Purpose – Explains how companies that are seeking to implement rapid innovation can adopt the Agile software development approach. In Agile, self-organizing teams work in short cycles called “sprints” and develop the features to enable the product to continuously evolve in the light of the experience they gain and through customer feedback. Design/methodology/approach – For insight into how Agile is being implemented at a leading software services firm with clients in hundreds of industries, Strategy & Leadership asked Rob Purdie, Agile Practice Lead for the IBM Design Lab, how Agile software development methods were contributing to the success of IBM's key digital marketing initiatives. Findings – The traditional approach to software development is to define, design, develop and test everything – before delivering anything. With Agile, managers can reduce waste by prioritizing features based on relative business value, evaluating and re-designing as the project proceeds. Practical implications – Agile requires leaders and teams to work and learn through problems, designs and options in an open and transparent environment. It places new demands on technical leaders in terms of negotiation and planning skills. Originality/value – Managers outside the software industry should note that Agile/Scrum is likely to be increasingly essential to the future of product development and manufacturing. Nowadays many products for consumers and businesses include embedded software systems, so developing products in the future will require deeper collaboration across multiple engineering disciplines and marketing teams and familiarity with the Agile approach.

At Gothaer Insurance Group, a long-term program to introduce a new policy system was terminated without the desired outcomes. A new program, GoSMART, was introduced to buy a policy system instead of developing it in-house. A team responsible for modelling insurance products decided that the waterfall approach was no longer suitable for this specific task. Intrigued by the possibilities that agile software development appeared to hold, the team adopted Scrum, hoping to improve efficiency. With no other project changing the development approach, the team was left as an agile island in a waterfall environment.

Agile Software Development Approach is the buzzword for the Organizations working with Traditional Software Development Approach. Scrum is one of the most vital frameworks used when working towards Agile Software Development projects. Material Management is one of the salient processes of the Supply Chain Management in transforming inputs into outputs. Extreme Programming is more technical in nature and Scrum is a People focused Management approach. This scrum framework is customizable according to the project teams and it is adopted widely to effectively manage software projects. Scrum framework fits into the groove for delivering quality product at a faster pace with minimal continuous feature delivery at frequent intervals. The minimal Marketable feature is delivered at the end of each Sprint. A Sprint is an iterative activity which ends up at regular intervals. But, the way of customizing the process and giving a minimal feature delivery at the end of each Sprint in the projects act as a major challenge. Other challenges resulted in the team collaboration and the involvement of the team members in the project and in integrating the minimal marketable feature. Syncing with the product owner and the other stake holders, and participation in the sprint planning were some of the issues that the team faced. The success of the entire team in implementing the Agile Software Development approach in the Enterprise Resource Planning Material Management Section is discussed

Software Development Techniques

In this IT era, where there is a race of software development, it is necessary to introduce such types of software development techniques which will help the practitioners to deliver fast solutions. In the past, various traditional approaches were used for this purpose, but now agile techniques are getting more popular because conventional software development approaches are not efficient in managing the changing requirements. The agile software development process is one of the most emerging lightweight software development methodologies, which uses iterative and prototype development approaches to accommodate changes in software requirements. Final software products are delivered to the end-users in short iterations. One of the most noticeable drawbacks of agile methods is their limited courtesy to the structured and architectural design of the system. Hence this development approach will restrict small to medium design decisions only. In this paper, we have performed the analysis of different agile techniques, which will help the readers to understand their positive and negative points and select the most appropriate technique suited to their projects.
