Agile Processes
Increasingly dynamic requirements coupled with ever shrinking deadlines are a well known occurrence in the software industry. At Persistent, we have realized that traditional development methodologies may often lead to delivery slippages and poor quality products, as they do not factor in last minute amendments.
Persistent has successfully adopted the Agile Development Methodology for many of its customers. It not only fosters team-work and intense collaboration between the software team and business experts, but is also driven by vision and business values rather than requirements.
Adopting the Agile Development Methodology at Persistent will help you achieve the following advantages over traditional methodologies such as Waterfall:
- Global product development through strong collaboration across teams
- Reduced risks through complete visibility and accountability at each stage of the product development life-cycle
- Short (2-4 week) development cycles with quick starts
- Iterative, feature-based delivery
- A potentially shippable product at the end of the cycle
- Adaptive rather than predictive
- Use of automated build, test and quality review processes to improve quality and productivity.
Our customers have derived the following significant benefits by adopting Agile:
- Business goals and user needs aligned to product delivery
- Incremental product delivery in order of priority
- Increased team cohesion and improved communication between all participants
- Reduced costs across the whole life-cycle through process simplification.
