Agile Software Development is an introduction to agile software development methods. Agile methods try to diminish complexity, increase transparency, and reach a deployable product in a shorter time frame. Agile methods use an iterative and incremental approach to minimize risks and to avoid maldevelopment. The book gives a short introduction to agile methods and agile software development principles. It serves as a study book and as a reference manual. Based on the official Scrum Guide, the book also covers other topics such as best practices for agile software development and agile testing. It targets practitioners who want to start with agile software development, as well as developers or project managers who already use Agile methodologies. The book can be read from the beginning, but each chapter has been written in a way so it can be read individually.

This script is an introduction into agile software development methods. In software engineering, a method defines a structured, goal-driven approach to reach a meaningful result. A method describes formalized procedures that have proven to be useful and expedient.

Classical models such as the waterfall model or the V-model follow a sequential approach. They divide the development process into phases, which are passed through linearly. A new phase is only started if the previous phase has been completed. In practice, classic models have often shown to be sluggish and inflexible. Because of these limitations, agile methods have gained in popularity over the past decades. Agile methods try to diminish complexity, increase transparency, and reach a deployable product in a shorter time frame. Agile methods use an iterative and incremental approach to minimize risks and to avoid maldevelopment.
