Agile Software Development and Some tidbits...

World’s agile, effective and punctual software developers! Come; join hands to celebrate another instance of achievement. Software development industry gets the license to….well... be flexible! Join hands to celebrate the advent of Agile Software Development method. Hungry to have more of it? Here we go…

The Agile Software Development method allows software to be developed iteratively, with allowance of feedback and improvements steps, thereby, at each iteration. In the field of enterprise content management, Agile Software Development method aids in developing an appropriate assembly of authoring interface, application of metadata, workflow functionality, and content management usage. While ‘Agile’ is its initial, ‘flexibility’ perhaps suits best as the middle name of this methodology. This is because it allows development to be seen faster, changes can be readily incorporated, and problems can be caught early as well as rectified. However, like many good things in life with invariable negatives attached with, Agile development is not without its problems when it comes to content management.

Agile Development means that prototypes are developed rapidly, but by their very nature they are less polished and not as fully functional as users may expect. Multiple iterations are required till the prototype is refined. To add to it all, for users, the nature of Agile Software Development may anchorage long-term concerns of complexity, which in turn may provoke resistance towards this new methodology till it is fully explored and understood.

But then, considering the flexibility, which has always been a distant cousin to Software Development, how can one ignoring the facility of flexibility on offer from Agile? For the sticklers in the profession of software development, the requirement is of a proper analysis. Then, it’s the necessity to position Agile development correctly and make sure that users/testers are fully appreciated through the development process. At each step of the process, the necessity is to garner positive experience, assuring the successive steps and their success.

Time is to be Agile Software Developers! Time is to enjoy!

• It won’t be wrong to say that the creation and the eventual booming of the IT world is because of the USA. This can be very well understood by the downward slope in the IT sector right after the slowdown in the US economy. A software company is one of the most important elements of the IT world and they are currently suffering major setbacks after these attacks in the US and have not been able to completely recover since. The IT sector received a blow not only in the US but also elsewhere in the globe.
