Agile software development focuses on collaboration between self-organizing cross-functional teams, adaptive planning, early delivery of working software, and continuous improvement. Key aspects include a product backlog to prioritize features, sprints for delivery, daily stand-ups to track progress, and retrospectives for adapting. Roles include the product owner, scrum master, and development team who work together towards delivering business value and operational flexibility.
