With all the buzz around Agile and the iterative, fast delivery that Agile methods promise, many software development teams have adjusted their processes accordingly to stay competitive.Yet, many Agile teams have adopted methods simply because they have become best practice, without fully understanding what the benefits are.

• The reasons behind Agile’s popularity
• Six common Agile methodologies and the benefits behind each
