Why Agile Methodologies?
 Traditionally projects are delivered in a series of phases that are
based on increasing levels of certainty around the system being built:
 However this approach has some drawbacks:
 It is not flexible to changes in customer requirements
 Time is wasted building features that nobody needs
 The end user cannot give feedback till it’s completed coded
 You don’t know how stable the system is until the end

The Agile Approach
 Instead of phases, projects are broken down into releases and
iterations. At the end of each iteration you have a fully functioning
system that could be released:
