The understanding of the Agile development practices and quantum computer are becoming more and more a requirement as the engineering projects of the day are growing extremely complicated and dynamic. Agile methods that are familiar to facilitate an iterative cycle, cooperate and adaptability are inherently appropriate to the experimental and unpredictable world of quantum software development. Quantum computing (QC) that is grounded on the principles of superposition and entanglement is the origin of novel computational paradigms that require new programming and continuous fine-tuning. In addition to satisfying this need for brief development cycles and quick feedback loops, other Agile methods like Scrum, Kanban, and Extreme Programming (XP) also demand rigorous planning. On the other hand, quantum software engineering is faced with specific issues such as the unskilled personnel, testing issues, and hardware limitations. In that case, the Agile methodologies are salvaged and assist in the breaking down of complex and quantum tasks into manageable units and result in a continuous improvement. All in all, standardization of Agile practices and quantum computing does not just assist in the innovation, but also in reduction of the risk of development and speeding up the development of the practical quantum solutions to the current engineering projects.
