show lots of progress but the main function (to manage maintenance) didn't do as required. But we did did have lots of colourful flow charts.

The most important thing was that you used Agile.
