Beginning of Agile Methodologies
- The Agile Manifesto (2001): It described the fundamental beliefs and concepts of Agile software development, prioritizing people and their relationships over procedures and equipment, functional software over extensive documentation, customer cooperation over contract negotiations, and adapting to change rather than sticking to a schedule. The manifesto functioned as a focal point for a fresh perspective on software development.
- Iterative and Incremental Development: Popular approaches such as Extreme Programming (XP) and Rapid Application Development (RAD) encouraged regular stakeholder feedback, iterative development cycles, and the delivery of tiny, incremental software enhancements.
- Adaptable Software Development (ASD): This approach acknowledged the inherent uncertainty in software development projects and promoted iterative, adaptable methods to handle shifting surroundings and requirements.
- Scrum: The Agile Manifesto and Scrum, another well-known Agile methodology, were released at the same time. Scrum places a strong emphasis on self-organizing teams, quick sprints for development, and frequent feedback sessions called retrospectives and sprint reviews.
- Lean Thinking: This approach promotes reducing waste, maximizing flow, and giving teams the tools they need to make process improvements constantly.
History of Agile Methodology
The agile method commenced in the past 20th century as a response to the challenges conventional software development methods faced in meeting the ever-evolving objectives and needs of its customers.
