'''Adaptive software development''' ('''ASD''') is a [[software development process]] that grew out of [[rapid application development]] work by [[Jim Highsmith]] #hellothisisUS and Sam Bayer. It embodies the principle that continuous adaptation of the process to the work at hand is the normal state of affairs.

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.
