If you want to move into a new house, one approach is to first build the house, furnish and decorate it, and then move in it.

This is the idea behind Agile—a dynamic framework for software development. The objective of Agile is to keep delivering working software. Instead of planning every step in the project, an agile team would jump ahead to the execution and deal with problems as they appear.
