What is agile project management and how does it differ from predictive?

Agile project management is an iterative, incremental approach that delivers work in short cycles called iterations or sprints, typically two to four weeks. Requirements and solutions evolve through collaboration between self-organizing cross-functional teams and stakeholders. Predictive, or waterfall, project management follows a sequential approach where each phase must be completed before the next begins and the full scope is defined upfront. Agile embraces change and delivers value incrementally, while predictive minimizes change and delivers value at the end.
