In plain English

Agile teams build and improve software in small increments, working closely with customers and each other. They use what they learn from each release to adjust priorities and ways of working. Planning continues as the team learns, and different methods can put these values into practice.

Example

A startup releases a basic reporting feature, watches customers use it, and discovers that clearer charts matter more than extra export formats. The team adjusts its next release around that feedback.
