Agile Project Management

Agile project management means many things. Several methodologies and frameworks exist today that fall under this descriptor. Despite many well known approaches to managing agile projects, a fundamental understanding of agility itself is often overlooked or even discounted by those seeking to learn and practice the various techniques.
