The Roots of Agile: How Cultural Artifacts Influence Agile Values
Agile development is a modern methodology that has revolutionized software development. It has emerged from a series of methodologies that were developed over the years, starting from the Waterfall model. This model aimed to deliver a final product that met the requirements and quality standards. However, its downfall was caused by the internet revolution. Web applications require flexibility, which the Waterfall model’s rigid approach does not fit. The Agile Manifesto was developed by a group of experienced software developers who were frustrated with the inefficiencies and limitations of traditional software development methods. They identified four values crucial to the success of any Agile project, which were individuals and interactions, working software, customer collaboration, and responding to change. This blogpost article is about the roots of agile and how agile values are influenced by cultural artifacts.
