 Agile– Gentle Introduction

• Iterative and Incremental Approach

• Performed in highly collaborative
manner by self organized team
• Lean Thinking

 Agile Manifestoes

• Individual interaction Over Process and Tool

• Working software Over Comprehensive
Documentation
• Customer Collaboration Over Contract
Negotiation
• Responding to Change Over Following a Plan

 Agile Software Development Cycle

08/03/09 by S. Bhalerao 5
 Some Agile Practices……

• Iterative Incremental Development

• Simple Design
• Refactoring
• Pair Programming
• Working Software
• Customer Involvement
• Open Space
• Test Driven Development
• Responding to Change

 Extreme Programming (XP)

• Exploration
– Stories
• Planning
– Prioritize Stories
• Transition to release
– Analysis-design-testing Feedback continuous integration
• Production Phase
– Small releases
• Maintenance phase
– Updated Releases
• Death phase
– Final release
THUS XP covers SDLC from Requirements to System testing

 Research Problem

• Improving Stability and Quality of Agile

Methods
• To establish that Agile methods are
disciplined and not Ad-hoc or Cow boy
coding
• Build Standardized Process Models for
each method from inception to
implementation.
08/03/09 by S. Bhalerao 8
 Research Methodology Adopted

• Review all Agile methods—Scope for

Improvement
• Interviewed Agile Practitioners---
Collected data used in actual
practice.
• Identified missing phases of SDLC in
agile methods

 Conclusion

• Proposed new phases that are

indirectly followed in methods but
not formalized.
• Inclusion of new phases increases
faith in these methods
• Provide the Stability and Quality to
Agile Methods
