Agile Development

Agile Development
 Agile development is an adaptive
approach which helps in finding the
solutions through cross functional
teams
 It give more emphasis on :
 Team work and interaction
 Operational efficiency of software
 Involvement of customer
 Adapting and responding to
changes.

Advantages of Agile Development
 It helps in responding
quickly to changes.
 It provides easy
maintenance and
management.
 It encourages cross training
and team work.
 Requirement of resource are
very minimum.
 Provide flexibility and
feasibility to developers.
 Development time gets
reduced.
 It provides error free
solutions.
 Functionality are easy to
create and understand.
 It is based on realistic and
adaptive approach.
 Customers get updates
after every iteration.

Disadvantage of agile development
 It is more prone to risk of
extensibility and
sustainability.
 Documentation
requirement is very less
which increase individual
dependency.
 High complexities are not
handled.
 Customer interaction
reduces efficiency if
customer does not know
the scope of the project.
 It reduces the efficiency of
the decision making
 Developer face problem
when new project is
assigned.

Agile Development Process
 Agile Development has the following
phases :
 Collection of data
 Analysis of data
 Design
 Development of functionality/Coding
 Integration
 Testing
 Client feedback
 Make Changes
 Acceptance testing

 Agile methodologies are the set of protocols and
conventions followed by team.
 Agile methodologies available in the market are Extreme
Programming, Crystal, Scrum, Feature Driven
Development (FDD), Dynamic Systems Development
Method (DSDM), Lean and Kanban Software development
Agile Development Methodology

Principle of methodology
 Self- organizing team
 Simplicity
 Operation software
 Fast delivery of solutions
 More attention to increase
efficiency
 Emphasis on excellency of
technical skills
 Satisfaction of customer
 Face to face
communication
 Adaptive to changes
 Provide best effective
solution
 Encourage team work
 Sustainable development

Example first – Lean And Kanban
software Development
 Lean software helps in reducing
waste, building the integrity and . It
encourages speed and development by
empowering team.
 The Kanban Methodology focuses
more on continuous delivery with the
deployment of product. It increase the
team efficiency. It is based on 3
principles :
Work flow
Quantity of work
Enhance flow

Example Second – Extreme
Programming (XP)
 It is one of the most used agile
methodology and focus on
discipline approach.
 It helps in designing and planning
game, testing and coding.
 Extreme Programming is based on
four principles which are
communication, to maintain
simplicity, loop feedback, and
encourage interaction of customer.
