Agile Methodology Of Software Development

Agile methodology is one of the most widely used and recognized software development process that promotes flexibility and adaptability. The approach is solely focused around iterative and continuous development, wherein the requirements and solutions evolve through collaborative efforts of cross-functional teams and feedback from end users. The iterative and incremental practices allow rapid product development and helps the team to deliver a high-quality product.

Choose Agile Delivery for Optimizing Your Way of Working

The approach breaks down the project into user stories or modules, prioritizing & scheduling them and then incrementally delivering them in 1-2-week cycles called iterations or sprints. The project development is aimed at continuous improvement or development and therefore teams operate in short cycles. The team communicates directly with the stakeholders, so the product is constantly improved. These holistic practices help in agility across development teams and empowering them to manage the speed of delivery.

Why Agile?

Flexible and Adaptive process

Agile methodology has overcome the traditional project management methods by proving to be very flexible, lean and responsive. It supports the dynamic characteristics of business processes by providing a rapid response to requirement changes, even in the later stages of the project. Its flexible nature makes it the best methodology for the environment that is expected to change steadily.

Boosts Communication and Teamwork

One of the most important part of the agile methodology are its stand-up meetings. The meetings are mainly focused around discussing the scope of work, tasks completed and defining further schedule and timelines. They eliminate the formal structure within a team and focus more on peer interaction and teamwork to optimally utilize every team member’s expertise.

Improves Quality

With its lean and iterative practices there is no doubt that Agile Development improves the overall quality of the software. The agile methodology focuses primarily on feedback from the stakeholders which helps to continuously test and refine the product. With the iterative paradigm, regression testing focuses on the effects that occur due to that iterative development. Methods like automated testing and continuous Integration reduce the probability of bugs and detect issues early in development stages, thus boosting the software quality..

Enriches Business Value

Agile Development aids resourcefulness and saves time and effort. The approach ensures timely delivery without exceeding the budget by optimally using the resources. A continuous evaluation of efforts through the agile development process helps in keeping a tab on the resources. The work transparency and short, iterative delivery cycles help in rapid and efficient development.
