The fundamentals of agile software development address the improvement and management of software development practices within individual teams. They can support the earlier and quicker production of the code by dividing the product into small segments called iterations. The agile methods are well known for their focus on quality and higher morale of stakeholders. The agile software development improves the product usability when it is leveraged with the practice of frequently testing the user screens that is being developed by the agile team. The user experience designs, their needs and goals were monitored frequently when a technique such as scrum is being adopted. This paper contains a case study to empirically illustrate quality of a product by the usage and the adoption of the scrum technique with the experiences of the user team and the project team on a live software project. It also narrates how effective is the Agile methodology in handling the unstable or changing requirements throughout the software development life cycle.

Abstract


The fundamentals of agile software development address the improvement and management of software development practices within individual teams. They can support the earlier and quicker production of the code by dividing the product into small segments called iterations. The agile methods are well known for their focus on quality and higher morale of stakeholders. The agile software development improves the product usability when it is leveraged with the practice of frequently testing the user screens that is being developed by the agile team. The user experience designs, their needs and goals were monitored frequently when a technique such as scrum is being adopted. This paper contains a case study to empirically illustrate quality of a product by the usage and the adoption of the scrum technique with the experiences of the user team and the project team on a live software project. It also narrates how effective is the Agile methodology in handling the unstable or changing requirements throughout the software development life cycle.
