Much has been written over the past several years about the numerous benefits of the agile development process. In stark contrast to the waterfall method, agile is, well, agile, emphasizing the importance of minimal viable products, diving right into work rather than getting caught in the research and planning phases, bringing customers on to the team and communicating with them frequently, and generally letting a broader vision arise organically from the process, rather than imposing a static vision onto developing projects.

But agile isn’t just a template into which design work can be dropped. It can also take some concerted adjustments to a designer’s mentality to get used to this new breed of creative method, which operates across silos and relies on greater flexibility in the formation of that higher creative vision.

30+ Best Flat Web Design Examples
Everybody believes that we are seeing flat web designs are all around us because of the design language Microsoft created. Metro design language was created by Microsoft for Windows 8. It is true that Microsoft is responsible for making it such a big trend, but actually Google is the pioneer of flat color designing.

They all contained flat web designs long before Microsoft developed this language.
Despite the popular opinion that flat web designs are not “cool” the trend is growing rapidly among designers. Designers believe that anyone can play with shadows, effects and gradients but only true designers are able to create good designs using only flat colors and line. An addition to this is that flat web designs load very quickly and they are very friendly with responsive web designing.
