Agile software development

Agile Methodology Agile software development is a conceptual framework for software engineering that promotes development iterations throughout the life-cycle of the project. It provides opportunities to assess the direction of a project throughout the development lifecycle. Its objectives are as it focuses on customer value. It creates a flow of value to customers by “chunking” feature delivery into small increments. Software developed during one unit of time is

that was chosen for its development. Agile methodology is an emerging approach for software development while waterfall methodology is the traditional one. This paper presents the detailed and comparative study of agile and waterfall methodologies for project development. Both these methodologies have their applications in certain project development environments. The paper highlights basic principles, project development process, and planning and requirements value in agile and waterfall methodologies

adopting an Agile software application development approach is that it promotes a culture of collaboration and continuous feedback that concentrates on early delivery of superior products that meet important end user requirements. Agile software development is in use by many organizations and has been accepted not only as a method of developing software but in project management as well. This business case will outline the justification for Company “X” to move towards using the Agile development method

driven methodology, such as Waterfall, or trying a different approach like Agile. The major problem might be the way these two concepts are often presented as being mutually exclusive. This dichotomy often causes an automatic rejection of one methodology over the other, making it even more complicated to decide between one or another. This polarization misconception is what makes so difficult to successfully applying an Agile project management approach. Instead of trying to use the best of each approach

Motivation Over the last several years, agile software development processes have become increasingly popular. According to Fowler (2003), the agile software engineering processes attempt to enable more flexible and adaptive software development than the traditional software engineering processes offer. Agile practitioners consider documentation as an important aspect for their projects but there is too little internal documentation available in their projects (Stettina and Heijstek, 2011). Although

Atherton Final paper 4 Agile versus Waterfall Software Development Software development is the process of developing software through successive phases (Leau, Loo, Tham, & Tun, 2012). This software development process includes the preparation of requirements and objectives, computer programming, and testing involved in developing and maintaining software applications (Leau et al., 2012). According to Stoica, Mircea, and Ghillic-Micu (2013, p. 64), “Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)

Software development is one of the highest demands in all over the world. We use software development techniques to solve the problems and to satisfy customers. Agile software development is a conceptual framework for software; it is also a group of software development methods based on iterative development. In 2001, agile software development was created by seventeen people with a desire to find alternative approaches to software development. The most important thing about agile methods are team

Introduction Ever since the Agile Manifesto came into existence in 2001, it has led many agile software development processes to spurt up. Dynamic Systems Development Method (DSDM), Extreme Programming (XP), Feature Driven Development (FDD), SCRUM and Crystal Methodologies are some of the most famous agile software development methodology famous today (Vlaanderen et. al, 20011), (Dingsøyr et. al, 2012). In the recent research done by (Dingsøyr et. al, 2012), it’s been found that XP and scrum are

Management David Imboden, Livia Artuso, Clariss Chow, Youssef Hautier, Topic: Are Agile development / Scrum approaches applicable to other product domain than the software development? 1. Introduction The development of a new product is key for a company. The products can be very simple (a new fork in the Ikea assortment) to extremely complex (let’s think about a new airplane for Airbus), their development still requires a multidisciplinary approach, implies a lot of risks, a lot of uncertainties

Agile is a member of software development mode. Actually It is not a technique. I think not only it is a methodology, but also it is a process of development software. It will show and guide us to finish the development step by step according to the project required. However this kind of development mode is driven by human. The human will control the direction of the project. Compared to the agile, another famous software development mode called waterfall is driven
