Another way to discuss iterative, incremental delivery is to generalize the product by depicting it as a simple hexagon. The image below shows an individual trying to deliver a hexagon in one deliverable. The second part of the image shows an individual using incremental delivery to deliver a hexagon.
Each of the smaller deliveries is a complete, usable hexagon. The strength of this example is that it is easy to understand, and it clearly demonstrates the concept of delivering value in smaller pieces.
It also speaks to the idea of providing end-to-end functionality because the deliveries are small hexagons. The weakness of this example is that some individuals may not understand the message of the small hexagons being end-to-end deliveries because of how they are stacked in the image. I often use this explanation in my classes because it is similar to an actual product that I have worked on with an Agile team.
This real-world example compares a team delivering value using an iterative, incremental approach to a team using a traditional method. The goal in this example is to produce an online application form.
The strengths of this example are that it is realistic, and it shows how work that solves a real business problem can be cut differently to allow iterative, incremental delivery. Because we have all used online forms at one point or another, even those not familiar with software development, can understand the value of developing them this way.
This is one of my favorite examples because it clearly shows how Agile frameworks deliver work differently than waterfall frameworks. In this example, the goal is to deliver transportation to the customer. However, using an iterative, incremental process, the customer receives value along the way to developing a car. Critics have pointed out that the weaknesses of this analog is that the product is not consistent, that a skateboard is not part of the same industry as a car.
Additionally, the example is not exactly realistic although it is much more realistic than a mile-long peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Do any of them hit the mark? Please share your thoughts in the comments below.
Scrum, on the other hand is the type of agile approach that is used in software development. Agile is the practice and Scrum is the process to following this practice same as eXtreme Programming XP and Kanban are the alternative process to following Agile development practice. Waterfall methodology is a sequential design process.
This means that as each of the eight stages conception, initiation, analysis, design, construction, testing, implementation, and maintenance are completed, the developers move on to the next step. Instead of a sequential design process, the Agile methodology follows an incremental approach. Developers start off with a simplistic project design, and then begin to work on small modules.
The work on these modules is done in weekly or monthly sprints, and at the end of each sprint, project priorities are evaluated and tests are run. These sprints allow for bugs to be discovered, and customer feedback to be incorporated into the design before the next sprint is run. The process, with its lack of initial design and steps, is often criticized for its collaborative nature that focuses on principles rather than process.
IID emphasizes iterative development more on construction phases actual coding and incremental deliveries. It wouldn't emphasize more on Requirements Analysis Inception and Design Elaboration being handled in the iterations itself. So, Iteration here is not a 'mini project by itself'.
So, Sprint here is a 'mini project by itself' bettering a pure IID model. So, iterations implemented in Agile way are, yes, theoretically Sprints highlighting the size of the iterations being small and deliveries being quick. Trending now. They are incremental because completed work is delivered throughout the project. Visual Paradigm provides a rich set of agile tools that help project teams plan and manage their projects.
User story mapping provides a visually structured approach for scrum teams to manage the product backlog. The visual story map enables the arrangement of product backbone, user tasks, epics, and user stories effectively into a manageable top-down structure, based on the nature, priority, and level of sophistication of map items. Seamlessly navigate the entire scrum process in a single, beautifully designed scrum process canvas.
Perform scrum activities quickly, easily and seamlessly. Keep the whole team fully engaged. The Scrum Process Canvas makes agile projects simple and effective. Large-Scale Scrum Canvas is a scrum tool built for every scrum team to plan, track and manage scrum projects through an intuitive visual canvas. Whether your software project involves a single team or multiple teams around the world, we keep everyone on the same page, the same canvas. Nexus Canvas is a map of actionable Nexus work items.
