It delves into the advantages of Agile, such as increased customer satisfaction and flexibility, while also acknowledging its limitations, including the inability to handle highly complex projects. The presentation outlines various Agile methodologies, including Scrum, Extreme Programming (XP), Crystal, and Dynamic Systems, and emphasizes the importance of customer collaboration, working software, and adaptability. The content is structured to highlight key aspects like planning, requirement analysis, design, coding, and testing, providing a clear understanding of the Agile development process. References to academic sources are also included to support the information presented.

AGILE
DEVELOPMENT

Introduction
 Agile software
development is a process
in which requirements are
gathered for the purpose
of developing a software.
 In agile method the
products are divided into
small parts.
 Agile model focuses on
developing a project
based on time boxes and
delivers the project within
the time.

Features of agile
development
 Offers simple design
