How to Engage?

Every project is unique, and hence demands individualized attention. In addition to the key triangle of cost, time, and scope, the working model between the ‘client’ and the ‘agency’ is critical in balancing the former.

That is why we have clear and robust project execution methodologies that are fundamentally flexible and client-centric. However, before beginning any project, whether it is a basic website or a more significant software development, it is critical that we assist you in employing the ‘proper’ project execution approach.

“A project may be finished without the use of a project execution method, but its absence almost always results in its failure.”

Agile or Waterfall? The ideal procedure for you!

We employ two common project management approaches from among the many available. The Waterfall Methodology and the Agile Methodology are two approaches. Each of these approaches is best suited to a specific sort of project. Choosing the best strategy and execution approach for your project is a critical decision that our team of specialists can assist you with

//At its heart, flexibility. Staying in sync requires organisation.

Using the Waterfall Method

The waterfall methodology divides your project into linear, consecutive phases, with each step relying on the deliverables of the previous one. This strategy divides a project’s lifecycle into five stages: discovery, definition, design, development, and delivery.

To determine whether your project comes under Waterfall Project Management, consider the assumptions made about the project, project restrictions, the project aim, its business needs, and the project acceptance criteria, among other factors. If all of these variables are properly defined and measurable, the waterfall method is appropriate for your project.

Because your project will have generally specified features and functionality, a software requirement document (SRS) will be created to specify the project’s expectations and scope, which will be used until the project’s final handoff.

What if my requirements evolve?

Because each project is unique, there will inevitably be uncertainties during its execution. This could range from faulty third-party dependencies to modifications to an existing scope. By managing risks for your projects, we ensure that these uncertainties are identified and managed.

Furthermore, we take the time to plan out the many parts of a project prior to execution, but things are certain to alter over time. ‘ In a project, the only constant changes. As a result, we have a mechanism in place to manage these adjustments. We assess the impact of changes on the existing scope and calculate the associated time and cost. Finally, we ensure that the SRS document is up to date.

The Waterfall Process proceeds as planned, with a Quality Assurance Process at the conclusion to ensure that our project deliverables correspond to the predefined or changed scope of the project.

Use Cases:

The Waterfall Methodology

01
Stability
Stability
Has a very clear scope and stable set of requirements that are unlikely to change throughout the project.
02
Predictability
Predictability
Has a very clear scope and stable set of requirements that are unlikely to change throughout the project.
03
Development Ready
Development Ready
Less time to spend with the development team due to the product owner needing to focus on the business side of the venture.
04
Strict Budget
Strict Budget
Constrained budget with critical features that cannot be compromised.

Engaging with Agile SCRUM Method

Continuous Iteration. Quicker Risk Mitigation

The SCRUM methodology is an Agile project management approach that needs continuous development and testing iterations throughout the software development lifecycle process. Unlike the Waterfall paradigm, both development and testing operations are carried out concurrently.

Use Cases:

The Waterfall Methodology

When does Agile Project Execution Model Work?

  • A product necessitates iterative development and the collaboration of a multidisciplinary team.
  • A product necessitates a more rapid risk mitigation plan or a "fail-early" development method.
  • With flexible and varying needs, the quality, cost, and time for developing the product are crucial constants.

Roles in SCRUM

We have three critical scrum jobs. The product owner is the person who came up with the idea for the product, the scrum master is the person who ensures the team members follow the agile principles and values, and the team members themselves are ideally a team of seven cross-functional people.

Deliverables in Agile Method

01
Product Backlog
Product Backlog
This is generally in the form of user stories. It is prepared by the product owner. It is here the product clients vision for the product is drafted.
02
Release Backlog
Release Backlog
The release backlog is prepared by the SCRUM master who takes the product backlog as input, and translates it into a list of tasks that would be released intermittently.
03
Sprint Backlog
Sprint Backlog
This is prepared in collaboration with the team. Here, the release backlog is taken and divided into sprints of one or two weeks.
04
Defect Backlog
Defect Backlog
The defect backlog contains a list of defects identified during the one to two weeks sprint. These defects are dealt with immediately which is necessary for a project to be declared complete.

Agile Meetings

We have three critical scrum jobs. The product owner is the person who came up with the idea for the product, the scrum master is the person who ensures the team members follow the agile principles and values, and the team members themselves are ideally a team of seven cross-functional people.

01
Short Team Goals
Short Team Goals
Clear short-term milestones and periodic reviews of the progress.
02
Iterative Development
Iterative Development
More time to spend with the development team by sharing clear objectives and goals so that they are always in sync with the project manager.
03
Feature Inspection
Feature Inspection
Multiple iterations of a given feature and fine-tuning of the feature by inspecting all the parts.
04
Sprint Planning
Sprint Planning
The client requires early and frequent opportunities to look at the product and make decisions and changes to the project.
05
Continuous Reviews
Continuous Reviews
Make regressive iterations in the testing phase is required.

Agile works best with projects that have a high level of uncertainty

Waterfall works best for projects with high value and certainty.

In the field of project management, Agile and Waterfall are two opposing schools of thinking. The best project execution process, whether Waterfall or Agile, is determined by the context of your project. As we often say, each project is unique and necessitates a different approach.

Contrary to popular assumption, the Agile approach does not work for all sorts of projects. For example, suppose you operate a successful grocery business and wish to expand. You don’t require a ‘Agile’ approach to project management. It would just be a waste of scarce resources. We assist our clients in determining whether they require an Agile approach based on the level of uncertainty, value proposition, and operational, and value risks involved.

Similarly, the Waterfall technique, sometimes known as the “conventional” style of project management, is employed for higher “quality” standards due to tight documentation and “assembly line” production elements. That’s not exactly correct, because ‘Quality’ is context-dependent. Quality can be built into Agile projects in the same way that it can be built into Waterfall ones. Waterfall projects can also have poor quality, much like Agile initiatives.
