Defining Agile (Ejel) Methodology
📌 Agile (Ejel), derived from the definition meaning "able to move quickly and flexibly," is a project management methodology prioritizing agility in execution.
🔄 It contrasts with traditional methods like Waterfall, which involves sequential, non-iterative process execution.
💡 Agile principles are applicable not just in software development but also in conventional businesses, as demonstrated by the examples used.

Agile vs. Waterfall: The Nasi Kuning Example
🌊 In the Waterfall approach for a Nasi Kuning (yellow rice) business, activities like recipe testing, packaging design, location scouting, and equipment purchase are done sequentially, potentially taking 4 weeks before the first sale.
🚀 Using the Agile approach, the process starts immediately with a pre-order in Week 1 to test market need, followed by releasing "Version 1" (simple product via WhatsApp) in Week 2 to gather early customer feedback.
📈 Iterations continue based on feedback, leading to Version 3 (multiple sales channels like GoFood, expanded menu, better packaging) by Week 4, allowing for early revenue generation and continuous improvement.

Choosing the Right Methodology
🎯 Agile is best suited for projects where the final output is uncertain or likely to change, allowing the final product to differ significantly from the initial plan.
🛑 Waterfall is ideal for projects where the required output is clearly defined and fixed from the start, with deliverables produced only at the very end.
🤝 Both methodologies have strengths and weaknesses; sometimes, a Hybrid approach, combining elements of both, is the most effective strategy.

Key Points & Insights
➡️ Agile execution involves performing several processes in parallel, demanding solid coordination among the team members.
➡️ The core advantage of Agile is its speed and ability to incorporate real-time customer feedback for iterative product improvement.
➡️ Determine the methodology (Agile, Waterfall, or Hybrid) based on the certainty level of the project outcome before starting execution.
