Agile project management is a process that breaks down complex projects into smaller, more manageable tasks. These smaller tasks are completed in short timeframes, called Sprints. This approach allows teams to make quick changes to pivot and adapt to changes in project scope, deliverables, schedule, and more.

Many different types of organizations use an Agile approach to project management, and the approach is especially useful for SaaS companies, as their projects tend to change in focus and require rapid response. Agile methodology allows for easy re-evaluation and adjustment of projects, helping teams stay organized and on track.
