In traditional software development methodologies like Waterfall model, a project can take several months or years to complete and the customer may not get to see the end product until the completion of the project.
A non-Agile projects allocate extensive periods of time for Requirements gathering, design, development, testing and UAT, before finally deploying the project.
In contrast to this, Agile projects have Sprints or iterations which are shorter in duration (Sprints/iterations can vary from 2 weeks to 2 months) during which pre-determined features are developed and delivered.
We can say that, Agile is a time boxed, iterative approach to software delivery that builds software incrementally from the start of the project (incremental delivery), instead of trying to deliver it all at once near the end.
What is User Story?
User stories are short, simple descriptions of a feature told from the perspective of the person who desires the new capability, usually a user or customer of the system.
