Agile is a collaborative, iterative approach to software development that emphasizes flexibility, customer satisfaction, and continuous improvement. 🚀
Core Principles
- Customer Collaboration: Prioritize working closely with stakeholders throughout the project lifecycle.
- Iterative Development: Deliver working software in short cycles (sprints) to adapt to changing requirements.
- Respond to Change: Embrace evolving priorities over rigid plans.
- Deliver Frequently: Release software regularly to ensure value is provided to users.
Common Agile Frameworks
- Scrum: A structured framework with roles (Scrum Master, Product Owner) and ceremonies (sprints, retrospectives).
- Kanban: Focuses on visualizing workflow and limiting work in progress.
- Extreme Programming (XP): Emphasizes technical practices like test-driven development and pair programming.
- Scrumban: Combines Scrum and Kanban principles for adaptive project management.
