Is Agile Really The Way Forward Or Just A Cultural Industry Change?

For a long time, agile was considered as a set of management practices relevant only to the software development industry. This was considered so as the original document the “Agile Manifesto for Software Development” was written by software developers. However, this methodology is now spreading to all types of organizations after being recognized by McKinsey & Company, Harvard Business Review and the 2015 learning consortium Project in 2016.

What is Agile?

It is a methodology which uses an iterative and incremental approach to product development. This allows the development teams to tackle the unpredictability of the development process.

This methodology adopts iterative and incremental work sequences which are known as sprints. A sprint is a time period given for a particular phase of the project to be completed.

It revolves around the concepts of adaptive planning, early delivery and continuous improvement. This enables the teams to adapt to the changing or increasing requirements and any feedback from the client.

By using this methodology, the customer is updated on a regular basis about the tasks being performed and they know in real time if the development is on schedule.
