agile method? (1 Viewer)

[Fluorescent]

Sam D's book gives a pretty ambiguous definition. Can someone please explain it to me in simple terms?

am still trying to get my head around how they want this taught, so any input would be appreciated especially a real world example OTHER than software development

waterfall is the tradional approach (updit) with the testing at the end
its a strict, pre-planned sequence - more project manager driven - if you cancel halfway through you have nothing of the project to show ?
agile is iterative (means repeating or repetitious) it tests through the project delivering "product" in small sections so that if the project is cancelled you have something to show ? more team driven

Thanks a tonne, that's a lot less ambiguous than the text book :]

The Agile method is a system development approach that focuses more in team building rather than the formal steps of a traditional development approach. It is largely used in software development.
