Agile modeling is a supplement to other [[agile development]] methodologies such as [[Scrum (development)|Scrum]], [[extreme programming]] (XP), and [[Rational Unified Process]] (RUP). It is explicitly included as part of the [[disciplined agile delivery]] (DAD) framework. As per 2011 stats, agile modeling accounted for 1% of all agile software development.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.versionone.com/state_of_agile_development_survey/2011/ |title=State of Agile Development Survey Results, 2011 |access-date=2014-06-26 |archive-date=2015-07-17 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150717120712/http://www.versionone.com/state%5Fof%5Fagile%5Fdevelopment%5Fsurvey/2011/ |url-status=dead }}</ref>

Agile modeling is one form of Agile model-driven engineering (Agile MDE), which has been adopted in several application areas such as web application development, finance, and automotive systems <ref>{{cite journal | url=https://kclpure.kcl.ac.uk/portal/en/publications/the-integration-of-agile-development-and-model-driven-development-a-systematic-literature-review(af6a79a4-01a5-4cfd-a8a4-36d11890fc74).html | title=The Integration of Agile Development and Model Driven Development: A Systematic Literature Review | journal=The 5Th5th International ConfrenceConference on Model-Driven EngineeingEngineering and Software Development | date=January 2017 | last1=Alfraihi | first1=Hessa Abdulrahman A. | last2=Lano | first2=Kevin Charles | pages=451–458 | doi=10.5220/0006207004510458 | isbn=978-989-758-210-3 | s2cid=11369604 }}</ref>

Line 23:

# Inclusive tools. Prefer modelling tools, such as whiteboards and paper, that are easy to work with (they're inclusive).

# Iteration modeling. When a requirement/work item has not been sufficiently explored in detail via look-ahead modeling the team may choose to do that exploration during their iteration/sprint planning session. The need to do this is generally seen as a symptom that the team is not doing sufficient look-ahead modeling.

# Just barely good enough (JBGE). All artifactartifacts, including models and documents, should be just sufficient for the task at hand. JBGE is contextual in nature, in the case of the model it is determined by a combination of the complexity of whatever the model describes and the skills of the audience for that model.

# Look-ahead modeling. An agile team will look down their backlog one or more iterations/sprints ahead to ensure that a requirement/work item is ready to be worked on. Also called "backlog grooming" or "backlog refinement" in [[Scrum (software development)|Scrum]].

# Model storming. A short, often impromptu, agile modeling session. Model storming sessions are held to explore the details of a requirement or aspect of your design.
