​What is Agile?

​Agile methodology focuses on the continuous iteration of development, testing, and feedback in the software development lifecycle. It focuses on iterative, incremental, and evolutionary development. Agile can be implemented in many ways such as scrum, kanban, XP, etc.

​On the other hand, DevOps is a methodology that focuses on enhanced collaboration, integration and communication to enable continuous and rapid delivery. It uses automation technology to speed up processes and helps teams to focus on more complex tasks.
