Agile methods

The agile methodology

This approach was popularized from 2001 by the Manifesto for Agile Software Development. The four values ​​and twelve principles adopted in this manifesto come from a wide range of methods including Scrum and eXtreme Programming. Since then, the methods which are part of the philosophy of this manifesto have been called "agile methods".

Agile methods are intended to be more pragmatic than traditional methods, involve the requester (client) as much as possible and allow great responsiveness to their requests. They are based on an iterative, incremental and adaptive development cycle.

The web was also built like this, by iteration in an incremental and adaptive way.
