Agile software development is the fastest growing practice in software development and Luxoft Agile Process Consulting can help clients implement these customer focused, quality driven, and flexible practices in their organization.
The agile approach to software development is the fast growing trend in software development practices today. Agile software development emphasizes the following (as stated in the Agile Manifesto):
• Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
• Working software over comprehensive documentation
• Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
• Responding to change over following a plan
As experts in agile practices, Luxoft can help its clients to implement such agile methodologies as Scrum, eXtreme Programming, and Test Driven Development. Luxoft can also help tailor agile methodologies to better fit the client’s needs. As the first principle of the Agile Manifesto implies, one should not become a slave to any particular methodology. Through the use of agile coaches and experienced project managers, Luxoft can help the client determine which agile principles they should follow. These coaches can also show the client how to incorporate these principles into their development organization in the most efficient and non-disruptive manner. These principles include:
• Small, frequent customer deliverables
• Accommodation of changing requirements
• Multi-disciplinary teams, including customers
• Self organizing and self directing teams
• Frequent (daily if at all possible) team meetings
• Track progress with working software
• Working only on items that add customer value
• Continuous process improvement through the use of retrospectives
Luxoft will provide its clients with all the tools and expertise needed to successfully implement agile software development in their organization.
