 Principles of Agile manifesto
• Satisfy the customer through early and continuous
delivery of valuable software
• Welcomes changing requirements,even late in
development
• Deliver working software frequently,from a couple of
weeks to couple of months.
• Business people and developers must work together
daily throughout the project.
• Face to Face conversation with Team members.
• At regular intervals,team reflects on how to become
more effective, turns and adjusts its behavior accordingly
Phase -1 - Design Workshop
•Client requirement stacked in Caliber and NIT Decides which ones to be
developed in Agile – GS Lead co-ordinates it.
•Defined and Documented Customer Requirements
•Project Manager ensures that Project Plan aligns with Agile Dev: Process
•Domain Experts, Solution, NIT Team, Development Lead, QA and Test
Leads have been identified
•A stable Network Design.

Aim – Workshop members collocated in the same

room brainstorms on the design and prepares first
draft of Config guides – in the form of Visio’s.

During the Scoping stage, if it is found there is a technical or architectural

dependency of any other DN for the development of this DN, a decision
should be taken immediately by the PM to take this out of Agile development.
Quality Gate -1 - Design

The Workshop concluded with all members

Each Document owner to guaranty that their
collocated in a room and offshore participated
document is up-to-date during each QG’s

 To implement Agile process..
• The culture of the organization must be
supportive of negotiation.
• People must be trusted.
• Fewer but more competent people.
• Organizations must live with the decisions
developers make.
• Need to have an environment that facilities
rapid communication b/w team members.
