Agile Software Development: Benefits Include Saving Money
Agile software development refers to?a group of software development methodologies based on iterative development, where requirements and solutions evolve through collaboration between self-organizing cross-functional teams.
Analysts contend that the ultimate value in Agile software development is that it enables teams to deliver value faster, with greater quality and predictability, and greater aptitude to respond to change.
Scrum and Kanban are two of the most widely used Agile methodologies.
Scrum?teams commit to completing an increment of work, which is potentially shippable, through set intervals?called sprints.?Their goal is to create learning loops to quickly gather and integrate customer feedback.
Scrum teams adopt specific?roles, create special artifacts, and hold regular ceremonies to keep things moving forward.
Kanban?is all about visualizing your work, limiting?work in progress, and maximizing efficiency (or flow).?Kanban teams focus on reducing the time a project takes (or?user story) from start to finish. They do this by using a?Kanban board?and continuously improving their flow of work.?
Agile has been proven to save organizations money. Agile projects contain 93% fewer defects, take less time to complete and reduce waste.
