food delivery, and a variety of services.

Both public and private sector businesses are using mobile apps.
Hence, it makes sense to focus your efforts on developing an app. The possibilities are endless and, if you do this right, your app can be very profitable.

But how to do this properly? There will be hundreds of competitors out there trying to create top-notch software.

If you want your product to be unique there are some things to consider :

The Future of Teamwork

The Agile Manifesto

As an Agile – focused team we value the following :

  • Interaction and individuals over tools and processes.
  • Working software over extensive documentation.
  • Customer collaboration over negotiation.
  • Fast responses to change over following an established plan.

‘Agile’ is a term that describes a set of methodologies to reach certain goals. Its principles are set out above. Due to the success of these methods, many large companies have adopted them. There is proof that Agile approaches achieve a faster launch-to -market time.

It ensures high product quality with fewer expenses. Further, it saves the project owner lots of time and effort.

The Agile approach acknowledges the fact that products are always evolving. It offers the necessary framework to make this possible, hence its popularity.

In this context, teams apply a set of tools, skills, and techniques to complete the milestones. This process occurs in short project cycles, allowing better control over the results. It also allows teams to spot errors before they become serious issues.

One of the reasons for Agile’s success is its unique approach founded on collaboration. Achieving the highest product quality is possible with the help of end-users, managers, and experts.

Agile Approach vs -
Traditional Methods (Waterfall)

In traditional project management methods like the Waterfall approach, the manager is responsible for everything. This includes budget, recruiting, quality, risk assessment, monitoring, reporting, and adapting to changes.

The Waterfall method is linear and less flexible. It breaks down the process into different stages. You have to complete each step before moving on to the next one. This makes it impractical when it comes to quality control and error fixing.

If a bug appears along the way, the process suffers a setback. You’ll have to go back to previously completed stages for revision and amendments. This means undoing what was already done.

Agile management was born in response to this lack of flexibility. It consists of incremental progress where all aspects are considered. It allows you to make any necessary changes and improvements over a functioning base. Feedback and collaboration are key. Agile methods have proven to be more efficient in responding to market shifts.

- Why choose an Agile methodology -
over a traditional one?

High
Adaptability

By establishing priorities and iterating the process, changes are easier to implement. This is an advantage considering today’s ever-changing market.

More
Predictability

Agile systems use fixed schedules and tight delivery terms. This makes it easy to estimate and administrate budgets. It also helps prioritize objectives.

Focus on
Efficiency

The small units within the project are very useful. They are objective-oriented and allow for more control and better response to error.

Based on
Collaboration

The owners, managers, and team members share responsibility and collaborate to achieve goals. This is the opposite of a waterfall approach where responsibility falls on one person.

User -
Oriented

Agile projects have a quick MVP and time-to-market. This allows the team to change strategies based on real user feedback.

Improvement
and Continuity

Even after the product is ready and scaled, the team continues to make improvements. This means enhancing and maintaining the product.

How are Scrum
teams formed?

Scrum is a methodology based on Agile principles. For it to work well, it needs three key players :

PRODUCT OWNER

This is the person responsible for the product’s quality. They ensure that the best outcome is derived from the development team’s work. Their main focus is to establish the best way to achieve goals.

SCRUM MASTER

This manager optimizes the workflow by implementing Agile principles. This includes finding and applying the right tools and ensuring a smooth process. Promoting communication is one of their main tasks.

DEVELOPMENT TEAM

This is a cross-functional team. The members are equally responsible for the organization and performance of the unit. They are the ones who take the owner’s idea and make it a reality.
