SPONSORED: Agile implementation is based on iterative development which is the repetition of a process until the desired outcome is achieved.
Agile methodologies have been implemented within South African organisations for many years and one of the top findings is that when it is implemented without total buy-in from management, and when only certain aspects are implemented in a few projects, there is little chance of success occurring.
“When a team does not have the correct players, playing the same game, wanting to achieve the same goal, a successful outcome is not possible,” states Albertus Vermeulen, Bizmod Development consultant.
Agile implementation is based on iterative development which is the repetition of a process until the desired outcome is achieved. When a project is presented to a team and the desired outcomes communicated, the team splits the project into sections known as sprints. They then focus on a single sprint at a time, and only once the product owner is satisfied with the results of this sprint does the team move onto the next one.
