Benefits of Agile
What are Agile methodologies, and which issues they address is explained on the page Why Agile is Better than Traditional Methodologies.
Here are some more details on how Agile benefits us and how it will benefit you if you work with us.
Start as Soon as You Are Ready!
With Agile methodology you do not have to list all the fine details and requirements in the up-front specifications. Instead, you split the project into short stages and cycles also called "sprints", and prepare only general requirements necessary to start working. All the requirements details will be gathered while moving through the stages of the development process.
Time to Market
Agile methodologies are designed to reduce project's time-to-market by aligning each development milestone with your business goals. Combining XP (stands for eXtreme Programming) cycles with their measurable objectives and clear deliverables with SCRUM communication principles improves the ability of our clients to release the first version faster, dynamically respond to industry competition, and lower their total product development cost.
Transparency
With Agile stakeholders are able to see and control the progress of the application development on the daily basis, have running prototype early, sometimes as soon as at the second week of work.
Flexibility in Requirements Management
Although changes are unavoidable in most software projects, often they are desirable and sometimes just necessary. Agile methodology allows you to flexibly incorporate all the required changes during software development process, with minimum impact on the development schedule.
Moreover, use of Agile allows you to add almost any activity to the project at any time with no risk for the overall result: software localization, integration with existing or third-party software, new maintenance use-cases, and many others.
Maximize Your Projects Value
For each project our specialists will help you design and establish a process that will suite your organization and ensure that your company can be self sufficient, and guarantee the continued success of your Agile endeavor. Together, we will choose a combination of custom Agile SCRUM development principles and methodologies to guarantee your initiatives deliver maximum value.
Training For Your Staff
Agile sounds so good – you might consider start using it for your company internal purposes too. Well, it depends on what kind of business you run. Agile might not fit into banking operations or cleaners business. However, if you are in R&D or just making new products, Agile might help. We will be glad to share our knowledge and help you with staff training.
Not a Magic Wand, but Close
Some of the text above sounds overoptimistic. Agile is definitely not a magic wand – if you need a solid product, you need still to invest time and money. If you need to add features or change requirements in the middle of the project, be prepared to pay extra and postpone milestones. However, with Agile, the project will be delayed just a little bit. With previous methodologies, or no methodologies at all, you might end up with quite significant delay, or even total project failure. We use it, and we love it, because it does make sense.
