Agile Project Management – Part 7

Release: In this phase, the Accepted Deliverables are delivered to the customers, and the lessons which were learned during the project development are identified, documented and internalized. Of course, the organization needs to grow in terms of delivering quality products to their customers. This is why they have to determine what they have learned and then implement such lessons during the development of future projects as a show of improvement.

The difference in Agile’s phases is that they will all happen together throughout each sprint, to deliver a small part of the software and start working in the next part for the next sprint. After each sprint, the development team will plan the next job to be done, put back into the backlog any task that couldn’t be completed previously and apply any changes that may appear down the road.

The History Of Agile

Product owners are central to the successful transformation of companies using Agile frameworks. The product owner role evolved from the traditional waterfall business analyst with notable differences. The same analytical skills are required for both roles with a strong product owner being an entrepreneur who views features as assets with a high value in the organization.

Agile project delivery principles evolved because industry leaders recognized that the linear nature of waterfall delivery created long windows of time between gathering requirements and delivering working software. Long delivery cycles were ineffective since market changes and product vision updates could not be accounted for without losing time and productivity. The traditional waterfall project delivery methods are not designed to account for immediate changes in scope or features.

Agile principles were developed in 2001 by a group of software thought leaders in an attempt to address the need to deliver rapid software for immediate use by customers. These thought leaders believed that change should be embraced. Agile was developed to deliver features in smaller, working increments to the customer.

Agile Values and Principles

Agile is based on four foundational values and 12 agile principles for delivery. The four foundational values are:

 Valuing individuals and interaction over processes and tools,
 Delivering working software versus voluminous documentation,
 Collaborating with customers versus intense contract negotiations and
 Immediately responding to change versus strict adherence to the original plan.
