ITFlux Agile model focuses on delivering solutions that are working and usable. We implement the core benefits of Agile best practices: responsiveness to business priorities, productive teams and high quality software. We implement these techniques into the large project engagements as well as small pilot projects. The model includes
Project Envisioning Phase
The project starts up with Customer meetings where the ITFlux Stakeholder and the Customer get together and build up a product backlog. The product backlog is essentially a list of features sorted in order of descending priority. During this process, ITFlux and the Customer work together to establish a shared understanding of what the customer is trying to accomplish.
Once an initial product backlog has been created, ITFlux goes over each item in the backlog and provides an estimate. Since each item in the product backlog may expand into multiple stories when it's tackled as part of a sprint, these estimates will be tested against reality in the very first phase and changes can be made for the rest of the estimates.
The Customer works with ITFlux team to provide all necessary details of all features that were achieved so far, what is working and what feature needs to be carried along. Also communication protocols and project stakeholder involvement is defined during this phase.
