Agile methodology is an approach to project management, typically used in any industry where new ideas are developed. It comes in two main flavours which we take aspects from: XP (eXtreme Programming) and Scrum.
In speaking about the benefits of using Agile, it is worth comparing it with this approach. Projects developed using agile methodology provide clients with the greatest risk reduction and user satisfaction of any combination of methodologies and commercial terms available in the market today.
In traditional software projects, much time is spent on building requirement documents and the application is then built on top of this plan. If requirements are left out of the start up phase they are generally picked up late in the process, by which point they may be awkward and costly to implement.
Agile methodology acknowledges that the most useful features of an application are often only discovered by using what already exists, and thus delivers working software to the client at regular intervals.
Within each project iteration IT House works closely with client teams to re-prioritize the list of unimplemented features based on business value to insure that only the highest value application functions are being developed. As a result these projects often achieve their business objectives more rapidly than projects managed using traditional methodologies.
This approach encourages greater collaboration and ownership of key stakeholders and removes unwanted layers of inefficiency. It also provides project managers visibility of the development cycle without over loading on information.
