Agile software development is set of software development methodologies based on iterative and incremental development, where requirements and solutions evolve through collaboration between self-organizing, cross-functional teams.
Incremental software development methods have been traced back to 1957. ”Lightweight’ software development methods evolved in the mid-1990s as a reaction against ‘heavyweight’ methods, which were characterized by their critics as a heavily regulated, regimented, micromanaged, waterfall model of development. Supporters of lightweight methods (and now agile methods) contend that they are a return to earlier practices in software development.
Early implementations of lightweight methods include Scrum (1993), Crystal Clear, Extreme Programming (1996), Adaptive Software Development, Feature Driven Development, and Dynamic Systems Development Method (1995). These are now typically referred to as Agile methodologies, after the Agile Manifesto.
In the current environment with constant changes and almost infinite ways accessing information and communicating it is essential to make communication as clear as possible and ensure the quality of information is maintained at all time.
