Waterfall Development

V - Cycle

Similarities ?

• You complete one phase before moving on to the next phase
• Your rarely aim to re-visit a 'phase' one it's completed
• Your better get whatever you're doing right the first time

Issues

• You don't realize any value until the end of the project
• You leave the testing until the end
• You don't seek approval from the stakeholders until late in the day

These approaches are highly risky, often more costly and generally less efficient than Agile approaches

Agile approache

Agile, what is that ?

Not a process, it's a philosophy or set of values

The Core Beliefs of Agile (1/2)

• You cannot know everything required to build a software product at the start of project
• Customers cannot accurately tell you what they want at the start of the project; instead, they will gain clarity as the project proceeds
• You want feedback from the customer as often as possible and you want to give developers feedback on how they are doing as soon as possible
• Working code is the most accurate way of seeing the progress of the development effort

The Core Beliefs of Agile (2/2)

• Groups working together minimizes delays as well as the loss of information between people
• Moving test to the front of the development cycle improves the conversation between developers and customers and testers and, thus, improves, the quality of the code
• While management can set expectations for what work is done, management must not demande how that work is done
• Working on one project at a time improves the productivity of a team

Agile manifesto

• Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
• Working sofware over comprehensive documentation
• Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
• Responding to change over following a plan
