Agile Approaches for Delivering Business Value

Background

Agile software methodologies, such as Scrum, XP, DSDM Atern, Lean - are maturing and proponents claim they deliver value to organisations and end users faster and with higher quality. The agile approach focuses on delivering business value early in the project lifetime and being able to incorporate emergent requirements, and thus aims to avoid the massive traditional rates of attrition in software projects.

Agile accentuates the use of rich, informal communication channels and frequent delivery of running, tested systems, while attending to the human component of software development.

In Agile, testing the software becomes an early part of the development cycle and helps clarify requirements, improve design and speed up overall delivery. The collaborative approach helps to ensure that the business team is involved at all stages so that the inevitable requirements churn does not present a crisis.
