Being Agile is about being able to change direction quickly. Agile software development methods are about adaptable and responsive working methods, where:

• Change is accommodated
• Success is seen as software that works
• Open collaboration is a way of life
• Small, self managed, accountable teams are the norm
• The customer is part of the team

"The agile approach combines responsive, collaborative people with a focus on demonstrable, concrete goals (software that actually works). That’s the spirit of agility" Venkat Subramaniam and Andy Hunt - Practices of an Agile Developer (Working in the Real World)

"Agile methods are adaptive rather than predictive ......... people-oriented rather than process-oriented" Martin Fowler - The New Methodology
