This document summarizes several key aspects of agile software development. It defines agile as an iterative approach performed collaboratively to produce high-quality software that meets changing stakeholder needs. Myths about agile, such as no documentation or planning, are dispelled. Popular agile methods like extreme programming, agile unified process, and scrum are introduced along with their characteristics and processes. The document synthesizes existing literature on agile methods to enable comparison and selection.

2. What Is Agile
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 its stakeholders.

3. Myth Reality
1. No Documentation 1. Agile Documentation
2. Undisciplined 2. Requires great discipline
3. No Planning 3. Just-in-time (JIT) planning
4. Not Predictable 4. Far more predictable
5. Does Not Scale 5. Eclipse is agile
6. Not Fixed Price 6. It’s quickly becoming the norm
7. It requires skilled people
8. Agile provides stakeholders
control over the budget, schedule,
and scope

4. Agile Software Development
Agile software development is a conceptual framework
for software engineering that promotes development
iterations throughout the life-cycle of the project.
Software developed during one unit of time is referred to
as an iteration.
Agile methods also emphasize working software as the
primary measure of progress.

5. Agile Software Development: Intro
Characteristics of Agile Software Development
-- Light Weighted methodology
-- Small to medium sized teams
-- changing requirements
-- changing techniques
-- Simple design
-- Minimal system into production

7. Characteristics
Modularity
Iterative
Time-bound
Incremental
People-oriented
Collaborative

8. Existing Agile Methods
Extreme Programming (“XP”)
Agile Unified Process
Scrum

9. Extreme Programming
Most prominent Agile Software development method
Prescribes a set of daily stakeholder practices
“Extreme” levels of practicing leads to more
responsive software.
Changes are more realistic, natural.

10. Agile Unified Process
AUP is a simplified version of RUP
Phases of AUP
 Inception
 Elaboration
 Construction
 Transition

11. Disciplines of AUP
 Model
 Implementation
 Test
 Deployment
 Configuration Management
 Project Management
 Environment

12. Introduction to SCRUM
Scrum is an Agile Software Development Process.
Scrum is not an acronym
name taken from the sport of Rugby, where
everyone in the team pack acts together to move
the ball down the field
analogy to development is the team works
together to successfully develop quality software

13. Conclusion
Synthesizes the existing literature.
Each method is described in terms of process, roles,
responsibilities, practices, adoption and experiences.
Enables a selection criteria for comparing methods
and pointing out their differences.
