Best Practices Of Product Engineering Advantage Agile

However, these existing models have some inherent issues

. They do not provide adequate visibility of the projects progress across all the stakeholders. These models are not geared for business requirement changes (less Adaptability) and last but certainly not the least Risk probability is very high

Agile methods attempt to minimize risk by developing software in shorter periods, called iterations, which typically last one to four weeks. Each iteration is like a small software project of its own, and includes all of the tasks necessary to release the mini-increment of new functionality: planning, requirements analysis, design, coding, testing, and documentation. Iteration may not add enough functionality to warrant releasing the product. An agile software project intends to be capable of releasing new software at the end of every iteration.

Adopting Agile helps in planning well for the probable risks and mitigating them accordingly. Any issue/error arising can clearly be spotted and resolved easily. Agile works keeping focus on MAXIMUM collaboration, process, people running it, results and minimal steps. Agile is an alternative to traditional, process-centric software management methods. Todays business requires that we quickly accommodate requirements changes during development. After development, be ready for delivering the upgrades caused by softwares rapid software evolution and the customers ever-increasing requirements

We create a high level list of features customer is looking for and get sign-off on the requirements. These features are broken up in such a way that they could be delivered in short intervals (depends on our plan, but shorter the iteration, better the control). Show it to the customer and ask him to prioritize the list. This gives an extra overlook for the customer to see/verify the features that he requested. After that, create a detailed plan to implement the prioritized feature including a detailed user acceptance test case (As we know, we have a deliverable at the end of each Iteration), so plan till documentation, for the feature. At the end of the iteration, the very first prioritized feature can be delivered to the customer, involving them in the review whenever necessary. After the feature is delivered and approved by the customer, again the customer is asked to reprioritize, and pick the next feature to be delivered for next iteration. Repeat these steps till all the features are delivered. Since the iteration span is 2 weeks, visibility of the project, accuracy in the estimations etc are high which reduces risk factor to a larger extent.
