3. What is Agile?
“Agile is an iterative and incremental (evolutionary) approach to software
development which is performed in a highly collaborative manner with "just
enough" ceremony that produces high quality software which meets the changing
needs of its stakeholders”
- Scott Ambler, IBM
In common usage, “Agile” refers to being adaptable; to move and respond quickly.

5. Agile Principles
➢ Do things in small increments with minimal planning
➢ Iterations - short time frames
➢ Follow a full SDLC with small, self-organizing teams which work with a
common goal and a high degree of communication
➢ Each team needs to have a customer representative
➢ Frequent meetings and less documentation
➢ Highest priority is to satisfy the customer through early and continuous
delivery
➢ Welcome changing requirements
➢ Working software is the primary measure of progress
➢ Business people and developers must work together daily throughout the
project

➢ XP- Project Implementation/Development while SCRUM-Project Management
➢ Metaphor - use short names and descriptions to communicate common terms
➢ Refactoring - improve the design of the software through every stage of development
➢ Coding Standard - the programmers write code in the same way
➢ Paired Programming

11. Feature Driven Development

➢ Focuses on the design and building phases
➢ Develop an Overall Model:- overall shape of the system, classes, inter-relationships
➢ Build Feature List:- produce fine grained feature list
➢ Plan By Feature:- sequenced feature set assigned to chief programmers
➢ Design by Feature:- each feature is represented by a sequence diagram in UML
➢ Build By Feature:-the code for each feature is written by the members of the team

12. Conclusion
➢ Agile is not just about scrum and sprint
➢ Various methods are prevalent for implementing agile
➢ Choosing the right Agile methodology depends upon your environment
➢ Agile is IIA-Iteration, incremental, adoptive
➢ Agile or not, ask yourself if the process is IIA
➢ Different aspects of the project can be handled by different methodologies
