- The upper case “A” Agile is an iterative approach detailed in the Agile Manifesto (initially described in 2001) to describe software development and project management with defined principles, values, methods, roles, processes and tools. Breaking down work, establishing self-organizing teams and seeking out rapid and "iterative" feedback, the expectation (and results) are that outcomes are improved.
- The lower case “a” agile is a trait of an individual, team or organization that lives and breathes the principles of agility in everything (or most of the things) he, she or it does: flexibility, soliciting feedback, speed to results, preparedness and much, much more. "Organizational agility" is part of the very cell-structure and DNA of the business. It is live and breathed, not just documented in a certification or budget.
