What is an Agile workflow?
An Agile workflow is the step-by-step process teams follow to deliver work in short, iterative cycles known as sprints. It typically includes planning, designing, developing, testing, and reviewing tasks, with regular feedback guiding improvements. The goal of an agile workflow is to stay flexible, adapt quickly to change, and deliver value to users continuously.
What are the benefits of an Agile process?
An Agile process helps teams deliver work in smaller, manageable increments, which makes it easier to respond to feedback and adapt to change. The main benefits include faster delivery, greater flexibility, and a stronger focus on user needs. When accessibility is built into the agile workflow, the process also ensures inclusivity, reduces rework, and creates products that work well for all users.
