Agile Development Methodology

UKWebsitePlus has adopted the agile software development methodology as an alternate delivery process, based on response and feedback received from clients worldwide. This is a comparatively newer approach to offshore software development.

In this method, we use the evolving iterative approach to web development. In this methodology, once the preliminary requirements are clarified, a suitable project team is allocated for the project. The next step is to quickly build the prototype of the web application. From then on, it is the continuing evolution of this prototype until it become the final product, fitting exactly to the needs of the client.

Some of the key advantages of the agile development methodology are:

• Ongoing visibility of the partially completed work, and almost live releases in short time periods that could each be taken live easily and quickly if required
• Constant client and developer feedback on each evolving release. Hence, clients and developers can test and start using the partial releases of working software (prototypes) to give feedback on the direction of further development. Also, developers can advice and give their thoughts on the project software direction based on their experiences.
• The final product delivery is essentially incrementally better than the last release. Hence, no tense expectations or usuability issues are associated with it.
