However, this also requires customers to understand that they are seeing a work in progress in exchange for this added benefit of transparency. This can include prioritizing features, iteration planning and review sessions, or frequent software builds containing new features.
TransparencyĪnother benefit of Agile software development is that it provides a unique opportunity for clients or customers to be involved throughout the project. Stakeholders are encouraged to be more deeply engaged in a project since trust has been established in the team’s ability to deliver high-quality working software. This provides more opportunities for the team to truly understand the business’ vision, deliver working software early, and frequently increases stakeholders’ trust. By involving the different types of stakeholders in every step of the project, there is a high degree of collaboration between teams. Stakeholder EngagementĪn Agile process provides multiple opportunities for stakeholder and team engagement – before, during, and after each Sprint. This also provides the opportunity to beta test software after each Sprint, gaining valuable feedback early in the project and providing the ability to make changes as needed. By focusing features on the needs of real users, each feature incrementally delivers value, not just an IT component. Focus on UsersĪgile development uses user stories with business-focused acceptance criteria to define product features. By doing so, the team understands what’s most important and can deliver the features that provide the most business value to their organization. Focus on Business ValueĪnother one of the primary benefits of Agile is an increased focus on delivering strategic business value by involving business stakeholders in the development process.
Also, by producing frequent builds and conducting testing and reviews during each iteration, quality is improved by finding and fixing defects quickly and identifying expectation mismatches early.īy adopting Agile software development practices, organizations can deliver solutions on time and with a higher degree of client and customer satisfaction. By incorporating the ability to change, they are better able to incorporate feedback from demos, usability testing, and customers into the product. By breaking down the project into manageable units, the project team can focus on high-quality development, testing, and collaboration. One of the greatest benefits of an Agile framework is improved product quality.
