Agile Software Development refers to a group of customer-centric software development methodologies that promote development iterations, open collaboration, and process adaptability throughout the life-cycle of a project.

Contrary to the traditional Waterfall approach, where development is broken up into a linear sequence of production phases, Agile revisits different phases throughout the project’s life-cycle via short sprints of work.

AGILE VALUES:

Individuals and interactions over processes and tools

Working software over comprehensive documentation

Customer collaboration over contract negotiation

Responding to change over following a plan

IMQS harnesses the power of the popular Scrum approach. Agile Scrum concentrates on how to manage tasks within a team-based development environment and tackles many management obstacles that plague IT development teams.

Scrum can be considered a micro-level approach to project management. Communication facilitation and coordination are deemed far more important than planning and control. It seeks to eliminate bureaucracy and improve profitability and visibility by working in small increments with minimal planning that allow for constant adaptation in order to minimise risk.

Teams work in two-week cycles known as “sprints” or “iterations”. Stakeholders are given recurring opportunities to calibrate releases for success in the real world. At the end of each cycle a “finished” product is displayed to the user. So doing, Agile helps deal with the complexity and variability of the technology industry and assures the sustained relevance of products up until the end of the project.

Agile Tribes are an innovation particular to IMQS that evolved in relation to rapid growth. Tribes solve problems by breaking down silos. They align different development disciplines, prioritise components and break down communication barriers across teams. In doing so production is streamlined and duplication is avoided.
