Learn More About Agile Development Software

What is Agile Development Software?

Agile development tools support methodologies like Extreme Programming and Scrum. These aid developers in focusing on quality and responsiveness to changing customer requirements.

Agile development software advocates very short development cycles or “sprints” to improve productivity. Additionally, agile methodology allows for feedback at every stage of the process from either the customer/user, or a user representative like a product-marketing manager whose job it is to understand market requirements in detail.

AnOther element of the agile process enabled by agile development software is pair programming. This means developers work together in teams of two and conduct very extensive code reviews and unit testing. One fundamental guideline throughout the process is that code should be as simple as possible to deliver the required functionality and features.

Agile Development Software Features & Capabilities


Agile development products are designed to support the agile process with varying sets of features, which often include:

  • Release planning to manage multiple teams with a sharable release planning dashboard
  • Development and test sandboxes
  • Requirements management to track requirements backlog, and the ability to break high-level features down into specific functional requirements and map them to releases
  • Iteration or sprint management balancing commitments against team velocity

Agile vs. Waterfall

Agile Development Software approaches software development that first emerged in the late 1980s as a lightweight development methodology to replace the waterfall approach. Waterfall had dominated product development projects until that time.

The well-known problem with waterfall methodologies is that they are sequential (complete one thing before moving on to the next step). They can run for a long time before any feedback is allowed to enter the process from outside. The result is often extremely long development cycles that can result in products that are substantially different from what was originally wanted. This can often have serious usability shortcomings, which cannot easily be fixed.

The Agile Manifesto

The early creators of agile methodologies outline the main principles in a manifesto in 2001. The 12 principles are a clear summary of the approach beginning with:

1. Early customer satisfaction and continuous delivery of useful software
2. flexible requirements, even in late development
3. Frequent software delivery (weeks rather than months)
4. Close, daily cooperation between business people and developers
5. Projects are built around motivated individuals, who are trusted with responsibility

Pricing Information

Agile development Software spans a very broad range of product types from simple project tracking software to full-scale development environments. Pricing varies greatly across the category.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Agile Methodology differ from Waterfall methodology?

Agile development is focused on swift, flexible development, where tasks are completed in sprints with frequent feedback periods. In waterfall methodologies, projects are approached in a sequential, step by step manner, where one step being delayed also delays all the steps after it.

What are the best agile development software options?

The top rated agile development software options are as follows:


Do agile development tools also support other development methodologies?

Some agile development tools, particularly older ones, offer features to support other development methodologies, such as waterfall. Most modern agile development tools primarily or exclusively focus on agile development as it has become the standard in most industries.

Do I need an agile development tool if I already have an application lifecycle management tool?

Many application lifecycle management tools include features to support agile development feature. It is important to note that many do not, though, and many are not as robust as a dedicated agile development tool. If your business already has an ALM tool that meets your project management needs you may not need an agile development tool, but it shouldn’t be seen as a replacement for an agile development tool if you need one.
