| | Agile Documentation: Strategies for Agile Software Development |
| | Agile developers recognize that documentation is an intrinsic part of any system, the creation and maintenance of which is a “necessary evil” to some and an enjoyable task for others, an aspect of software development that can be made agile when you choose to do so. | | | Agile software development is new to many organizations and as a result there is significant fear and uncertainty concerning its viability, and although it’s frustrating at times this is actually a good thing because it means that people care. | | | Although this isn’t a problem with agile software processes it definitely can be one with prescriptive software processes. |

| | Portal for Agile Methodologies and Practices |
| | Agile software development is an emerging force in the world of software development designed to face the challenges of an increasingly volatile marketplace. | | | But these Agile processes are not a total deviation from traditional software techniques, as Agile development employs many concepts that have been present for years, such as test-driven design, pair programming, and refactoring. | | | It is important to educate the software community about the potential benefits of Agile software development in order to provide software engineers with new insights and ideas about tackling common problems such as quality assurance, customer satisfaction, development scheduling, etc. |
