The Agile software development process is an alternative to the traditional software development one. It is more like a process which helps frequent and efficient release of production with minimal bugs.
The Agile process is based on the following principles:
- Continuous delivery of software upgrades and customer feedback at each stage
- Additional improvements are welcome at any stage of the development cycle
- Stable releases should be frequent (in weeks)
- Continuous communication between the business team and the developers
- Continuous improvement towards technical excellence and good design
- Working software is the principal measure of progress
- Continuous adaptation towards changing circumstances
