BDD can help save Agile by facilitating better collaboration through conversations, concrete examples, and test-driven development. BDD practices like discovering and automating desired system behaviors through examples and tests improve communication between team members. This leads to a shared understanding and living documentation, helping teams work together more effectively. Automated tests also allow for safer refactoring and help teams stay agile by ensuring code quality is maintained.
