Agile methods for project management involve the collection of requirements and discussing them with the customer. The discussion is not meant only for the beginning phase of a software development project. The discussion on requirements with the client lasts for the entire duration of the project concerning customer feedback.

The software development involves iteration and shipping the product at regular iterations to the client for evaluation. So, the primary focus of agile methods is on the outcome of the development process and value for the customer. Some of the notable examples of agile methodologies include Scrum, Adaptive Software Development, and the Dynamic Systems Development Method.

The advantages of agile project management are explicit from the approach followed for agile methods. So, how does agile provide an improvement over the traditional software development approaches? The answer lies in the Agile Manifesto values and principles that govern every agile methodology for project management.
