Agile methods rely on iterative and adaptive development cycles, in which an application is continually produced and tested. In this course, you'll review the major principles of Agile and implement the approach and corresponding tools through a generic project. You’ll also learn how to properly support the transition from a traditional approach to an agile approach.
