Agile Software Development: Intro

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, which may last from one to four weeks.

Agile methods also emphasize working software as the primary measure of progress

Agile Software Development

Agile --readiness for motion, nimbleness, activity, dexterity in motion

Agility

The ability to both create and respond to change in order to profit in a turbulent business environment

Companies need to determine the amount of agility they need to be competitive

Chaordic

Exhibiting properties of both chaos and order

The blend of chaos and order inherent in the external environment and in people themselves, argues against the prevailing wisdom about predictability and planning

Things get done because people adapt, not because they slavishly follow processes
