Increasing team efficiency through Agile Adoption
Agile adoption makes sure that efficiency of the team is increased.There is a marked shift from the waterfall model which makes sure that the people are more focussed on the execution and breaking large projects into smaller units.
The agile is derived from lean manufacturing techniques where efforts are being made to avoid wastage which could be in the form of features added which are not required or the efforts people put on these features.
The focus of Agile is more adoption than on assimilation which means less efforts are put on research.The coding methodologies changes, the refactoring definition changes.Under Waterfall, the refactoring means more focus on the algorithmic changes , however, the focus in Agile changes into changes in the structure of code.
Business use cases are converted into product backlog which are further converted into use stories.
Teams are formed based on the either components or the features to be implemented.
This increases team utility or the productivity.
Pair programming techniques make sure that 2 people are put together to code which make sure better codes.
Developers make sure that the test driven methodology is followed which means before writing the code tests are written.
Agile prefers on the geological colocated teams to increase the efficiency.
