Overview
Agile is here to stay. With its emphasis on lightweight processes, high-quality deliverables, flexibility in dealing with changing business priorities, short delivery cycles, higher team morale, and a whole host of other benefits, agile development offers a fresh approach to businesses seeking greater agility in their software engineering processes.
Agile over traditional practices brings in significant value; however our experience indicates that it is no silver bullet for all ills of enterprise application development. Agile practices are developed based on several fundamental assumptions about the environment within which the project is executed. In the right context, all promises of agile come alive; in the wrong context agile can add significant risks to the successful delivery of an engagement. Especially in a global delivery environment, careful consideration of risk factors helps you avoid potential significant failures.
