The term, Agile, in software development refers to a group of development processes based on solving problems through collaboration across teams. It is a framework that encourages developers to work together, stay accountable, and constantly seek improvements. Using Agile is a way to compete in a world of constant demand. 

One of the main characteristics of Agile Business Analysis is the use of “lightweight” techniques. The very nature of Agile analysis which emphasizes customer collaboration, working software, individuals and interactions, and responding quickly to change implies that certain techniques fit the bill more than others do.
