Review on Agile Software Development Methodology

Agile software development has rapidly gained a lot of interest in the field of software engineering. Agile software development, despite its novelty, is an important domain of research within software engineering discipline. In the last 15 years, an excessive number of research studies have been conducted on agile methods, a great number of notable methods have been proposed and various surveys have been presented by many researchers. The various agile Scrum methodologies share much of the same philosophy, as well as many of the same characteristics and practices. In this study, the authors intend to conduct a literature survey study of the surveys of the different agile methodologies ranging from January 2000 to December 2017 using an intuitive research methodology called "Compare and Review" (CR). Agile software development (ASD) methodologies [2] have been gaining acceptance among mainstream software developers since the late 1990s, when they were first postulated in the forms of Scrum [14], Crystal [8], Extreme Programming [5] and other methodologies.
