Agile Development Process Benefits
Requirements
• Past Development Process - Requirements are written then developers review the final document before beginning any coding.
• Agile Development Process - The requirements are prototyped with the business and IT on a defined schedule, as often as daily, to meet changing needs.
Testing
• Past Development Process - Testing is done at the completion of the development phase.• Agile Development Process - Testing is completed as each prototype version is completed.
Training
• Past Development Process - Documentation is started at the end of the development phase.
• Agile Development Process - Documentation is created as created, and then updated as each prototype version is completed ensuring documentation is readily available.
Deployment
• Past Development Process - There is only one main release, and any problems or delays mean the release may not meet the customers expectations.
• Agile Development Process - A release is each reiteration of the prototype which means there is always a working model.
