Lean-agile-scrum-xp1. Manifesto for Agile Software Development. The Agile System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) As we described in the book The Enterprise Unified Process (EUP) the scope of life cycles can vary dramatically. For example, Figure 1 depicts the Scrum construction life cycle whereas Figure 2 depicts an extended version of that diagram which covers the full system development life cycle (SDLC). Later in this article we talk about an Enterprise IT Lifecycle. My points are: Figure 1 uses the terminology of the Scrum methodology.

The Scrum construction life cycle of Figure 1, although attractive proves to be clearly insufficient in practice. Figure 2. Figure 3 depicts the agile/basic lifecycle described by the Disciplined Agile Delivery (DAD) framework. Figure 3. Figure 4. On the surface, the agile SDLC of Figure 5 looks very much like a traditional SDLC, but when you dive deeper you quickly discover that this isn't the case. Figure 5. 2. The Concept Phase, sometimes called Iteration -1, is the pre-project aspects of portfolio management. 3. Figure 7. 4. Figure 8. We achieve this by: The Difference Between Waterfall, Iterative Waterfall, Scrum and Lean (In Pictures!) | Project Management.

Agile software development. Agile software development is a set of principles for software development in which requirements and solutions evolve through collaboration between self-organizing,[1] cross-functional teams. It promotes adaptive planning, evolutionary development, early delivery, and continuous improvement, and it encourages rapid and flexible response to change.[2] Agile itself has never defined any specific methods to achieve this, but many have grown up as a result and have been recognized as being 'Agile'. The Manifesto for Agile Software Development,[3] also known as the Agile Manifesto, was first proclaimed in 2001, after "agile methodology" was originally introduced in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

The manifesto came out of the DSDM Consortium in 1994, although its roots go back to the mid 1980s at DuPont and texts by James Martin[4] and James Kerr et al.[5] History[edit] Incremental software development methods trace back to 1957.[6] In 1974, E. A. The Agile Manifesto[edit] Evolutions[edit]
