Software development paradigms are shifting. The development team’s abilities are growing increasingly important as organizations realize that traditional methodologies are not meeting goals—too many conventional projects fail to deliver on their expected value, and some don’t deliver at all. The term “Agile Development” refers to the use of several incremental, iterative procedures and practices, including Scrum, Extreme Programming (XP), and Feature-Driven Development. Learn how this approach focuses on keeping quality code simple, testing often, and delivering functional bits of the application as soon as they're ready.
