Agile methodology: what it is and how to apply it to your project


 

The agile methodology is used to manage and develop projects within a company.

In general, the projects developed in companies are associated with certain difficulties that require additional working time, which can burden all the employees involved.

Discouragement can often cause projects to fail or create an uncomfortable atmosphere in the team. Employees may think they don't have the appropriate skills to do this, but deep down, as with almost all things, the method fails.

As with any other complex life situation, it is necessary to apply a set of parameters and an appropriate methodology based on principles studied and put to the test.

Customer satisfaction comes first, but the well-being of the employee is also taken into account. The agile methodology is a matter of the team and even the entire organization.

What is the agile methodology?

Agile working is about learning from others (including customers). They work in short phases of 1 to 2 weeks, during which small tasks are completed that can be done in a simple way.

In this way, script changes that arise during the development of the project can be easily adapted.

The customer is continuously asked for feedback so as not to have the entire project finished and to have to make the changes at the end. In this way, adjustments are made in the course of the work and everyone involved feels actively involved.

Characteristics of the agile methodology

Manager roll

Since projects are carried out horizontally and in collaboration with clients, we can say that there is no real manager as such. Each person or team deals with a plot and is autonomous in its implementation.

Diverse teams

The teams that are formed to develop the work are multidisciplinary and transversal teams that can work in their field of expertise and also have knowledge of other topics in which they can help other teams.

Agile and efficient development

By constantly evaluating the work and obtaining internal and customer feedback, the way of working is very dynamic and there is no risk of getting stuck. Problems are resolved comprehensively and in agreement with all parties.

Reflections on digitization

Image
  Digit, according to the first meaning, is relative to the fingers. The second definition refers to the digit numbers. Interesting dichotomy. The fingers, the pure expression of touching and physical contact versus digit numbers, the minimum expression of programming languages. We are in the  digital revolution , the digital era, the digital signature, digital printing, digitalization of companies, digital media, the digital thermometer … Everything is digital and it’s here to stay and enhance our working and social life. Well, this dichotomy occurs in everything. Digital friends we text via our mobile phone, sending digital loved ones emoticons and digital clients are the ones we communicate with without the need for paper documents working towards the paperless office. All this, taking into account that, in this digital world, everything is becoming virtual and the need to embrace is becoming a prerequisite to moving your business forward. Digital advice? In this digital world where
