Lean software development

Both Intersection of Agile and Waterfall and Embracing Agile discuss how Agile is adaptive and works in sprints. It is noted that Agile has a “lean development method” Grech, T. (2015, August) where “change is necessary” Rigby, D. K., Sutherland, J., & Takeuchi, H. (2016, May). Agile is a methodology where “all of the work is equally critical” Grech, T.

These notwithstanding, there are many disadvantages bewildering the use of Computer- Assisted- Instruction. 1. It is expensive. It involves the use of computers and programmed instruction. Most of these are to be imported. The cost is much and the country may not be able to afford it. 2. There are few trained personnel i.e. teachers and programmers in the use of the technique in the country now. Thus, we cannot boast of programmes which will match our needs in the country. 3. CAI may generate…

The lack of regular communication with the customer is a hindrance on the quality of product that IT delivers, and needs to change. There have been several instances in the past where miscommunication throughout the SDLC process led to issues in the production environment of our systems, which is not something to be taken lightly in the insurance…

In an agile approach, intense interactivity between developers and individual users is required. Agile system development is unique as it is adaptable to the project at hand and every project is handled differently. Using the agile method allows for many trial runs of the product which in turn helps the finished product be more successful. Since the product…
