What is agile development?

Agile development is a project management approach where software is built in short cycles (typically 2-week sprints) rather than one big waterfall delivery.

Each sprint produces working software that you can review and provide feedback on. This means you see progress every two weeks, can change priorities based on what you learn, and get a working product faster. Agile reduces risk because you're never more than two weeks from seeing real results. It also prevents the classic software disaster of spending 6 months building something, only to find it doesn't meet your needs. At MooseBase, we use agile for all custom development projects.
