Agile Development Models
Agile Development Models
Scrum: Scrum methodology serves as a framework for tackling complex projects and ensuring
their successful completion. It is led by a Scrum Master, who oversees the process, and a
Product Owner, who establishes the priorities. The Development Team, accountable for
delivering the software, is another key player.
Extreme Programming (XP): Extreme Programming uses specific practices like pair
programming, continuous integration, and test-driven development to achieve these goals.
Extreme programming is ideal for projects that have high levels of uncertainty and require
frequent changes, as it allows for quick adaptation to new requirements and feedback.
Lean Development: Lean Development is rooted in the principles of lean manufacturing and
aims to streamline the process by identifying and removing unnecessary steps and activities.
This is achieved through practices such as continuous improvement, visual management, and
value stream mapping, which helps in identifying areas of improvement and implementing
changes accordingly.
Unified Process: Unified Process is a methodology that can be tailored to the specific needs
of any given project. It combines elements of both waterfall and Agile methodologies, allowing
for an iterative and incremental approach to development. This means that the UP is
characterized by a series of iterations, each of which results in a working product increment,
allowing for continuous improvement and the delivery of value to the customer.
