Agile development methodology
Agile development is a system development strategy where the system developers are given the competence to choice from a wide selection of appropriate tools and techniques that can be used when accomplishing a certain task on hand. Agile methods are the integration of different kinds of approaches of system analysis .Design application is considered suitable to the problem that is being solved and the system being developed. It also focuses on different aspects of the software development cycle. Agile methods are also known as agile methodologies.
According to (1):
“agile methods or agile methodologies are a software developing method that is people focused communications- oriented, that is flexible ( ready to adapt to expected changes at any time), speedy , lean (shorting timeframe and costs on Improved quality), responsive and learning ( focused on improvement during and after product development)”.
You get many different types Agile Methodologies such as scum, XP, DSDM which are popular agile methodologies.
Scum is the most popular way to introduce agility because of its simplicity and flexibility. It’s the most popular adopted agile method .It is an agile development method which is mainly concerned particularly on how to manage tasks in a team based development environment. According to (2) :
Scum was developed by Jeff Sutherland & Ken Schwaber. This method involved one or more small teams that work ...

Agile project management is an iterative approach to the planning and monitoring of project processes. Agile projects are conducted in smaller tranches called iterations with each of these iterations closely reviewed and critiqued by the project team (employees, representatives of the clients etc.). The knowledge gained from this process is then used to ascertain the next steps of the
SDLC( Software Development Life Cycle) , is a process used by the software industry to design, develop and test high quality software .The SDLC aim to produce good quality software that meets or exceeds the user’s expectation and reaches completion within time and cost estimates.

When comparing and contrasting waterfall and agile, they both use the same type of building blocks for the project: scope, cost, schedule and performance. They both also analyze, design, build, test, and deploy the requirement needed for the end result. The difference in these terms for each method is that when using waterfall for scope, cost, schedule, and performance, it sets the scope up front and then allows the cost, schedule, and performance to change depending on what is needed. An agile method will set the cost, schedule, and performance upfront and then have the scope vary, depending on what the company’s requests are after a working prototype. The waterfall is an iterative method meaning the next step cannot begin until the current one is completed. Once the current step is completed, it cannot be revised in anyway unless the project is scrapped and begin again. If the waterfall method is chosen, then the project team

A software development methodology is a standard proven process which helps programmers, architects, system analysts and others to make a well controlled and an efficient progress in the high quality software development.
TRIARQ Healthcare Agile development is not a methodology in itself. It is an umbrella term that describes several agile methodologies. At the signing of Agile Manifesto in 2001, these methodologies included Scrum, XP, Crystal, FDD, and DSDM. Since then, lean practices have also emerged as a valuable agile methodology and so are included under the agile development umbrella.
When implementing a new software program, there are different approaches which can be used to manage the project. One of the approaches is the Scrum approach which is an agile method focusing on managing the iterative development instead of specific technical approach. According to Sommerville (2011), the agile method uses incremental development methods for small systems and gives user access to new sections every few weeks based on feedback to make changes, (p 58). With the Scrum approach, there are three phases where the project is outlined, then sprint cycle which is a repetition of tasks to complete the project, and then project closure. With using the sprint cycle of the Scrum approach, a tasked is reviewed and priorities are set and the requirements are introduced. Then the project team works with the customers to select the part of the system to be worked on. After the selection process, the software is developed and then reviewed. After the software has been reviewed, the next cycle starts from the feedback to make changes or add more features to the software. With the new system for the education institution, the first pa...
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. It promotes adaptive planning, evolutionary development and delivery, a time-boxed iterative approach, and encourages rapid and flexible response to change.
Scrum is basically a framework for agile development. Scrum is a process that is used most of the time during complex projects in software development. It is also a simple yet affective way to manage work. The strategy in Scrum is to divide members into a team and have them work together to achieve a common goal or project. Scrum provokes communication between the members of the teams. This communication is imperative to the success of the project.
This principle is the core component of all of 5 principles, because we can say that a big part of lean startup method and the succes rate of this method is determined through this principle. It covers all the topics including transforming ideas into businesses, assess and measure the metrics and testing these metrics.
Agile approach is a pragmatic fashion of software development, wherein the requirements are flexible to the changing needs of the customers, fast paced markets and the iterations of software are implemented and delivered based on business priorities. Agile approach provides various benefits in implementing risky, small and medium sized projects where requirements are uncertain, while managing business and project risks. The value of any implementation is realized only if it delivers benefits to organization and users, which could be assured by effective auditing of the implementation by understanding the implications of agile approach and figuring out right audit techniques and processes. Many organizations are used to perform audit on traditional
The Waterfall Model has been the ideal choice for software development. In this model, an idea become a usable software in a sequential process that cascade through the stages of Initiation, Analysis, Implementation, Testing and Maintenance. But it has some disadvantages. Agile software development evolved as a solution to the disadvantages of Waterfall model. Instead of a sequential design process, the Agile methodology follows an incremental approach.
