What is Adaptive Software Development?

[EvelynLopez]

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.

Adaptive Software Development (ASD) is an Agile methodology that embraces change and uncertainty as integral parts of the process. Its core is a continuous, non-linear cycle of Speculate (plan loosely), Collaborate (build and test), and Learn (adapt based on feedback), prioritizing flexibility and rapid delivery of evolving software features.

Adaptive Software Development (ASD) is an agile, cyclical method for software development that emphasizes teamwork, learning at all times, and changes in requirements adjustment instead of sticking to a strict plan, therefore, it is the best choice for projects whose goals are unclear or change over time.

Adaptive Software Development (ASD) is a complex system agile framework. It uses a three-phase cycle (Continuous- Speculate (planning with uncertainty), Collaborate (teamwork/execution) and Learn (refining based on results)) instead of working on a rigid plan.

Adaptive Software Development (ASD) is an agile methodology that focuses on flexibility, continuous learning, and rapid adaptation through iterative development, collaboration, and responding quickly to changing requirements instead of rigid planning.

 

[Ammy]

Adaptive Software Development (ASD) is a flexible, iterative approach to software development that emphasizes continuous learning, collaboration, and adapting to changing requirements rather than following a strict plan.

 

[Dustin_Henderson]

Adaptive Software Development (ASD) is an agile software development method that concentrates on constant learning, teamwork, and adaptation to changes rather than sticking to a rigid plan. It is a perfect match for projects with uncertain or evolving requirements, and it leverages brief iterations to develop, test, and refine the product on the basis of feedback.

Adaptive Software Development is a flexible development approach that focuses on continuous learning, collaboration, and rapid adaptation to change instead of following a fixed plan.
