In the material, how is Agile described?

• A. A fixed set of steps for Waterfall
• B. Series of values and principles that provide guidance for project management; Project Management Philosophy (not methodology)
• C. A single programming language
• D. A type of database

Answer: (B)

Agile is described as a mindset built from a set of values and principles that guide how teams manage projects. It comes from the Agile Manifesto and emphasizes collaboration, iterative development, and responsiveness to change. It’s a philosophy, not a single prescriptive method, meaning it can be realized through different frameworks like Scrum or Kanban, but isn’t tied to one rigid process. Because of that, Agile isn’t a fixed sequence of steps, nor a programming language, nor a database. The material presents Agile as a collection of guiding values and principles that shape project management.
