## What it is
AgileLite is a lightweight agile software development methodology documented as a simple text file, emphasizing short sprints and a 3-weeks-on/1-week-off cycle to prevent burnout. It is not software but a guide for teams, particularly remote and distributed ones, to run agile without heavy process overhead.

## Use cases
- adopt a lightweight agile process without books or workshops
- structure sprints for a fully remote team across time zones
- prevent developer burnout with scheduled recovery weeks
- replace daily standups with issue-tracking-based communication
- plan sprint cycles with backlog and support issue handling

## When to choose
- your team is remote or distributed and wants minimal process
- you want agile practices without expensive consultants or certifications
- burnout and death marches are problems in your current workflow

## When to avoid
- you need tooling or software to enforce your process
- your organization requires a formal certified agile framework like SAFe or Scrum
- you need detailed metrics, velocity tracking, or reporting features
