More and more teams are using Agile methodologies. Many of them have great success. Others might only get a better-than-not-doing-it result. In this book, we're going to use Agile to build the TaskAgile application. Since this is a full-stack development experience for one developer, we will only be able to practice some Agile methods. For example, there won't be a daily standup meeting for the obvious reason.

Before moving on, let's discuss what Agile software development is so that we can have a better understanding of the methods that we will use.

When talking about Agile development, Scrum, Extreme Programming, Lean, and Kanban are the buzzwords.  We're not going to discuss these here. Instead, let's go back to the values in the Agile manifesto (http://agilemanifesto.org). Everything else is based on that.
