Can you summarize briefly what is agile management?

The idea of this question is to get a short summary, maximum 10 lines, to explain:

  • what is agile management
  • what it is used for?
  • which are the pros and cons?

From http://www.vertabase.com/blog/picking-a-project-management-methodology/

Agile process:

*Make an initial feature list *Get time estimates on each feature *Prioritize the list *Time box the development effort *Build and test as much as possible in that time *Launch *Get user feedback *Iterate

This works great for a tightly defined set of deliverables and a client who has done software before.

It is not good situations where the client requires a more turnkey solution provider. For example in a case where they are new to technology. Or, where they have a great idea, an understanding of their target users and the enthusiasm to stick with the project but are looking to you to provide consulting and execution.

I wrote a very controversial article on Agile Project Management at http://www.expiriance.com/blogs/pm/2009/09/agile-project-management.php.

Controversial because it is a departure from the well known methodologies of PMBOK, PRINCE, etc. and not everyone is ready to adopt an agile method.
