What are Agile Methodologies?
Agile methodologies have gained widespread acceptance in the software community thanks the their capacity to respond to change and their focus on spending more time on building high quality software. They are opposite to the old fashioned methodologies like "The waterfall process" which involve a lot of upfront planning and design, long development cycles, followed by long testing cycles, which in most cases end up with software that no-one wants. Agile software methods are lightweight, open to change, provide frequent feedback points where the customer can really see what value they are getting and can change direction. They allow business to extract value early and to respond to the changing nature of technology and the needs of their users.
The values of Agile are expressed in the following Manifesto:
- Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
- Working software over comprehensive documentation
- Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
- Responding to change over following a plan
