Hello Friends,
Can you expect a better performance and comfort just by placing accessories and without upgrading the engine of your car? The answer is a resounding No! Similarly, you will not be able to get the benefit of adopting a new technology platform unless you change the execution methodology. That’s the prime reason for adopting agile. Despite adopting agile best practices, the desired result is still far away.
This failure in implementation reflects the superficial manner in which we are trying to apply Agile. Agile should not be viewed just as a project management technique or a SDLC Methodology, but also as a collection of best practices that should essentially touch every aspect of the development lifecycle. This will result in Optimized Agile Development.
Business Analysis in Agile is transformed well by replacing SRS / BRD with Product Backlog. Similarly, testing is also considered an integral part of the daily development activity in Agile. Ever wondered about Design and Coding? There are a few discussions around Agile Architecture, Technical Debt, Test Driven Development, Behavioral Driven Development, but what are the guidelines which developers need to follow while writing the code?
To align to this change, our development model should change from Structured System Analysis and Design (SSAD) to Object Oriented Analysis to Design (OOAD) to Service Oriented Analysis and Design (SOAD).
Follow “High Degree of Cohesion Less Degree of Coupling” – All related tasks to be put in one module and there should not be more than three parameters passed from one module to another.
Move beyond OOPs concepts, adopt SOLID Principles and follow Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). Below are the SOLID Principles, which help developers to eliminate design smells and build the best design.
At Hexaware, we have Brainbox, which is a repository of crowd sourced ideas that should be your go to resource, to find solutions to leverage your capabilities in agile better.
Once you adopt Agile, primarily you have started to follow Scrum (Ceremonies, Roles and Artifacts), but that’s not the only thing to do. Take a next step to improve Engineering Practices by adopting eXtream Programing Practices, align to Lean principles this will truly lead towards Digital Agile Transformation.
