Agile Software Development: What is it and why should we embrace the approach?


In the ever-changing digital world of software development, traditional methodologies often fall short of meeting the demands of modern businesses and customers. This is where agile software development comes in. 

Offering a flexible and iterative approach that is becoming increasingly popular with industry leaders, Agile Software Development is key to staying ahead of the curve. The approach also allows businesses and clients to collaborate on a larger scale. 

Wondering what Agile Software Development is all about? In this blog, we will delve into the methodology to understand why embracing this approach is essential in today’s software development landscape.

What is Agile Software Development? 

Agile Software Development is a collaborative and customer-centred approach, prioritising flexibility, adaptability, and continuous improvement. The approach enables software development teams to cut waste and work more effectively – ultimately benefiting the customer.

Agile is not just about adopting a methodology, but also embracing a mindset. 

Creativity, adaptability, and collaboration are all principles behind what makes Agile Software Development a proven success.

Unlike traditional methods that follow linear and rigid sequence phases, agile embraces change and focuses on delivering working software in smaller continuous stages. By regularly reassessing and adjusting projects businesses can deliver a final product that closely aligns with customer needs.

What does Agile Software Development look like?

At Buzz Interactive we value our Discovery Phase. Having a series of collaborative sessions allows us to dig deeper into what our clients need and want from their projects. Our agile approach means we minimise project risk while giving clients the confidence to let us bring their vision to life.

Our collaborative approach to each project means our clients are involved every step of the way. This way we can ensure we’re all on the same page and there are no surprises. Each stage of the journey is tested thoroughly unearthing any potential issues that could surface.

Working alongside CLEAR, our agile software development process allowed us to build a database to pull their traditional admin management system into the 21st Century. Our team here at Buzz were able to create a bespoke portal to make life simpler and allow therapists to make notes & track patient details. 

What are the Benefits of Agile Software Development? 

So, what are the benefits? By adopting an agile way of working, organisations can stay competitive, enhance customer satisfaction, and drive success in the digital age.

For us at Buzz Interactive, an Agile approach means we can confirm assumptions early on. We know exactly what our clients want before we start the journey into full development and our team can regularly adjust projects based on the feedback and changing requirements. Paired with process transparency from the offset, client confidence and satisfaction are major winning factors.

Often when it comes to delivery times of projects, an an agile process results in shorter cycles. Essential features can be released sooner, providing businesses with a competitive advantage by getting their product to market faster; sometimes before the entirety of the project is finished.  

These benefits have made the agile approach to software development a preferred choice for many organisations that are looking to embrace a new mindset and business process methodology.

To conclude, Agile software development is a powerful approach for businesses looking to stay ahead of the trends. With an emphasis on customer satisfaction, project risk reduction, and collaboration – you can’t go wrong.
