Agile process management is an iterative approach to the development of any service or product which is also repeatable. Instead of slowly working on different pieces of a service or product, then finishing and compiling everything at the end of the project, agile breaks projects down into smaller pieces.

The simplest way to think about agile in general is the same way individuals look at long to-do lists. It needs to be written down and prioritized.

• First, the team sits down and lists the features or pieces that they would like to see in the product or service. In the software development world, each item on this list is called a user story. These ‘user stories’ are the to-do list.
• Second, each item on the list is analyzed and compared to the others. The team works together to estimate how long each feature could take to develop.
• Third, the team prioritizes the list. They decide what is the most important feature to develop. This goes first and the least important goes last.
• Fourth, the team gets to work. They build, iterate, and get feedback along the way.
