Benefits
Of Running Odoo Project in Agile method

What is Agile
In a Sentence
Agile software methodologies value:
● Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
● Working software over comprehensive documentation
● Customer collaboration over contract negociation
● Responding to change over following a plan
“ That is, while there is a value in the items on the right,
we value the items on the left more ”

Benefits
Better product quality:
Agile methods have excellent safeguards to make sure that quality is as high as possible by
● Taking a proactive approach to quality to prevent product problems
● Embracing technological excellence, good design, and sustainable development
● Defining and elaborating on requirements just in time so that knowledge of product features is
as relevant as possible
● Incorporating continuous integration and daily testing into the development process, allowing
the development team to address issues while they’re fresh

Benefits
Higher customer satisfaction:
Agile project teams satisfy customers by
● Keeping customers involved and engaged throughout projects.
● Having a product owner who is an expert on product requirements and customer needs.
● Keeping the product backlog updated and prioritized in order to respond quickly to change.
● Demonstrating working functionality to customers in every sprint review.
● Delivering products to market quicker and more often with every release.

Benefits
Higher team morale:
Being part of a self-managing team allows people to be creative, innovative, and acknowledged for
their expertise. Having a scrum master removes impediments and shields the development team from
external interference. Working cross-functionally allows development team members to learn new
skills and to grow by teaching others.

Benefits
Increased collaboration and ownership:
The development team, the product owner, and the scrum master work closely together on a daily
basis. Daily scrum meetings let the development team organize around work completed, future work,
and roadblocks. During sprint reviews the development team can demonstrate and discuss the
product directly with stakeholders.

Benefits
Customized team structures:
Self-management puts decisions that would normally be made by a manager or the organization into
scrum team members’ hands. Because of the limited size of development teams — five to nine
people — agile projects can have multiple scrum teams on one project. Self-management and size-
limiting mean that agile projects can provide unique opportunities to customize team structures and
work environments.

Benefits
More relevant metrics:
The metrics agile project teams use to estimate time and cost, measure project performance, and
make project decisions are often more relevant and more accurate than metrics on traditional
projects. On agile projects, you provide metrics by
● Determining project timelines and budgets based on each development team’s actual
performance and capabilities
● Using relative estimates
● Refining estimated effort, time, and cost on a
regular basis
● Updating the sprint burndown chart every day
to provide accurate metrics

Benefits
Improved performance visibility:
On agile projects, every member of the project team has the opportunity to know how the project is
going at any given time. Daily scrum meetings, sprint reviews, and visible progress charts offer
concrete ways to see progress.

Benefits
Increased project control:
The many opportunities to inspect and adapt throughout agile projects allow all members of the
project team — the development team, product owner, scrum master, and stakeholders — to
exercise control and ultimately create better products.

Benefits
Improved project predictability:
Agile project management incorporates several practices, artifacts, and tools for improved
predictability:
● Keeping sprint lengths and development team allocation the same throughout the project
allows the project team to know the exact cost for each sprint.
● Using individual development team speed allows the project team to predict timelines and
budgets for releases, the remaining product backlog, or any group of requirements.
● Using the information from daily scrum meetings, sprint burndown charts, and task boards
allows the project team to predict performance for individual sprints.

Benefits
Reduced risk:
Agile techniques virtually eliminate the chance of absolute project failure:
● Developing in sprints, ensuring a short time between initial project investment and either failing
fast or knowing that a product or an approach will work
● Always having a working product
● Developing requirements to the definition of done in each sprint
● Providing constant feedback on products and processes through daily scrum meetings and
constant development team communication, sprint reviews and retrospectives, and releases in
which the end user can see and react to new features on a regular basis

Tale of two Agile Teams
More correctly it’s one Agile Teams that splits into two
