An approach to delivering work in small increments, with regular feedback and adjustment.
Agile approaches divide work into manageable increments and use feedback to guide what happens next. A team delivers a usable result, reviews it with users or colleagues, and adjusts its priorities as it learns. The approach involves collaboration and repeated improvement rather than treating the initial specification as fixed throughout delivery. Scrum and Kanban are frameworks associated with Agile, although their ways of organizing work differ. In a job description, references to these frameworks or incremental delivery help distinguish a defined working approach from the ordinary adjective meaning adaptable.
