Agile Methodology Case Study

Agile is a methodology for managing projects using short iterations called sprints where working software is delivered frequently, even every couple of weeks. It focuses on individuals, customer collaboration, responding to change, and delivering working software over comprehensive documentation. The Agile Manifesto outlines principles like satisfying customers through early delivery, welcoming changing requirements, frequent delivery, business and development collaboration, self-organizing teams, and more. Case studies show how companies have successfully implemented Agile by adding teams to increase capacity, meeting critical deadlines through embedded teams, and supporting multiple products through an enterprise Scrum team.

CASE STUDY 2:

AGILE METHODOLOGY
WHAT IS AGILE ?
Agile is a way to manage projects.
Agile breaks down larger projects into
small, manageable chunks called
iterations. At the end of each iteration
(which generally takes place over a
consistent time interval) something of
value is produced. The product produced
during each iteration should be able to be
put into the world to gain feedback from
users or stakeholders.
WHAT IS AGILE ?
AGILE is an
umbrella
term.
AGILE GOALS
Individuals and interactions over processes and

tools
Working software over comprehensive

documentation
Customer collaboration over contract negotiation

Responding to change over following a plan


DEVELOPMENT APPROACH
AGILE PROCESS
AGILE PRINCIPLES
The Agile Manifesto lists 12 principles to guide teams on how to execute
with agility:
 Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer through early and

continuous delivery of valuable software.


 Welcome changing requirements, even late in development. Agile

processes harness change for the customer’s competitive advantage.


 Deliver working software frequently, from a couple of weeks to a couple

of months, with preference to the shorter timescale.


 Business people and developers must work together daily throughout

the project.
 Build projects around motivated individuals. Give them the environment

and support they need, and trust them to get the job done.
 The most efficient and effective method of conveying information to and

within a development team is face-to-face conversation.


AGILE PRINCIPLES

 Working software is the primary measure of progress.

 Agile processes promote sustainable development. The sponsors,

developers, and users should be able to maintain a constant pace


indefinitely.
 Continuous attention to technical excellence and good design enhances

agility.
 Simplicity -- the art of maximizing the amount of work not done -- is

essential
 The best architectures, requirements, and designs emerge from self

organizing teams.
 At regular intervals, the team reflects on how to become more effective,

then tunes and adjusts its behavior accordingly.
