What Is Agile Web Development?

If you are new to the industry or have never had anything to do with it before, you will probably not be familiar with the term 'agile web development' or what it means for websites that are created with this in mind. You will also probably be unaware of how agile development can help the website creation process to become more effective and improve communication.

What is agile web development?

The term was coined when a group of developers were in the process of creating some software - they began to observe development teams within other companies and noticed that some of their processes made completing work much easier. Eventually, they compiled all of their observations into a document known as the Agile Manifesto.

What does agile development involve?

Basically, the Agile Manifesto outlined what the industry should be valuing in place of the things that its employees currently value. These include:

Individuals and interactions instead of processes and tools. Working software instead of comprehensive documentation. Customer collaboration instead of contract negotiation. Responding to change instead of following a plan.

These developers found that valuing each of the factors on the left hand side made for a much better and smoother process.

To ensure that you are practicing agile web development within your own company, there are twelve theories and techniques that you should ensure you and your employees are following. Delving into each of these theories and techniques, however, is another story altogether - and one we will eventually get to.
