- 2. AGILE METHOD The Agile Method is a particular approach to project management that is utilized in software development. This method assists teams in responding to the unpredictability of constructing software. It uses incremental, iterative work sequences that are commonly known as sprints. A sprint is a period of time allocated for a particular phase of a project. Sprints are considered to be complete when the time period expires. There may be disagreements among the members of the team as to whether or not the development is satisfactory; however, there will be no more work on that particular phase of the project. The remaining phases of the project will continue to develop within their respective time frames.
- 3. HISTORY OF AGILE METHOD In 1970, Dr. William Royce published a paper that discussed the managing and developing of large software systems. The paper outlined his specific ideas about sequential development. His presentation stated that a project could be developed much like a product on an assembly line. Each phase of the development had to be complete before the next phase could begin. The idea required that all developers must first put together all of the requirements of a project. Many of the Agile ideas surfaced in the 1970s. Studies and reviews were conducted on the Agile Method that explains its emergence as a reaction against traditional approaches to project development.
- 4. BENEFITS OF USING THE AGILE METHOD The Agile Method grew out of the experience with the real-life projects of leading software professionals from the past. Because of this, the challenges and limitations of traditional development have been discarded. Subsequently, the Agile Method has been accepted by the industry as a better solution to project development. Nearly every software developer has used the Agile Method in some form. The Agile Method ensures that value is optimized throughout the development process. The use of iterative planning and feedback results in teams that can continuously align a delivered product that reflects the desired needs of a client. It easily adapts to changing requirements throughout the process by measuring and evaluating the status of a project. The measuring and evaluating allows accurate and early visibility into the progress of each project. It could be stated that the Agile Method helps companies build the right product. Instead of trying to market software before it is written, the Agile Method empowers teams to optimize the release during its development. This allows the product to be as competitive as possible within the marketplace. It preserves the relevance of the critical market, and it ensures that a team’s work doesn’t wind up collecting dust on a shelf. This is why the Agile Method is an attractive developmental option for stakeholders and developers alike. 1 2
- 5. AGILE SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT METHODOLOGY Agile software development is a group of software development methods based on iterative and incremental development, where requirements and solutions evolve through collaboration between self- organizing, cross-functional teams. • Methods • Iterative • Incremental It promotes adaptive planning, evolutionary development and delivery, a time-boxed iterative approach, and encourages rapid and flexible response to change. It is a conceptual framework that promotes foreseen interactions throughout the development cycle.
- 7. RAPID E-LEARNING The term “rapid e-learning” can describe the amount of time spent on developing courses, or how quickly courses can be completed. In the past, it wasn’t uncommon for authors to spend several months designing and developing e-learning content. Rapid e-learning reduces that amount of time to just weeks, or even days. For those interacting with course content, rapid e-learning makes it easier for learners to absorb information quickly and move on to the next segment.
