development methodologies based on iterative development,
where requirements and solutions evolve through
collaboration between self-organizing cross-functional teams.
->principles behind the Agile are:

useful software
* Working software is delivered frequently (weeks rather
than months)
* Working software is the principal measure of progress
* Even late changes in requirements are welcomed
* Close, daily cooperation between business people and
developers
* Face-to-face conversation is the best form of
communication (co-location)
* Projects are built around motivated individuals, who
should be trusted

design
* Simplicity
* Self-organizing teams
* Regular adaptation to changing circumstances

process quick. Mainly for small to mid size software
development where complexities and team size is not big,

Answer / surya

Agile methodology is used to minimize the risk or surprise at the end of the project.
A project is divided into a small projects which has its own SDLC. In case of any failure, the impact will be very minimal i.e. impact will be only on that specific bit of the project.

Scrum is to maintain the transferancy of the progress with the stake holders and to cross check the achievements of the milestones.
