Agile in Software Development
Agile methodology is one of the best choices for software development companies to manage projects successfully. Agile software development could solve many problems of software development and make it more agile. The term agile means moving quickly and easily and is supposed to adapt your software to the changing requirements easier. This is the key aspect of agile software development. Unlike traditional methods like the waterfall model, Agile projects can have one or more iterations and deliver the complete product at the end of the final iteration. The sequence is broken down into small releases, with each release enhancing the previous stage’s functionality. Software developers should thoroughly test every release to ascertain the top-notch quality of the end product.
The stages are as follows:
- Project Initiation/Requirements
- Design Phase
- Development and Coding
- Integration and Testing
- Implementation and Deployment
- Review/Closure
Agile was formally launched in 2001 when 17 technologists drafted the Agile Manifesto. They wrote four major principles for agile project management, those guide system developers in developing better software:
- Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
- Working software over comprehensive documentation
- Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
- Responding to change over following a plan
Many agile frameworks provide specifics on development processes and agile development practices, aligned to a software development life cycle. Each of the agile methodologies is unique in its specific approach. Common methodologies include:
- Scrum

- Dynamic Software Development Method
- Crystal Methodologies
- Feature Driven Development
- eXtreme Programming
