Agile software development
- 1. Agile Software Development Team workshop on July 11th
- 2. Todayâs theme In this workshop, I will introduce the basic knowledge of the agile software development and would like to discuss with you about the applicability of the agile software development to our team.

- 4. What does âagileâ mean? Agile software development is one of the software development methods. The main feature is to break tasks into small increments (iterations, typically 1-4 weeks) and release new functions in each iteration, which minimize risks and adopt to changes quickly.

- 5. Manifesto for Agile Software Development In 2001, 17 Gurus of Agile development discussed and issued the manifesto below. Agile development prioritizes practical benefit from software than strict rules and documentation. We are uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and helping others do it. Through this work we have come to value: Individuals and interactions over processes and tools Working software over comprehensive documentation Customer collaboration over contract negotiation Responding to change over following a plan That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more.

- 6. Agile development practices Based on practical experiments, agile developments have many practices which can be adopted individually. Planning Poker Pair Program ming Test Automa tion Refactor ing Test Driven Develop ment (TDD) Continu ous Integ ration Two members work together to develop or test programs at one PC. This practice can improve quality and decrease dependencies on individual skills. Automation of (especially regression) testing derives less time-consuming works and consistent quality of systems. The benefit of automation will be amplified by adopting refactoring and TDD. Restructure existing program logic without changing its behavior. This improves maintainability of applications, that is, low impact analysis and CR efforts. Build a test script first, being consistent with requirements. After that, to pass that test, build a actual program logic. This style let developers imagine how the functionality is used by users. Merge all development works (application logics, table structure etc.) with a shared mainline several times a day. Team can avoid or minimize integration problem. A technique of estimation. Members shows numbered cards with relative size of estimated effort, not with absolute size. With the result, discussion will be held to make a consensus.
- 7. Agile development tools There are many tools which encourage productivity of system developments, not only in the context of agile, but also DevOps.

- 8. Suitable situation to adopt agile model It is suitable for a small and proficient team combating many changes to adopt Agile model. How do you think which model to be taken for our team? ïŒ Low criticality system ïŒ More senior developers than juniors ïŒ Requirements change often ïŒ Small number of developers (around 10) ïŒ Culture that responds to change ïŒ High criticality system ïŒ More junior developers than seniors ïŒ Requirements do not change often ïŒ Large number of developers ïŒ Culture that demands order Agile model will suit Waterfall model will suit
- 9. Message Modernize, Industrialize, Digitalize! ïœ Reduce manual operations ïœ Reduce EXCEL management & documentation ïœ Enjoy new technologies & frameworks
