MOBILE LENDING LIBRARY2Task 1 – Development Methodology1.1 Business contextMobile Lending Library (MLL) is a small non-profit business that provides mobilelibrary service in rural areas, towns and villages in which there is no permanent library. Thecustomer base of this business is basically elderly people that are less adapted to technology. Thebusiness have decided to reach the clients beyond their existing customer base. The currentinventory has not been added to the database and it is being maintained using A4 paper ledger.Hence, it becomes difficult to track the items that are being borrowed and by which person.Therefore, MLL has decide to develop an application for overcoming the issues.1.2 Chosen development methodologyAgile methodology has been chosen as the development methodology for developing themobile application. The chosen methodology is a lightweight process of software developmentthat incorporates iterative cycles and ensures success of an IT project. It involves the users forestablishing, prioritizing and verifying the requirements (Abrahamsson et al. 2017). In thismethodology, the project is carried out by relying on the knowledge and expertise of a teamrather than focusing on documentation. In traditional development methodologies, there areissues such as lack of input from users and change or incomplete requirements that may causedelay or even failure of projects. The Agile methodology increases the chances of deliveringsuccessful projects. The traditional methods focuses and invests a large amount of time indesigning, capturing and documentation of requirements while agile method is oriented towardspeople and is adaptive (Gill 2018). The traditional methods focuses on managing changes inrequirement and project scope against the plan rather than delivering product that satisfies the

However, agile method considers the changes and allows the project to implement thosechanges as and when requested by the client. 1.3 Eight principles of DSDM AternThe eight principles of DSDM Atern along with their application in context to the projectare listed as below:Focus on the business need – This principle reflects that the decisions being taken in themobile app development project must be in line with the project goal and business needs ofMLL.Deliver on time: There is a need to focus on the time required for development of themobile application so that it can be delivered to MLL on time.Collaborate: There should be active cooperation and collaboration between the membersthat will be working on the project (Carroll and Morris 2015). Never compromise quality: The quality of the product to be delivered should beapproved from stakeholders and the project should be executed according to that specificationsonly. Build incrementally from firm foundations: This principle reflects that a prototype ofthe mobile application can be delivered to MLL before estimated delivery date so that they canprovide feedback on the deliverable.Develop iteratively: The project must be conducted using iterative development fordelivering the right outcome to MLL.
