Agile project management

Modern projects demand flexibility and room for continuous improvement with evolving requirements. Adaptive projects which accommodate change at any stage weigh better in today’s competitive market. 

Agile project management aims to achieve this approach with:
  1. Flexible and adaptive planning 
  2. Frequent and collaborative iterations
  3. Incremental releases and faster deployment 
  4. Quick detection and resolution of issues
  5. Customer centricity and feedback management 
 
Agile also offers Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that help evaluate the team’s performance and the overall progress of the project.
 
QuoteSprints in Zoho Projects Plus, offers an agile project management software which supports Scrum and Kanban framework. While Scrum supports building projects in periodic cycle called Sprints, Kanban offers visualization and execution of tasks from a single board.  



Business Case

Idea
A mobile app development company has taken up a project to design a social media application. They are aiming for incremental release of the software with continuous improvement. The app’s requirements are not fixed and may vary with social trends. The stakeholders are also actively involved in the project and expect the implementation of their feedback in each release. For such modern and dynamic projects, the Agile project management model will be the right fit.
