Agile Development
"Agile Development" is a group of software engineering methodologies based on iterative development, where requirements and solutions evolve through collaboration between self-organizing, cross-functional teams.
Driven by the Agile Manifesto of 2001, it replaces traditional Waterfall pipelines, allowing rapid, customer-validated sprint cycles for high-uncertainty markets.
- Iterative Sprints: Breaks development down into 1-to-4 week sprints, validating minimal viable products (MVPs) early.
- High Adaptability: Embraces changing specifications, avoiding massive manual redesign costs late in the lifecycle.
- Contract Alignments: Fits time-and-materials (quasi-delegation) contracts better than strict fixed-price commitments.
Frameworks: Scrum and Kanban
Scrum is the most utilized Agile framework, prioritizing backlogs and enforcing daily standups to align engineering tasks with immediate business goals.
