What is an agile methodology

It is a set of principles for software development under which requirements and solutions evolve through the collaborative effort of cross-functional teams. It advocates adaptive planning, evolutionary development, early delivery, and continual improvement, and it encourages rapid and flexible response to change. The term "Agile" was coined in 2001 when the Agile Manifesto was formulated, emphasizing interactions over processes, working solutions over extensive documentation, and responding to changes over following a set plan. Agile methodologies, like Scrum and Kanban, provide specific practices and tools for teams to be agile. They emphasize regular feedback, short iterations, and adaptability. With Agile, stakeholder satisfaction is prioritized by delivering small, functional bits of software quickly and frequently, thereby allowing stakeholders to review and adjust requirements throughout the development process. This approach contrasts with traditional waterfall models, which emphasize linear phases and extensive pre-planning.

  1. Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
  2. Working software over comprehensive documentation
  3. Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
  4. Responding to change over following a plan
