What is Adaptive Software Development?

I’ve been reading about adaptive software development and it seems to be a flexible approach where development teams adapt to changes during the project instead of following a strict plan. It focuses on collaboration, continuous feedback, and iterative improvements.

Adaptive Software Development is a flexible software development methodology that emphasizes continuous adaptation, collaboration, and learning rather than rigid upfront planning. It breaks projects into short, iterative cycles where teams speculate, collaborate, and learn to respond to changing requirements and deliver high‑value software in evolving environments

Adaptive Software Development (ASD) is an agile methodology that focuses on flexibility, continuous learning, and collaboration. It helps teams quickly adapt to changing requirements through iterative development, frequent feedback, and incremental improvements, enabling faster delivery of software in dynamic and uncertain project environments.

Adaptive Software Development is an agile development process that emphasizes flexibility, collaboration, and learning. This process was developed by Jim Highsmith to assist teams in coping with dynamic requirements that are constantly changing. Unlike other processes that are based on a plan, ASD is based on iteration through the following processes: speculate, collaborate, and learn. This process helps teams adapt to new information, improve their products gradually, and deliver better products in dynamic environments where projects are not certain.
