'''[https://crafterfusion.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=332&action=edit Adaptive Software Development] software development''' ('''ASD''') is a [[software development process]] that grew out of the work by [[Jim Highsmith]] and Sam Bayer on [[rapid application development]] (RAD). It embodies the principle that continuous adaptation of the process to the work at hand is the normal state of affairs.
{{Software development process}}
Adaptive software development replaces the traditional [[waterfall model|waterfall]] cycle with a repeating series of ''speculate'', ''collaborate'', and ''learn'' cycles. This dynamic cycle provides for continuous learning and adaptation to the emergent state of the project. The characteristics of an ASD life cycle are that it is mission focused, feature based, [[Iterative and incremental development|iterative]], [[Timeboxing|timeboxed]], risk driven, and change tolerant. As with RAD, ASD is also an antecedent to [[agile software development]].
Line 11:
''Collaboration'' refers to the efforts for balancing the work based on predictable parts of the environment (planning and guiding them) and adapting to the uncertain surrounding mix of changes caused by various factors, such as technology, requirements, stakeholders, software vendors. The ''learning'' cycles, challenging all stakeholders, are based on the short iterations with design, build and testing. During these iterations the knowledge is gathered by making small mistakes based on false assumptions and correcting those mistakes, thus leading to greater experience and eventually mastery in the problem ___domain.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.adaptivesd.com/articles/messy.htm|title=Messy, Exciting, and Anxiety-Ridden: Adaptive Software Development|access-date=2007-05-18|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171004140236/http://www.adaptivesd.com/articles/messy.htm|archive-date=2017-10-04|url-status=dead}}</ref>
