Extreme Programming

Introduction It has been said before that, “building software is more like creating a work of art, it requires creativity in design and ample craftsmanship to complete”.(3) That statement couldn’t be more true especially as we move further into the 21st century. Companies worldwide realize that producing a product of high quality is exceptionally important and should be a huge consideration when planning a project. As a result, many different methodologies have been developed in order to better organize work and adapt to changes in requirements. When it comes to technology development, it is best to utilize a framework that is more agile in nature. The two frameworks that will be scrutinized in this document are DevOps and Extreme Programming…

Agile software development methods can provide a shorter development cycle, higher customer satisfaction, lower bug rates, and quicker adaptation to rapidly changing business requirements. This paper presents a new hybrid model/method, which combines the Rational Unified Process with eXtreme Programming (XP) and Scrum to maximize the strengths of both conventional and agile methods, while trying to suppressing the weakness of each approach. The Rational Unified Process is used as a skeleton in…

Aleid (2015) explains agile as a set unconventional development methodologies, which are different to the traditional software development approaches such as waterfall approach. Where the main aim is to establish flexible ways of product development, simple code implementations, improving time spent on development and respond to anticipated and unanticipated changes while maintaining close collaboration between the development team and project stakeholders. It advocates team planning, progress,…

evolve sequentially. Product is broken down into incremental builds which are provided in iterations. Each iteration lasts typically almost one to three weeks, and requires cross functional teams to work together in different areas such as requirement analysis, planning, coding and testing. After each iteration, a working software build is delivered and working product is shown to all the important stakeholders, including customers. The builds are incremental and the final build consists of all…

central tenets of the Agile Manifesto are as follows:  Individuals and interactions over processes and tools  Working software over comprehensive documentation  Responding to change over following a plan  Collaborating with customers over contract negotiation Agile supports a broad range of frameworks that can be used in different stages of Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). In addition to methodologies that cover the full development cycle, Agile also offers frameworks that focus on…

Currently, IT industry is going through a revolutionizing change. Competing market emphasizes us more on first time right delivery and zero delayed delivery. Also, the industry has changed a lot the way it operates or the technology it adapts. Now the question put forth is can the technology or the mode of operations help us to achieve the two goals stated above? Earlier people used to pedal a bicycle to reach their destination. At that point of time the problem was to reach a place with…

Why Use Scrum? Scrum Overview According to Scrum Body of Knowledge or SBOK (SCRUMstudy, 2016): Scrum is one of the most popular Agile methodologies. It is an adaptive, iterative, fast, flexible, and effective methodology designed to deliver significant value quickly and throughout a project. Scrum ensures transparency in communication and creates an environment of collective accountability and continuous progress. The Scrum framework, as defined in the SBOK Guide, is structured in such a way…

Businesses to achieve their goal for which they are set up involve number of activities. To better handle or manage these activities or to make the work easier these activities are divided into smaller activities or tasks. A process is simply a well-defined set of steps and decisions points for executing a specific task (Vsellis, 2015). Streamlining these tasks, certain agreed upon steps are followed. So process methodology is an agreed upon way of doing business or running these activities. A…

Task 1 In this assignment for project management I am going to choose the Agile Scrum methodology to use as the main body and examples. Agile Scrum is commonly known as it has its famous 12 principles that achieve a good success in project management. These principles I will describe below in a short description. This will hopefully illustrate whoever reading this a short understanding as I will progress to then explain why, Agile, is used to secure many great benefits to project management. 12…
