Framework

Team Zora will adopt the Agile Process in their development of the Human Resource Management Web Application.

What is the Agile Process?

  • It values Individuals & Interactions over processes & tools. Self-organization and drive are important in this aspect.
  • It is more concerned over a Working Software over comprehensive documentation. The former is definitely more useful compared to the latter.
  • It involves Customer Collaboration rather than contract negotiation. Requirements cannot be fully gathered at the beginning; therefore continuous communication with client is very essential.
  • Rather than strictly following a plan, it Responds to Change.

Iteration

Each iteration is 2 weeks (14 days). The team will be working on a time-boxed iterative approach where time boxes will be allocated. The deadline for the tasks in each iteration will be strictly adhered to. In the case where a task which is initially allocated in an iteration cannot be completed within the iteration itself, the task will be rescheduled to other iterations. The following is a guideline of each iteration:

Development Phase

  • Each development phase will consist of 2-3 iterations.
  • Buffer days will be allocated at the end of every phase and before a project milestone (i.e. Acceptance, Mid-term review & Final).
  • Deployment will be done at the end of every iteration.
