Agile Process Methodology and Practices Notes

Agile ek iterative project management aur software development ka methodology hai. Ye jaldi aur effective value delivery ko customers tak pahunchaata hai. Iska focus process adaptability aur customer satisfaction par hai timely delivery ke zariye. Projects ko choti choti iterations mein baanta jaata hai na ki lambi term plans mein. Shuruat mein ye software ke liye develop kiya gaya tha, lekin ab ye alag alag industries mein bhi use ho raha hai. Agility ka matlab hai changes ka turant response dene ki capability, khaas taur par external changes ke liye.

    • Feature Driven Development (FDD): tangible results deliver karne par focus karta hai.
