Adaptive Software Development: A Modern Approach

Adaptive Software Development is a move towards adaptive practices, leaving the deterministic practices in the context of complex systems and complex environments. Adaptive Software Development focuses on collaboration and learning as a technique to build complex systems. It is evolved from the best practices of Rapid Application Development (RAD) and Evolutionary Life Cycles.
Adaptive Software Development is written for project teams that have been struggling with high-speed, high-change projects and are looking for ways to improve performance and to moderate burnout, especially as the projects they undertake get larger and the teams become more distributed.
