Developing with Agility

My only previous exposure to the development world fell within a waterfall-style format. It has been inspiring to learn about the Agile method and the ways in which Substantial and other forward-thinking development teams work to achieve their goals and solve problems. It is exciting to be learning about working in this way and integrating the principles into my own development practices.

The Agile method provides solutions to some major problems that are encountered in a software development environment. Here are a few of the problems that I have noticed.

They should keep their focus on tracking runs, no need for the extra categories that most runners won't use.
  1. Insightful
  • MapMyRun developed an app that makes tracking your run even easier, instead of having to log into the website to create a route you can simply carry your phone with you during your run and it will track your route using geolocation. This makes the overall experience much
