Agile Classroom Training and Certification Classes

Agile management is an iterative and incremental method to manage the design and build activities for engineering, information technology and new product or service development projects in a highly flexible and interactive manner.

•  It gives flexibility to the projects so that changes can be made even after the planning is completed.
• Adding features to stay up to date with the latest industry developments is easy.
• Client feedback can be taken at the end of each sprint when project priorities are evaluated.
• Bugs can be found and removed at the end of each sprint rather than at the project end.
• Products are thoroughly tested with Agile therefore the deadlines are not likely to be missed. 

•  If the project manager is inefficient, project will become a series of code sprints and then the project will get delayed and exceed budget.
• As it allows for flexibility in initial plans, the final product can be very different from what it was intend to be. 

•  When rapid production is more important than the product quality
• When clients need to change the project scope
• When how the final product will look like is not clear
• When your developers are skilled and creative
• When the industry standards are rapidly changing

•  Active user involvement is imperative
• The team must be empowered to make decisions
• Requirements evolve but the timescale is fixed
• Capture requirements at a high level; lightweight & visual
• Develop small, incremental releases and iterate
• Focus on frequent delivery of products
• Complete each feature before moving on to the next
• Apply the 80/20 rule
• Testing is integrated throughout the project lifecycle – test early and often
• A collaborative & cooperative approach between all stakeholders is essential
