Agile Methodology
Going by the term, agile denotes an active and fast process of
performing a task. It is a method that can be applied in a variety of
fields but nowadays it is gaining fame in Software development and
Project Management areas. Let’s have a look at both distinctively:
Agile Methodology in Software Development
• Agile Methodology in Software creation and development is a very
effective and preferable method in present times. Agile enables the
company to meet the software requirements of its customers in a very
short span of time.
• With this method, the company is flexible enough to handle N no. of
requirement change at any given time, and the secret recipe for this
flexibility is its working process. Agile is a iterative (repeats same process
of requirement – design – development -testing) and incremental (keeps
on adding new features and requirements during the iterative process)
model where requirements keep changing.
• In agile, a software demanded is broken into different pieces (called
sprints) and are delivered to the customer in these sprints form and
hence enabling the company to make any change desired by the
customer at any stage of development.
Agile Methodology in Project Management
• It is the same process as followed in Software Development where task
of Software Building is replaced by any kind of project or in simple
terms, to generalise the method for any field.
• It has a flexible approach to build a project. A project is divided into
mini-projects called sprints, and instead of delivering the complete
major project as a whole to the customer, the company works on
delivering the desired project in sprints on weekly or say monthly basis
(whatever suitable).
• It includes the following steps in Agile Development Cycle.

1. Sprint Backlog enlists the tasks to be completed in each
   sprint like planning, designing, execution, testing and
   development stages.
2. Product Backlog explains new features, changes in the
   existing features and several other significant
   improvements in the project.
3. Sprint includes the cycle of >>Planning >> Designing >>
   Testing >> Release >> Planning >>
4. Final Product received at the end of the whole mini-project
   deliveries.
   Principles of Agile Methodology
   • Changes required by customers at any stage can be fulfilled.
   • Releases will be very fast.
   • Aims to achieve customer satisfaction.
   • Good communication link between customers, business analyst,
   developers and test engineers.
   • Easier to adopt than traditional Waterfall Method.
   • Modification at every stage result in best quality achievement.
   • Error in a small sprint can be easily corrected instead of error in a whole
   major project
