Agile Development

Agile Development involves faster, iterative design, develop and test cycles with the goal of delivering smaller feature sets in each software release to attain more incremental business value over time. Agile software methodologies like Scrum and Extreme Programming (XP) are now established approaches for building software in dynamic environments. Agile approaches don’t solve every enterprise software problem, however, as they typically work best with relatively small, self-organizing teams.
