The traditional waterfall approach to software development is giving way to a more flexible, transparent methodology called Agile, which delivers faster ROI while maintaining high levels of software quality. Unlike predictive “build to blueprint” waterfall methods, Agile is adaptive, using time-boxed iterations and collaborative problem solving to quickly create release-ready software that end-users need. Agile makes it easy for product owners to align development with changing business priorities and manage risk more effectively.
