Agile Software Development
Agile Software Development is an iterative and incremental approach to software development that emphasizes flexibility, collaboration, and customer feedback. It involves breaking projects into small, manageable units called sprints, with regular reassessments and adaptations to changing requirements. Key principles include valuing individuals and interactions, working software, customer collaboration, and responding to change over following a rigid plan.
Developers should learn Agile to work effectively in modern software teams, as it improves adaptability to changing requirements, enhances team collaboration, and delivers value to customers faster through iterative releases. It is particularly useful in dynamic environments like startups, product development, and projects with evolving user needs, as opposed to traditional waterfall methods that can be inflexible.
