What is an agile model?
Agile models are more effective than traditional models because they are just barely good enough, they don’t have to be perfect. A paper prototype could be an agile model, a whiteboard sketch could be an agile model, a Visio diagram could be an agile model, or a physical data model (PDM) created using a CASE tool could be an agile model. The type of model, or the tool with which it was created doesn’t really matter. What is important is that the model is just good enough for the task at hand.
