AGILE (i.e. Agile) is typically used in software development. Its practices involve an emphasis on developing in collaboration with a cross-functional team of all different subject matter experts (SMEs). The practice of AGILE involves adaptive planning, continual revision, and flexibility in response to changing priorities and goals. Empirical evidence of this model's effectiveness is hard to find since much of its value has been characterized only by anecdotes. The twelve Agile software development principles below are now being applied to other fields such as instructional design.
Customer satisfaction by early and continuous delivery of valuable software
Welcome changing requirements, even in late development
Deliver working software frequently (weeks rather than months)
Close, daily cooperation between business people and developers
Projects are built around motivated individuals, who should be trusted
Face-to-face conversation is the best form of communication (co-location)
Working software is the primary measure of progress
Sustainable development, able to maintain a constant pace
Continuous attention to technical excellence and good design
Simplicity—the art of maximizing the amount of work not done is essential
Best architectures, requirements, and designs emerge from self-organizing teams
Regularly, the team reflects on how to become more effective, and adjusts accordingly
In the field of instructional design, the application of AGILE began with Conrad Gottfredson and encompasses five stages of design: Align, Get set, Iterate & implement, Leverage, and Evaluate. It's an iterative process (like software development) that gives SMEs the opportunity to use collaboration, feedback and iterations to streamline elearning design and development.
AGILE Instructional Design: Faster, Leaner, and More Effective at The Speed of Change by Conrad Gottfredson (2013):
By using the AGILE Model for instructional design, teams work together and they're able to quickly change and improve products which results in a condensed course development time without sacrificing quality.
