28. Benefits Of Agile Development_____________________________________________________
Google uses it. Microsoft uses it. It’s considered the best methodology for web 2.0 tools
like Twitter and Facebook.
1. Faster ROI
The trick to achieving faster ROI is simple. Build a functional product across iterations,
get it out to market early with limited features, continue adding features and then
launch the fully functional version.
• Development starts early
• A functional ‘ready to market’ product after few iterations
2. Lower Risk
Agile ranks very highly on risk mitigation scale. Since iterations are short, the market risk
is reduced. A beta version released early in an agile project is a great way to tap the
potential market for a product. Feedback from prospect customers can help evolve the
product and lowers risk of the product failing to match client expectations.
• Client gets early access to product during the life cycle
• Greater flexibility for accommodating Change Requests
• Early Cancellations hurt less
29. Benefits Of Agile Development_____________________________________________________
3. Lower Defect Density
Since the testing is frequent and starts early in the project, most bugs are caught during
the test iterations. Agile’s “test driven development” approach ensures a high quality
product with minimal bugs.
• Showstopper/ Critical bugs are caught early in the project
• Stories are considered incomplete till they have critical zero defects
• Test Automation gets higher productivity for testing team
4. More Transparency & Better Visibility
Agile manta promotes greater transparency amongst stakeholders in the interest of the
project. Each stakeholder has a better visibility even when the product is shaping up.
• Agile imparts better visibility and a greater sense of ownership to all
stakeholders
• Encourages Close coordination and build mutual trust amongst stakeholders
• Brings all stakeholders on the ‘same page’ in terms of project progress and
expectations.
