Abstract

Software development is in chaos or mired in red tape. Iterative development, popular in the 60's and 70's has been rediscovered, helping organizations out of the dark ages. New development practice, invention, and discovery are advancing the state of the art, and it's called Agile.

Big processes are not delivering, and neither is coding chaos. Late projects, high defect levels, and stressed teams force engineers to flee for marketing and management.

In this class you will see that Agile is about continuous improvement. Agile is designed to give the visibility needed for organizations make and meet commitments. Agile practices improve communication and quality. Its concrete engineering practices support the iterative model and team work needed to build great embedded software.
