Agile Development

Agile Development Process

Project Kick Off

Initiate Kick off meeting to set up agile practices for the project. Key members of the implementation team meet to agree upon what agile techniques and practices will be followed during project execution.

Iteration-0 (Project Inception Phase)

Key project stakeholders from both team shall participate in Iteration 0. This Iteration / Sprint generally lasts for one or two weeks and is used to

Finalize the roles and responsibilities of all people involved in the project
Arrive at a prioritized list of all feature stories (Application backlog)
Arrive at a Prioritized list of user stories (sprint backlog) mapped against the sprint cycle
Finalize the architectural framework and key technical decisions Revisit estimates

Iteration Planning

Each development Iteration lasts for one or two weeks long. The steps include:

Sprint planning
Update Sprint back log
Create development tasks under each story along with estimates for each task
Identify task owners

Iteration Execution

A daily 15 min Stand-up meeting held between all team members to review progress, next steps and obstacles
Depending on the current status recognized through burn down chart, additional stories may get added or removed for future sprints
System testing executed as a part of Sprint execution
The testing team works closely with the development team.

TESTING TEAM

Develops the functional level Test Cases
Executes Test Cases
Raises defects and participate in Triage
Retests and close defects

Benefits of Agile

Using our Agile Development Methods we have helped our customers rapidly accelerate time to market for features whilst maintaining stringent quality standards. Some benefits are:

Speed to market: Gives the advantage to reach consumers with new products, services or offers before anyone else does it
High Collaboration due to Client Involvement: By involving the client in every step of the project, we ensure there is a high degree of collaboration between client and our project team, providing more opportunities for the team to truly understand the client’s vision
Transparency: Clients can see the work in progress at all stages
Early identification of Risks: Small incremental releases that are made visible to the product owner and the entire product team through its development help in the early identification of any issues/risks at an early stage which makes it easier to respond to changes
Flexibility: Constantly refine and reprioritize the product backlog. New or changed backlog items can be planned for the next iteration, providing the opportunity to introduce changes within just a few weeks
Quality Improvement: By breaking down the project into smaller and manageable units, the project team can concentrate on high-quality development, testing, and collaboration to ultimately deliver fully functional and high quality Projects
Right Product Developed: Due to adoption of agile practices there is a high chance that the requirements emerge and evolve, this increase the possibility of developing the correct end product as the emphasis is to be flexible to change but at the same time focus on building the Right product.
