| Agile Methods |
Contrary to the conventional Waterfall Methodology, which is plan-focused approach to software development, Agile Methodology uses an iterative approach. Agile Methodology is adaptive in nature than Waterfall Methodology, to accommodate changes in the due course of development process. Agile Methodology is people oriented and teamwork focused. While an individual's contribution to the software development is recognized, at the same time, the accountability and responsibility is shared by the team collectively.
Not all projects could use Agile Methodology for software development. Success has been demonstrated when the size of the team is small, less than 20 members, and the team is not geographically dispersed, as interaction among the team members is one of the core principles for the success of Agile Software Development.
Agile Software Development offers various benefits to the business, where continuous flow of value from the project is seen from start of the project; uncertainty is managed by iteration, anticipation and adaptation to the changes; the Agile culture promotes creativity and innovation and recognizes the value of individual's contribution.
There are certain challenges observed in Agile Methodology. The project organization is often lacks defined milestones, which throws cost, schedule and contractual implications. As the technical requirements of software and architecture principles are not adequately addressed holistically in the iterative process, the stability of the software architecture and design is taken backseat.
