Your business and the supporting IT systems should be agile enough to accommodate the changes in your business.  The same applies to the IT system development methodology.

We strongly advocate the Agile Development Methodology for software development-in order to be more competent in a rapidly changing environment.

Agile methodology attempts to minimize the risk and maximize productivity by developing software in short iterations. It de-emphasizes the need for secondary or interim artefacts. The concept is to adopt the light-but-sufficient rules of project behaviour and to use human and communication-oriented rules. Under this broad umbrella sits many more specific approaches such as Extreme Programming, Scrum, Crystal, DSDM, Lean Development, ADM, and FDD.

Agile Development Methodology follows a simplified approach that allows developers to focus on building quality software rapidly, cost-effectively, and without burnout. The key to a successful agile migration is to drive change using key players throughout the company.

Agile Development Principles

• Iterative Development: Client feedback is used to make changes to the software specification at any stage in the development by delivering working software to the client at regular, short intervals.
• Open Collaboration: Unrestricted communication between programmers and clients.
• Adaptability: Changes to the software specification are welcome even in late stages of development.
