Best practices – Agile scrum
At Software Associates we have adopted the Agile Scrum way of working for execution of small and medium sized projects. This methodology lays stress on iterative development, focusing on a working product at all times in the execution lifecycle. A large project is broken down into releases and releases to sprints. The project gets executed through multiple time-boxed sprints, in which user stories are implemented as fully functional features and integrated into an evolving working product. Multiple small scrum teams are involved in the execution of the project instead of large teams.
During the execution of a sprint, collaboration within the team is ensured through daily scrum meetings and progress is tracked through burn-down charts and scrum boards. A sprint culminates in a sprint demo that verifies the features developed against the acceptance criteria. A sprint retrospective conducted at the end of every sprint strives to improve the efficiency of the scrum team continuously.
Some of the key advantages of agile model are as follows:
- Iterative method of execution through intermediate releases facilitates early feedback and corrections
- Requirements are consumed sprint by sprint in small portions. This enables start of development work even before complete clarity on the entire functionality is achieved. Clarifications for features being implemented are obtained sprint by sprint.
- Requirements are managed through product backlog and implemented sprint by sprint by creating sprint backlog. Each sprint / release gives an opportunity to reprioritize the features / user stories.
- The early testing involved in the agile iterative approach unearths issues early on.
