AGILE APPROACH

Agile is a way of running projects and software development that is places an emphasis on people, communication, working software, and responding to change. Its principles are summarized in its seminal declaration, the Agile Manifesto.

Our Agile methodologies engage an iterative workflow and incremental delivery of working software in short time-boxed iterations. An iteration is essentially Agile Approach...a small release of software. Generally during each iteration many activities will occur in parallel, such as requirements, coding, and testing. Iterations are typically a fixed length (although this length varies among projects) and thus are referred to as time-boxed. The time allocated to each iteration is sometimes referred to as a cycle time.

So, as the Agile Manifesto says, WE FOLLOW THESE PRINCIPLES :

  • Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of valuable software.
  • Welcome changing requirements, even late in development. Agile processes harness change for the customer's competitive advantage.
  • Deliver working software frequently, from a couple of weeks to a couple of months, with a preference to the shorter timescale.
  • Business people and developers must work together daily throughout the project.
  • Build projects around motivated individuals. Give them the environment and support they need, and trust them to get the job done.
  • The most efficient and effective method of conveying information to and within a development team is face-to-face conversation.
  • Working software is the primary measure of progress.
  • Agile processes promote sustainable development. The sponsors, developers, and users should be able to maintain a constant pace indefinitely.
  • Continuous attention to technical excellence and good design enhances agility.
  • Simplicity--the art of maximizing the amount of work not done--is essential.
  • The best architectures, requirements, and designs emerge from self-organizing teams.
  • At regular intervals, the team reflects on how to become more effective, then tunes and adjusts its behavior accordingly.
