2. Agile development is a tactic of software development in which the process
occurs though short increment. The phases of the development process occur
endlessly in iterative cycles, involving a requirements phase, design and
achievement, testing, and reporting. Stakeholders and designers meet after
each increment to discuss what has occurred, re-evaluate requirements and
determine priorities. This allows for better transparency between clients and
programmers and clients have greater manipulate in what is being designed
to ensure the product is what they want. The traditional waterfall method
general engages the stakeholders at the beginning requirements phase, and
then the development company takes over and designs the website. The
stakeholders or clients only see the finished product, which may or may not
be what they had in mind. There are many advantages to agile development
over the fixed models.
1) Agile development decrease the risk of client dissatisfaction
Since the stakeholders are concerned in the process the entire time, the agile
model reduces the risk that the product will not meet the needs of the client.
When the stakeholders are only concerned in the requirements phase, they
may not see that confident aspects of the design do not work or are irrelevant
to their customer base. With everyone working together and constantly re-
evaluating, the project is more likely to produce a useable product.
2) Allows for additional change and version
In the agile development method, the large, irrevocable project elements are
delayed until the last moment so as many changes as possible can be made to
make sure the project is precisely right. Changes can be made after each
increase; the designers are not stuck with one model. Agile development is
very adaptive to the changing needs of the client, the developers and the
obtainable technology. Because necessities can always change as new
software is developed, these changes can be built-in into the project instead of
making the design obsolete before it ever goes to market.
3) Work can start before all the requirements are known
Clients may not know everything they want in their complete product, but
with agile development, they do not have to wait to get started working on the
software. They can start with a basic idea and because they are integrated
throughout the development process, they can add requirements as they

3. choose what they need and based on the work that has come first. Clients can
continuously reprioritize so they have a usable product in a shorter amount of
time
4) Boost probability that a project will reach the marketplace
A large amount of development projects never make it to the marketplace for
various reasons including it was not what the client wanted, it is now
obsolete, or it is not useful. Using the agile development method, the chance
that the product will go to the market is actually much higher because the
chances that the client will endorse of and find the product useful is higher.
Also, the software developers can develop the uppermost priority designs
first, allowing the product to be used immediately, even if it is not in its
completed form.
5) Saves time and money
Stakeholders are concerned in agile development right through the process
and everyone is working together, so the chance for miscommunication and
appropriateness are smaller. This saves time by resulting in fewer mistakes
and it saves money because the project is finished faster. Once a client makes
a choice on a requirement, they can see results quickly. The client will see
results after each iteration and decide if the software meets their needs. Less
time is wasted on features that are not going to be used.
6) Works glowing with distributed teams
Agile development is a method that can work when part of a project is
outsourced, but is considerably more winning if outsourced to a team in the
same time zone. By having stable contact with the outsourced team, there will
be fewer mistakes and miscommunications. With near shore outsourcing,
the developers and outsourced team are working in the same time zone and
language. People in other countries can easily keep in contact via email, phone
and video conferencing. Agile requires more communication and more
communication results in fewer mistakes and misunderstandings.
The many advantages to agile software development can get better the
quality of work for a software development company. While there can be
some disadvantages if the client does not want to be involved in the entire
process or the team is not good at communication, these issues can be worked

4. out as the team gains experience with the process. Software development
companies are on the rise as more research shows it is a productive
technique of producing utilizable and effective software.
