# Agile Methodology An iterative approach to project management. --- ## What is Agile? A software development lifecycle (SDL): A process in which a piece of software is developed through and interated on during a period called a sprint. --- ## Why is it important? Agile allows developers to produce production level code in stages. At each iteration a new feature is introduced, an old feature is being sunsetted, or a code breakage is fixed. This process is call CICD (*Continuous Integration Continuous Development*) --- ## CICD Build, Test, Deploy. til infinity LITERALLY!!! --- ## What is a sprint? A two week interval in which a certain part of the project is coded. This is where a engineer takes a user story and codes part of the feature by satisfying it's requirements. --- ## Stages of Agile ``` Plan Design Deploy Review ``` --- ## Plan Where all the requirements are gathered and features are created. Each feature is split into small parts called user stories. *Usually while we are working on code form one sprint we plan and refine feratures in an upcoming one.* --- ## Design Engineers design the parts of the project over the duration of a sprint. --- ## Deploy Once the code is complete it is deployed to a production environment. *(Jenkins, AWS, Heroku, Netlify, Github Pages)* --- ## Review Once the code is deployed it is reviewed constantly interated. This Step also appears in the beginning of the process.
