Agile Software Development

What Is Agile?

Agile refers to software development methodologies and frameworks that emphasize iterative delivery of working software, rapid and flexible response to change, and leveraging feedback to improve user-focused outcomes. The Agile approach to software development usually results in a product that is designed, engineered, and validated to decrease risk and increase business value to the greatest extent possible. Agile engineering methodologies are being widely adopted as a means of quickly responding to market opportunities, accelerating software development, and reducing cost.

These assessments are invaluable in shaping how we help our clients develop their Agile software solutions.
