What is Agile?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Agile methodology is an increasingly popular and effective way for different types of development companies to create, test, and present their products — especially software — to the public market. It is a practice that involves continuously developing and testing a software\/product throughout its whole development lifecycle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A unique aspect of the Agile approach is that the development and testing activities remain simultaneous; this often renders it more powerful in today\u2019s world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Business 2 community<\/a> says, \u201cIf you want to get somewhere fast, you have to be Agile! That\u2019s the core value of Agile product development methodology.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Agile approach is well known as one of the simplest, most effective processes to turn a vision of a product into software solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simply put, agile is a term used to describe a product development approach that requires constant planning, team collaboration, improvement, early delivery, and evolutionary development. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Agile is gaining popularity largely because it inspires flexible responses to feedback and change (business 2 community<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The very definition of agile speaks for itself in the context of the expanding, ever-changing, fast-moving reality we inhabit. Software development is and will continue to be a forefront player in the current cultural global evolution. As rebeldot<\/a> mentions, \u201cAGILE = the ability to create and respond to change. A way of dealing and succeeding in a fairly turbulent environment; the ability to adapt.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adaptation is a key to success in the majority of business ventures and other aspects of peoples\u2019 lives nowadays. Moreover, the numbers speak for themselves. One source<\/a> found that a whopping 98% of companies that have adopted Agile have found it beneficial! That figure alone should be enough incentive to give it a try. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To dive into a better understanding of Agile and its merits, it is important to compare its features to those of its predecessor, Waterfall, as outlined by business 2 community<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
