What Is Agile?

The Agile movement  is an  alternatives to traditional project management. Agile approaches are typically used in software development to help businesses respond to unpredictability.

In traditional approach  there is a  phase based approach
There developers first gather all of a project’s requirements, then complete all of its architecture and design, then write all of the code,  
But at the end, you would have  created  a  software that no one wants and irrelevant.

Agile development provides opportunities to assess the direction throughout the development life cycle.  . This is achieved through 

1. The repetition of abbreviated work cycles as well as the functional product they yield, agile methodology is described as “iterative” and “incremental.”  

                                  every aspect of development such as requirements, design, etc. is continually revisited and changes are done at every visit as required.   This “inspect-and-adapt” approach to development greatly reduces development costs and time to market. Because teams can develop software at the same time they’re gathering requirements"

      2.   The effective communication among the users, designers and the project managers

                                 The collaboration and visibility can provide a much richer and more rewarding  experience for teams to develop great software products.

Two Agile Software Development Methodologies

•   Scrum

• Extreme Programming (XP)

• Lean and Kanban Software Development

• Crystal

• Dynamic Systems Development Method (DSDM)

The most widely used methodologies  based on agile philosophy are XP and Scrum.They differ in particulars but share the same iterative approach.

XP(Extreme Programming)

               This concentrates on the development rather than managerial aspects of software projects. This was designed so that the organisations would be free to adopt all or part of the methodology. 

         XP development

starts with release planning phase ,followed by several iterations.When the product has enough  features to satisfy the user , the team terminates the iteration and releases the software

        

Scrum

  

              Unlike XP, Scrum methodology includes both managerial and development processes. Here the requirements are not only incomplete at the start , but also could change rapidly during the development
