Why I emphasize the importance of agile principle in every company
Whether you work in a company or build an agency, agile is a way to organize the workflow in your organization. Imagine, agile is like the foundation of the house. Without that, what would the house be?
Why I mention agile?
If you don’t know agile, it is a method to help companies finish their projects effectively. Agile is not the first method introduced as a part of software methodology. The first one was the waterfall approach. On the one hand, the waterfall technique is more structured. But on the other hand, it creates a problem because there is no ability to iterate or modify.
Agile has a new way of solving what the waterfall process can’t.
Get feedback constantly
With agile, teams don’t need to wait until the end of the product development process to get feedback. They will get daily feedback, so everyone knows if they are still on track or if they need to reiterate and make changes.
Because of feedback, we can fix it quickly
If everything is scattered around, we will never have a chance to go back again and fix it. Time is ticking. With the agile method, everyone can make sure that the error in the specific process can be identified quickly and fix it if possible.
Everyone knows what to do
With the agile method, each member will have more distributed tasks. For example, developers can focus on working on the bug of the software while the product manager focuses on the business workflow and the UX system.
Agile produces higher results and reduces the cost
Every business owners care about the results. With the agile method, we can create a smooth experience of the workflow, and based on the article from infoq.com, agile has the potential to generate better ROI (Return on Investment).
ROI calculates how well the performance of investments is. In simple terms, ROI helps us understanding which strategies are working and which can be improved.
Agile eases the adaptation process
We understand that during the product development process, there might be a change in customers or the team’s progress. The changes are continuously updated in the project tracking software (e.g., Jira or Trello). The team must be ready for the constant changes to implement new systems.
