A Brief History<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Initially, software applications were built using the waterfall method, which involved following fixed schedules and different phases, like development and testing, one after the other. This process was slow and did not account for necessary changes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The introduction of Rapid Application Development (RAD) methodology in the 1970s &#8211; 1980s brought revolutionary changes in the IT world. Major companies started adopting it in their project as it was in favor of the adaptive approach.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The credit for the adaptive software development goes to the project managers, Jim Highsmith and Sam Bayer. The timeline below indicates how things and events followed:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The mid 1990s: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The project manager duo Jim Highsmith and Sam Bayer introduced a highly flexible learning-oriented approach to software development that can also tackle and accommodate changing needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>1998:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Jim Highsmith is credited for publishing the book &#8220;Adaptive Software Development: A Collaborative Approach to Managing Complex Systems.&#8221; The book outlined the key principles and practices involved in building IT solutions with the ASD approach.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>2001:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Jim Highsmith, along with 17 co-authors, took the initiative of publishing the Agile manifesto.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The 2000s and Beyond: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ASD started gaining pace in adoption for building complex application codes and proved worthy of handling projects of a dynamic nature.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In broader ways, the ASD methodology acts as a precursor for the agile principles. This can be better understood by analyzing the phases of the process.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_Different_Phases_of_the_Adaptive_Software_Development_Process\"><\/span><b>What are the Different Phases of the Adaptive Software Development Process?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The process has three main phases as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>1.
