Agile
Definition
A project management methodology for software development that prioritises iterative delivery, flexibility, and collaboration over rigid upfront planning.
Why it matters
Agile helps teams ship working software frequently and adjust based on feedback. Understanding its vocabulary (sprints, standups, backlogs) helps founders work effectively with development teams.
Example
A founder's dev team works in 2-week sprints. Each sprint delivers shippable features; she reviews them and adjusts priorities for the next sprint based on user feedback.
