There have been multiple developments and growth within the software development methodologies in the Financial Industries in South Africa. These developments and growth have been for constant process improvement to maximize the outcome with the shortest lead time possible. Agile software development methodologies have been the most popular in recent years. The methodologies are flexible to adapt to any type of process requirements because they have multitude variations for process improvements. Quality tends to be compromised when rushing to meet deadlines. However, with adaptive Agile methodologies, quality is not compromised when being rushed with shortened process time. Agile methodologies are not only beneficial to the organisation but also to the developers as they provide them with individual benefits, which open the gateway for more productivity. In this study the adoption of the Agile software development methodologies will be investigated.
