The Agile deployment model consists of five different phases:
- Agile assessment framework
- Deployment planning
- Initial deployment
- Post-iteration workshop method
- Continuous improvement of organizational practices
Benefits of using Agile Development for projects:
- Cost effectiveness: Agile Model defines a collection of values, principles and practices pertaining to effective, light-weight modeling and documentation.
- It defines explicit techniques for agile projects. Agile Model addresses the issue of how agile developers model and document on software projects taking an agile approach such as extreme Programming (XP), Dynamic Systems Development Method (DSDM), or SCRUM.
- Higher Productivity: Agile teams are self-organizing, by definition, with no true leader. In this format all team members contribute and gain wider product knowledge in a shorter period, enhancing flexibility in resource deployment as well as a better understanding of the business issues that create more opportunities for innovative solutions.
- Responsiveness to Change: Agile assumes that all requirements cannot be known at the start. Shorter build periods, daily check-in and re-prioritization allows for the greater flexibility required responding to an ever-changing world.
- Better Communication, Visibility and Control: Agile demands ongoing communication between onshore and offshore teams and between development and product marketing. Rapid development cycles and daily check-in for feature and schedule refinement ensure transparency on progress.
- Higher Quality: Agile places a premium on quality – working software is the way to measure progress in Agile. The Continuous integration and regression testing results in catching bugs very early in the development cycle, resulting in quality improvement and reduced cost of quality.
