Before Agile, the Waterfall methodology was the gold standard for Software Development. Developing any software product required a ton of documentation before coding even began. Business analysts prepared the requirements documentation, technical department then prepared their technical requirement documentation from it. Then coding and testing come to the floor.

Agile methodology overcomes the risk of spending a lot of time if there are any changes required. It allows teams to work directly with clients, instead of working with other teams. This provides a clear outcome with a focused goal and in an incremental way. 

From a variety of viewpoints, organizations considered Agile to be more beneficial than the waterfall process. Agile is prevalent in the manufacturing, FMCG, and car industries, in addition to the IT business.
