A release in Agile means delivering a new or improved part of the product to real users. It's the moment when ideas and work become something usable---something that creates value outside the team.

Unlike traditional approaches that wait months (or even years) to ship a full product, Agile teams release in smaller increments. These incremental releases or new versions of a Product Increment might not contain everything at once, but they allow teams to deliver value earlier and more often.

Why is that important? Because every release is a chance to learn from real feedback. What do users actually need? What works well? What should we change? With each release, the team gets smarter---and the product gets better.

Releasing early and often turns product development into a conversation with users, not a guessing game. And that's what Agile is all about: learning, adapting, and improving continuously.
