During the past years, many new software development methodologies were introduced to develop the high quality software in short period of time with minimal costs and within unpredictable changing environment and Agile Methodology is one of them. This paper presents the difference between the agile methodology concepts in reality and in theory. For this data is collected from four small scale industries that are using Agile methodologies concepts during software development and analysis about the practical adoption level of Agile is framed out.
