3. 1. INTRODUCTION TO AGILE
● “Everything Should Be Made As Simple As Possible
But Not Simpler” -Albert Einstein
● “Core to agile software development is the use of light
but sufficient rules of project behavior and the use of
human and communication oriented rules.”
• -C . Burn

4. ● The term agile can be defined as-
1) ability to move with quick easy grace, or
2) having a quick resourceful and adaptable character
(Merriam-Webster 2002)
● An iterative and incremental (evolutionary) approach
performed in a highly collaborative manner with just the
right amount of ceremony to produce high quality software
in a cost effective and timely manner which meets the
changing needs of it’s stakeholders.

7. 4. AGILE MANIFESTO VALUES
● V1: Individual and interaction are valued over process and
tools.
● V2: Working software is valued over comprehensive
documentation.
● V3: Customer collaboration is valued over contract
negotiation.
● V4: Responding to change is valued over following a plan.

8. 5. AGILE MANIFESTO PRINCIPLES
● P1: Customer is the highest priority
● P2: Welcome changing requirements , even late in
development
● P3: Deliver working software frequently
● P4: Business people and developers must work together daily
throughout the project

9. ● P5: Face-to-face conservation is the best communication
method
● P6: Working software is the primary measure of progress.
● P7: Agile process promote sustainable development.
● P8: Continuous attention to technical excellence and good
design enhance agility.
● P9: The best architecture , requirement , and design emerge
from self-organizing teams.

10. 5. CHARACTERISTICS OF AGILE
● Agile method break the task into small increments with
minimal planning.
● Iteration is a short time frame.
● Each iteration involves a cross-functional team working in all
function.
● Each agile team must have customer representative.
● Most of the agile methodology use daily face-to-face
communication.

15. 7. Methods of Agile
• XP eXtreme Programming
• ASD Adaptive Software Development
• DSDM Dynamic Systems Development Method
• Scrum (the name of an activity in a rugby match)

16. 8. Limitations
● The agilest have not clearly defined the context for their
statements.
● Agile Manifesto and literature concerning agile software
development have not thoroughly discussed the use of
software tools and their role in agility.
● When software development is performed by several parties,
more pressure to communication and coordination emerges.

17. 9. Conclusion
Most frequently changing thing in software development field
is customer requirements which keep on changing with in fraction
of second. Hence it become very difficult for developer to cope up
with continuously changing requirement. In today’s cut throat
competition it is very important to satisfy your customer , if you
are not than you are out of the race.
So in this environment Agile methodology is panacea to all. It
provide flexibility to customers that they can change their
requirement at any point of time according to their ease and this
change is not a matter of worry to developers. In nutshell , Agile
methodology rejuvenate conventional process of software
development.
