The Agile v/s Waterfall debate is over. And agile has emerged out as the winner. The credits should be given to increasing software development challenges and customer demands.

So, now here’s another challenge. How to do agile web development that works? What are the constituents of a successful agile application development model?

What is Agile Web Development that works?

At SayOne, we use a pragmatic approach towards agile web development that lies on a foundation of solid software development experience. Our agile development is based on a lightweight ‘Scrum’ framework. Having identified the tricks and trade of agile development, we have successfully executed over 300 projects with agile in practice.

These are the four tips that have helped us to succeed with our agile web development model over the past years:

Parallel Sprint Execution

At SayOne, we follow a parallel sprint execution model. In such an accelerated sprint execution model, the productivity of the project team increases almost threefold.

Once sprint initialization is done with the environment set up and backlog creation, the first sprint gets started. As sprint 1 is in progress, a corresponding parallel sprint 1 also becomes live. In the parallel sprint, forecasting and layout of the next sprint are realized.

Also, sprint 1 will be reviewed in the corresponding parallel sprint for backlog analysis and refinement. This marks the starting point for the next sprint. The principle of ‘doing more with less (time)’ is followed devotionally for project success.

Close Collaboration

Ensuring close collaboration between the client/stakeholders and project delivery teams improves visibility and tracking. There are many ways to achieve such a collaborative working model. The methods will vary depending upon the business process type.

In onshoring and nearshoring business processes, it is fairly easy to communicate and collaborate with the clients. As they are based out of locations within close proximity, weekly meetings and progress sharing can be done directly.

However, the complications increase a notch higher in offshoring and outsourcing projects. But these days there are workarounds to combat the issues caused by diverse geographies. Understanding the time and cultural differences is the first point. Then, the project delivery teams along with the client can devise timings that would work for both of them.
