Title: So, How Do You Make Agile Successful?
1What is Agile and how to make it successful?
2 What is Agile?
- Agile is a way to manage projects. It can be used
for virtuallyanything, but it was founded in
software development. - In agile methodology, the large tasks are divided
into small modules/ iterations. At the end of
each iteration something of value is produced. - Unlike Waterfall project management, which is
strictly sequenced you dont start design until
research is done and you dont start development
until the designs are signed off on. Agile
involves cross functional teams like planning,
requirement analysis, designing, developing,
testing to work simultaneously.
3 Agile Manifesto
Individuals and interactions over processes and
tools
Working software over comprehensive documentation
Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
Responding to change over following a plan
4 How it Works
- The whole project is divided into break ups which
are then allotted sprints (the time estimates
that are allotted to each breakdown). Each Sprint
is further divided among following processes
5 Sprint Planning
- Following factors are considered at this point
-
- Project Goals
- People who will be involved in the project
- Creation of Project Backlog
- Determine what features to work on
6 Project Backlog
It is a list of features that the end users wish
to see in the website or mobile app. Once the
features are concentrated in one place, they are
divided into priorities. The features are then
divided into the various iterations or sprints,
according to the priority and flow of the website
or mobile app.
7 Feature Estimation
Sifting and sorting by the various factors can
help break down a large feature list into some
manageable chunks. Feature estimation makes it
easier for the project team to judge what all
requirements are in priority and which can be
handled on a later date.
8Review
At this stage, every sprint is discussed in terms
of its feasibility, operation, and improvement.
Following this step, either the next sprint is
taken up or the project backlogs are prioritized
again.
9 How to make your Agile Project a Success
- Open CommunicationBeing in the loop about what
is ahead of schedule and what is behind, can help
ease the concerns emerging with unpredictability.
A translucent process keeps both the clients and
team members at ease and focused. - Having a Standalone teamTo ensure the success
of your project, have a separate project
management team which would later collaborate
with those focusing on the one project. - Devised PlanningComing up with a strong project
backlog and estimating all the features are the
two grounds which you will have to plan,
rigorously.
