Agility provides immense value in software projects by drawing upon the “right-brained” traits of software developers.
Agility brings in fundamentals of collaboration and visibility and, together with iterations and increments, is now the keyword for software development approaches. Principles of usability are applied in designing mobile applications and Internet of Things (IoT) sensors. Component-based software development assembles large chunks of reusable software and services rather than handcrafting individual classes. For example, the sequential life cycle of SE has now evolved into an iterative and incremental approach to software design.
These engineering characteristics continue to evolve as SE adapts to different types of developments.
