This is because of the fastness that agile approaches bring in the life cycle of software development. This interest in the field shows that there are benefits to reap through successful implementation of agile methods. The field is relatively nascent and research is in its initial stages. The paper has been carried with the distinct objectives of examine and gain insights into the current agile methods and practices, understanding the strengths and weaknesses of agile methods and various issues of their applicability. To meet the set goals and objectives, we used both qualitative and quantitative research methodologies. Apart from a systematized literature survey and review, we performed a case study of four software companies in India.
