3. Introduction Agile Software Development Methodology
Classical methods of software development have many disadvantages:
huge effort during the planning phase
poor requirements conversion in a rapid changing environment
treatment of staff as a factor of production
Solution:
Agile Software Development Methodology B

4. What is Agile?
Agile software development is a group of software development methods based on iterative and incremental development, where requirements and solutions evolve through collaboration between self-organizing, cross- functional teams.

5. When Use Agile?
Incremental (small software releases with rapid development cycles)
Cooperative (a close customer and developer interaction)
Straightforward (easy to learn and modify and are sufficiently documented)
Adaptive(an ability to make and react to last moment changes)

6. Agile Manifesto A Statement of Values
Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
Working software over comprehensive documentation
Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
Responding to change over following a plan

7. Agile methods AD - Agile Database Techniques,
ASD - Adaptive Software Development,

8. Scrum
Scrum is an agile process that allows us to focus on delivering the highest business value in the shortest time.
Roles:
Product Owner

10. Feature-Driven Development (FDD)
FDD is an agile, highly adaptive software development process that is
Highly and short iterative.
Emphasizes quality at all steps
Delivers frequent, tangible working results at all steps
Provides accurate and meaningful progress and status information, with the minimum of overhead and disruption for the developers.
Is liked by client, managers and developers

Crystal methods are focused on:
People
Interaction
Community
Skills
Talents
Communications

14. Extreme Programming
Extreme Programming Explained describes XP as a software-development discipline that organizes people to produce higher-quality software more productively.
XP describes four basic activities that are performed within the software development process: coding, testing, listening, and designing.

16. Conclusions The most popular – Scrum and XP.
In conclusion Agile methods are used when requirements are changing and software development is difficult to contol.

17. Question Agile Manifest? Agile methods characteristics?
