Agile management

[swatiraohnlu]

Agile management or agile project management is an iterative method of determining requirements for software and for delivering projects in a highly flexible and interactive manner. It requires empowered individuals from the relevant business, with supplier and customer input. Agile, however, has its disadvantages. Many believe that it doesn't scale well, hence large software projects are still being conducted in Waterfall.

Agile, however, has its disadvantages. Many believe that it doesn't scale well, hence large software projects are still being conducted in Waterfall.Additionally, since the strength and usefulness of agile are both exhibited in projects with frequent changes, it does not offer any advantage over waterfall when it comes to classical projects where requirements are nearly always constant and unknowns are rare, such as construction projects.

Agile development methodology attempts to provide many opportunities to assess the direction of a project throughout the development lifecycle. This is achieved through regular cadences of work, known as sprints or iterations, at the end of which teams must present a shippable increment of work. Thus by focusing on the repetition of abbreviated work cycles as well as the functional product they yield, agile methodology could be described as “iterative” and “incremental.” In waterfall, development teams only have one chance to get each aspect of a project right. In an agile paradigm, every aspect of development — requirements, design, etc. — is continually revisited throughout the lifecycle. When a team stops and re-evaluates the direction of a project every two weeks, there’s always time to steer it in another direction.
