Agile

Agile | Scrum | Kanban | Lean
Agile development is a set of software development methods that emphasize flexibility, collaboration, and iteration in the development process. Agile methods are based on the idea that requirements and solutions evolve through the collaboration of cross-functional teams.

Key principles of agile development include:

Focus on early and frequent deployment of working software
Prioritize flexibility and adaptability over following a fixed plan
Promote collaboration and communication among team members and stakeholders
Acceptance of change and continuous improvement of the development process

Some popular agile development methodologies include Scrum, Kanban, and Lean. These methods provide a framework for organizing and managing the development process, including defining roles and responsibilities, planning and tracking work, and conducting regular reviews and retrospectives.

Other topics related to agile development include agile testing, agile project management, and agile transformation (i.e., the process of moving an organization to an agile way of working).

BITS experts have used Agile methods in a wide range of projects. A selection of case studies and references can be found below.
