AGILE METHODOLOGY — BENEFITS, BEST PRACTISE

Advantages of the agile methodology
The process delivers exactly what the customer wants, when the customer wants it.

• Speed
  With the agile methodology, speed is one of the biggest advantages. The software development lifecycle can be completed quickly, resulting in less time between payment and being paid, which in turn leads to a more profitable business.
• Higher customer satisfaction
  Customers do not wait months for their product. They get exactly what they want very quickly. Through this system, customer changes can be integrated quickly.
• Appreciation of the employees
  By appreciating the ideas of the employees, they work more productively. The agile methodology respects and trusts employees. They are in control and can independently solve the obstacles that arise every day. Employees can respond to challenges and thus better achieve their goals.
• Rework is no longer necessary
  Because the customer is involved at all times (from requirements to delivery), the project is always adapted to the customer’s needs. So less time passes from completion of the task to customer feedback.

best practice

• Set priorities
  The Product Backlog lists the prioritized tasks, it is managed by the Product Owner
• Schedule release times
  Every two to four weeks the stakeholder should give feedback before proceeding further.
• Use test-driven development
  As a result, employees are more committed because testing, rather than a nuisance, is turned into a challenge.
• User stories
  The purpose of a user story is to write a simple description of a requirement. In this way one can get an idea of the type of users of the product and take wishes into account. This format can be used for example: As [Role] I want [Feature], because [Reason].
