Top Advantages of Agile Development

Agile is used widely in software development for several purposes and benefits that reduce the stress from the heads of professionals. Since the Agile Manifesto came out in 2001, Agile has been shaping up several businesses with its increasing demand among product managers and its enormous benefits. Like any other software development tool, it has some disadvantages too. Let’s have a look at both:

Advantages

  • Agile project management focuses mainly on the project execution that results in better product quality. The professionals using Agile methodology in their process can also involve their clients and they can make changes in the process as they like. This combination definitely comes up with an excellent final product.
  • With the use of Agile Fundamentals, the delivery of the final product is predicted earlier which is accurate too. The cost and the total time invested in the process can also be easily predicted using Agile development.
  • With clients involved in the whole process, there is a chance of getting feedback before, during, or after the process. It offers better transparency between the firm and the client.
  • It is believed that any project using Agile transformation can never fail. Agile works in small prints and hence the chance of risk is very limited. If a possibility still exists, the part salvaged can be used in the future without harming the execution of the final product.
  • Agile development allows the project managers to manage the process more effectively. They can create smaller iterations and can review the backlog of the features.
  • During the process, each person’s subject matter expertise is required and it offers various benefits. It creates a collaborative environment too as all of the professionals and the clients are pitching up ideas in the project to make it more successful.
  • Agile development allows you to monitor the product from the time it gets started till it reaches the final stage. It is also beneficial if you're willing to make any changes in between.
  • Agile development allows you to focus on the important features and items that can help in the rapid integration of your business.

Disadvantages

  • While working with an Agile development process, you'll feel a lack of emphasis in the whole process of designing and documentation.
  • There's a chance that the customer can take the project off in between in the process if he/she is not satisfied with the progress without even reaching the final stage.
  • No newcomers or novice professionals are welcomed while working with Agile, only the experienced managers or senior programmers can only work with it.
