Abstract: In today’s world software development is a complex process which requires requirements gathering, analysis, development, testing, delivery and maintenance. Over the last few years, there are different Software development methodologies in the IT industry like Waterfall, Incremental, Prototype, V-Model, Agile etc. In this competition world, companies do not need aSDLC model which consumes a lot of time and effort to develop a software. More time taken to develop the software will lead increased cost, competition and delayed time to market.Most of the projects have failed because they arenot able to respond to the changing user needs. This has encouraged the software engineers to propose flexible and effective techniques that help to develop quality software. The methodology impacts software development because it results in quality products. To mitigate these problems Agile methodology is a modern approach in software development. Agile methodology aims to meet the customer requirements with the deployment changes in the rapidly developing environments. Agile principles and innovative setup rules and protocols helps developers to overcome the challenges faced in the traditional waterfall model.The benefits of Agile include flexibility to change the requirements, enhanced product quality, cost effective, customer interaction, and continuous testing.This paper explains various ways in which agile methodology impacts software development. Italso describes benefits and limitations of agile methodology. This paper helpssoftware development companies to adopt thismethodology in order to develop software that meet their changing needs.
