What Are The Different Types Of Agile Methodology?

 

Agile methodology is an iterative software development and testing approach that is based on the certain values and principles stated in agile manifesto. This methodology is focused on iterative development and anticipates change. It is much more flexible as compared to traditional models like the waterfall model.

There are various types of agile methods such as:

1.       Scrum: It is a lightweight agile methodology that is used to manage iterative and incremental projects where each project consists of two to four-week sprints. This methodology emphasizes delivering several iterations of a product.

2.       Lean Software Development:The Lean methodology is also known as the MVP technique i.e. Minimum Viable Product in which a team launches a minimum viable version of the product to the market and observes what the customer likes, dislikes, or wants in a product, based on which the teams iterate and take actions to improve the product.

3.       Scaled Agile Methodology (SAFe): This agile framework is for development teams and itemphasizes three pillars i.e.; Team, Program, and Portfolio. It helps teams to collaborate more effectively and helps the organization in achieving quality products.

4.       Extreme Programming (XP): This methodology is very helpful in projects that require constant changes and quick delivery. It emphasizes continuous product development and customer satisfaction and uses scrum-like cycles or sprints. It includes customer interaction, team member’s participation, quick feedback loops, test-driven growth, and one to three weeks shorter iterations.

5.       Feature Driven Development (FDD): It is an iterative and incremental software development process. This methodology is known for short iterations and frequent releases. It works on a simple five-step process that allows rapid development. It has pre-defined development standards that help the teams to move quickly.
