User:James walker25/Accidental Agile

Accidental Agile refers to a software development and IT management methodology where traditional waterfall has given way to agile out of necessity. Rapid organizational changes and pressures of market response have caused a breakdown in the development process and to be able to survive, a development team is forced to become agile without fully knowing about agile processes.

The term was first coined by James Walker & Bruce Wand during a software development retreat at ThoughtWorks Chicago (http://www.thoughtworks.com/).
