AGILE SW IN A NUTSHELL
Agile SW development has been one of the top topics in SW industry lately. The development methodology has raised from the realization that waterfall-like project management methodologies do not reflect to the real world requirements fast enough. Thus, one main concerns of agile sw development is to be adaptable - any sw project should not fear change, since change is evitable in a SW project. Agile aims to tackle the changing requirements by releasing early and often and demonstrating the process to the customer. Getting feedback from the customers is crucial for the project success.
