What is an Agile Process?
Agile development is an integral part of software development which believes in chunking down the steps and then building a product rather than completely building and then refining it. Agile divide the whole process into more manageable units of user functionality and distributes them over two-week periods that we refer to as Sprints. In every 2 weeks sprint there are certain tasks that are taken up to build and at the end of 2 weeks testing and production happen along with that new sprint planning is done.
After including design as a part of the Agile Development Cycle, it includes the following steps:
1. Plan
To start with a two-week-long sprint, planning is done prior to the actual sprint. Proper documentation and PRDs are created to get started with the work. A list of prioritized tasks is taken up to be built and reviewed.
2. Design
Before starting coding, designs should be kept ready, so sprint starts with designing the solution to be able to code. It is a good practice to keep the design sprint always prior to the actual development sprint. This allows them to openly think and produce the best solution. Once designs are ready they are handed over to developers to get started with coding.
3. Code
After getting the designs and all the assets, it is now time to get the coding done. Prototypes are created which are tested and reviewed before making things live in the production call.
4. Test
QA comes into the picture after the development is done. To report any bugs or changes from the design during the design sign-off. All the functionality is tested and if any changes are reported again coding is done and set for review.
5. Review
Once QA gets good to go from all teams like design, product, and clearance from engineers. Things are set up to go live.
What is Agile UX – A Complete Guide For Beginners
There has been a lot of buzz about Agile and Lean UX. Knowing about each one is equally important as starting with either one of these approaches. Both the terms “Lean” and “Agile” are described to show the approach a company follows toward solving a problem. Depending upon individual, team, or organization level preference both of these approaches are being used.
