Introduction ● There are quite a few reasons why Agile is catching up as the preferred development

style by web and mobile companies. Agile helps is faster development and ensures quality control on the development process.

● Here are some key advantages of agile software development

Looking for Agile teams for your business projects? ValueCoders provides expert Agile teams for all kinds of business projects.

Client Focus● The Agile method ensures that the client is constantly involved in the development process.

Showcasing to the customer, what is being built, helps in getting it approved with ease and at

each step. This leaves no room for disputes and misunderstandings. This further helps in

strengthening relationships with clients.

● This way the clients can express their requirements to the developers, more clearly.

High Motivation ● Agile teams are highly motivated and self organized to bring out better results from the development projects. The

agile methodology helps in planning for each sprint and executing it with precision in the stipulated time period. ● Issues and problems are discussed in daily scrums and this helps in a smooth development process.

Quality Of Development● The regular interaction between the client teams and agile teams helps in improved quality of

the application. Since the clients are involved in the process of development, they ensure that the results are as desired. Due to technical focus in the process of Agile development, the testing process is refined as well.

● This ensures that the quality of development is maintained all throughout.

Faster Development Process● Marketing earlier put the business at an advantage over others. The Agile approach is an

iterative one and completes one sprint at a time. ● This helps in hastening the process of development.

Reduced Risks● Since Agile is based on the incremental development model, the client and the teams know

what all is complete and done and what all has issues. This reduces the risk in the process of development.

● Since one can quickly respond to the changes in the process of development any sort of complications can be quickly resolved.

Flexible Processes● The Agile methodology makes the process of development extremely flexible.

● Since the development process responds to changes, the requirements change over time and

development process works flexibly towards adapting to the changes.

Higher Productivity● There are various processes in the Agile methodology that help achieving a higher level of

productivity in development. Quicker and larger number of milestones in the Agile process ensure that the final productivity is much higher. Each sprint and scrum is given a lot of importance thus keeping a check on the productivity of development.

● Technical questions are easily resolved in the development process making it a highly productive one. The collaborative nature of the Agile development process makes it highly productive.

Strong Estimation● One of the key ways to build effective client relationships for software development include

accuracy of estimates. Many a times software developers do-not provide proper estimates and this becomes a reason for worry for the project managers.

● Since the milestone cycles are strong, the developers can learn from the estimation mistakes in the previous sprints and give more accurate estimates for the upcoming ones.

Cost Effectiveness● Since and Agile project is time bound, it is also bound by a fixed budget. The scope and

requirements keep changing while these have to be managed within the specified budget. ● This ensures that the project is delivered on time and cost effectively.

Project Visibility● Since and Agile project is time bound, it is also bound by a fixed budget. The scope and

requirements keep changing while these have to be managed within the specified budget. ● This ensures that the project is delivered on time and cost effectively.
