Does anyone happen to know if Joint Application Development is categorized under Agile methodology or are they two separate development processes? It appears that SCRUM is a type of agile but JAD is related to RAD and is outside of agile.

Any information on differences are appreciated.

  • What does it matter? Are you resolving a bet? Are you forbidden from using Agile methods? Why split this hair? – S.Lott May 27 '11 at 17:52

    I'm closing this question as off-topic because it is not about a practical programming problem as outlined in the [help/on-topic]. – Martijn Pieters Sep 30 '17 at 06:44

Agile is not a methodology in itself. It is a set of guidelines (the manifesto), a mindset, a way of approaching software development. SCRUM is one manifestation of that as a concrete methodology.

JAD (it appears from Wikipedia) is related to requirements gathering in DSDM. DSDM is typically classed as an agile methodology so I guess your answer is there.

    JAD (like many parts of Agile) is a technique that can be applied or not applied. TDD, continuous integration, etc., are all techniques that are optional. – S.Lott May 27 '11 at 17:53
