Measuring Agile Success Agile methodology is an iterative approach typically used in software development as an alternative to the traditional project management. The approach emphasises on building the software incrementally from the beginning instead of delivering everything at the end, and solutions and requirements 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…

throughout the software development, which is suitable for medium and large scale projects. On the other hand RUP model has some shortcomings as well, such as rapidly requirement changes not being recommended in RUP, which tends to be slow and over-budgeted; reputation in the sense of small and fast paced projects are substandard. As we are also aware of Scrum is a framework, which is not providing proper plan for software development, like a development process to define Software Development…

In a typical Information Technology department there are usually at least 2 teams. The development team that creates systems or software and the operations team that keeps the system or software running. Separation of these two teams leads to problems as the organization grows. Typical problems I have experienced pertain to more projects or work than resources available, a single person holding all the information or being the go-to person for work in the department, and finally not passing on…

Who would have thought a free software could make such a huge impact on computers and the way it is used today. The open operating systems gives its users the freedom to change things and develop programs that people needed or that the user who wrote it needs to do some task. You cannot contribute open sourcing to just one person but the biggest contributor to open source is Linus Torvalds who created Linux. Linus Torvalds' creation of the Linux operating system was a great improvement to the…

Larman describes the iterative development and Agile Methods as a process of organizing a short series of small projects with fixed time constraints, known as…

Agile working methods give the ability to be flexible in uncertain situations, which then brings a decisive competitive advantage. Agile is deeply rooted in software development. In 2001, an international community of seventeen developers formed twelve principles for agile work. The manifesto was written to uncover better ways of software development.
