Agile software development

Both Intersection of Agile and Waterfall and Embracing Agile discuss how Agile is adaptive and works in sprints. It is noted that Agile has a “lean development method” Grech, T. (2015, August) where “change is necessary” Rigby, D. K., Sutherland, J., & Takeuchi, H. (2016, May). Agile is a methodology where “all of the work is equally critical” Grech, T. (2015, August) where the waterfall method does not have that equality between the work. However, both forms of methodology require specific…

I decided to include this chapter because I believe the way you approach development strongly links to the final outcome. The nature of my project involves making many changes as I am producing the application. Therefore, I decided to choose agile development for this application.

Further, he explains the interests about the area since the 17th century and the studies conducted afterwards in a chronological fashion. However, his main focus is on the recent studies…

1.0 Construction After the submarine cable has been designed inch-perfect, it is the next step where skills of geography are required. The construction of a submarine communications cable is not an easy matter. Furthermore, it is not an inexpensive job too. Skills and knowledge are required by engineers and workers whom are laying down the submarine communications cable. To ensure that the millions of dollars invested on the cable do not go to waste, every single precaution step must be taken…

The current approach Model 204 (M204) is the underlying mainframe technology for the Department of Human Services (DHS) core Income Security Integrated System (ISIS), which is a system that Centrelink has used to help with social welfare payments for last 30 years. Since M204 was introduced in 1983, there have been bolted over 350 additional components on top of the M204 database. (Cowan, 2014) M204 was chosen because it can be highly customized to crunch large volume of numbers. However, after…

allow for this, following a rigid model where the plans are set and then followed throughout the development process. What is Scrum in relation to Agile? Basically Scrum is a type of Agile used for software development. Scrum can be seen as a type of cross-functioning group that bounces workloads back and forth in order to complete the project in the allocated period of time. Whereas then you have Agile which is about delivering value in a short period of time, encouraging talent, teamwork,…

All throughout the project we were in tight collaboration with Business Analysts in every iteration. I am a “customer empathetic” engineer and I think as a project manager…

Why should technical writers be included in the development lifecycle? Is the company concerned about missed deadlines, buggy code, and unhappy users? This may seem to counter previous experience, but an agile approach to documentation can address all these problems. This can only happen if the whole team is on board. Documentation under a waterfall technique gives the team little reason to care about capturing important information about a feature. It seems in the industry that…

8 BEST PRACTICES TO FOLLOW IN AGILE METHODOLOGY From the late 1990’s, the software development sector experienced an upsurge in demand, as the world’s markets evolved to a more tech-oriented scope to their businesses. With a greater requirement for software development by companies targeting to increase delivery, value, and quality of output, a set of principles were constructed specifically for this purpose. These principles are collectively known as agile methodology, and they focus primarily…
