I’ve heard about Adaptive Software Development but don’t fully understand what it means. Can someone explain what it is and how it works in software projects?

Adaptive Software Development (ASD) is an agile method focused on handling change instead of resisting it. It follows three main phases — speculate, collaborate, and learn — where teams plan flexibly, work together closely, and adjust based on feedback throughout the project.

Adaptive Software Development (ASD) is an agile approach that embraces constant change and uncertainty. It replaces rigid plans with a repeating cycle of Speculate, Collaborate, and Learn. This iterative, feature-based model prioritizes continuous adaptation and quick delivery of results.
