What is Agile?

Agile denote nimbleness. Agile methodology is a light weight development methodology which based on iterative development where solutions evolve from tightly collaborated cross functional teams (Gorakavi, 2009). Agile methodology recommends building a project in small increments. It is a disciplined project management methodology which encourages small development life cycles, business part of the development team, periodic analysis and inspection, dynamic modification of requirements, and highly accountable environment. Though the concept of light weight development methodologies were raised in 70’s, agile methodology got much significance in mid 90’s.
