Abstract—Agile development methodologies and Cloud
Computing supplement each other quite well. Cloud Services
meets client prerequisites quickly, conveying applications at
whatever point and to whatever degree they are required.
This paper analyzes the Agile Management and
improvement strategies and its advantages with cloud. Joining
agile development methodologies with cloud computing brings
the smartest possible solution.
Keywords—Agile development methodologies, Cloud
Computing, Software development
I. INTRODUCTION
For traditional Project Management, the agile technique
is broadly utilized in software development to build the
nature of an undertaking just as to upgrade consumer loyalty.
Agile methodology is a way to deal with project the
executives, by and large utilized in software advancement.
Agile strategies are a reaction to the powerlessness of
conventional techniques to accept change in a violent
business climate that requests software to address its issues
rapidly.
Cloud computing is totally founded on Internet office.
Recently, Cloud computing has arrived at incredible regard
and built up a significant style in IT. Cloud computing is a
model that empowers appropriate, on-request organizing
admittance to a pool of public and configurable computing
assets that are immediately provisioned with the irrelevant
management. A cloud, in fact, is a network of computers
serving as a “service-oriented” construction to bring software
and data. The cloud research design at high speed focuses
only on newly joined customer [1].
Using agile development with respect to cloud computing
gives a profoundly intelligent and also collaborative
environment. The moment developers finalize a feature, they
can push it as a cloud service; users can analysis it instantly
and offer valuable feedback. Thus, a lengthy feedback cycle
can be eliminated, reducing the probability of misstated or
misunderstood requirements [2].
II. CLOUD COMPUTING
A. Categories of models
• IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service): Offers
virtualized resources (computation, storage, and
communication) on demand.

• PaaS (Platform as a Service): Developers create
and deploy applications and do not necessarily
need to know how many processors or how much
memory that applications will be using. Multiple
programming models and specialized services (e.g.,
data access, authentication, and payments) are
offered as building blocks to new applications. [3]
• SaaS (Software as a Service): alleviates the burden
of software maintenance for customers and
simplifies development and testing for providers.
B. Advantages of Cloud Computing
• Quick deployment, combined with less probability
of failovers.
• Optimum usage of in-house IT assets
• Easy combination with other enterprise solutions.
• No hardware and software change needed
• Customizable work environment.
• A project solution with combination is
effortlessness [3].
• Speedy and easy to use.
C. Benefits of Cloud Computing on a Company
Cloud computing alludes to the arrangement of
computational assets on request through a PC organization.
It empowers undertakings to be relegated to plan of
programming and administrations over a network. This
organization of servers is the cloud.
Cloud computing is a new influx of IT framework that
licenses organizations to run their applications on a common
information. In contrast to conventional authorized
programming, cloud innovation acquires effectiveness by
eliminating the unwieldy measures identified with
programming advancement, testing, establishment also,
failovers
III. WHY AGILE?
Agile development methodology offers various
approaches to assess the pattern of the project all through the
advancements of the lifecycle. In the event that we need any
sort of accomplishment, it requires standard work, such as
sprints. In a agile model every single perspective is for this
reason, and it is every now and again returned to all through
the lifecycle. Well executed Agile software development
methodology assists groups with improving the nature of
their product at each delivery. Not just that, it permits groups
to adjust to change rapidly. The Agile cycle comprises of
short, time-boxed iteration known as sprints. Each sprints
brings about a functioning item.

The contrast between agile development and traditional
software isn't irrelevant and code situated. Some important
methods are listed.[5]
A. Extreme Programming (XP)
Extreme programming (XP) is programming that helps
agile, lightweight software development It got famous during
the current age. XP gives a rundown of clear, distinct and
unpractised highlights and focuses that lead to software
improvement techniques.
Like other Agile Methods of development, Extreme
Programming intends to give iterative and successive small
deliveries all through the task, permitting both colleagues
and clients to analyse and audit the venture's progress all
through the whole SDLC. [4]
The four stages of software development are given
below:
• Planning
• Coding
• Designing
• Testing
B. SCRUM
Scrum is a agile method to deal with a venture, normally
software development. Agile methodologies with Scrum is
frequently seen as a procedure; yet rather than survey Scrum
as methodology, consider it a framework for dealing with an
interaction.
While scrum can profit a wide assortment of
organizations and undertakings, these are the most probable
recipients:
• Organizations that worth outcomes: Scrum is
likewise helpful to organizations that worth
outcomes over the archived progress of the cycle.
• Organizations that oblige clients: Scrum can help
organizations that create items as per client
preferences and details.
• Convoluted projects: Scrum system is ideal for
projects that expect groups to finish an
overabundance.

A vital idea for better balance of fun and serious activities

with engineers on an Extreme Programming project is the
thought that no one ought to be needed to work in abundance

of the typical booked work week. Additional time is
disapproved of, just like the idea of "crunch time", where
engineers are required to work outrageous hours close to the
furthest limit of a delivery to get everything finished on C. Feature Driven Development (FDD)
schedule. This system is a mix of best practices from other software
development frameworks. The customer needs the
improvement group to create software. Customers would
wish to have certain highlights in the product, and those
highlights will have particular functionalities. These
functionalities are known as Functions. In Feature Driven
Development (FDD), an element can be created and
conveyed to the client inside half a month, contingent upon
the group size and highlight intricacy. [6]
Any capacity that is hard to create and not deliverable in
this limited ability to focus (weeks) further partitions into
more modest capacities. This cycle goes on until the capacity
isn't adequately small to be conveyed in a limit of about
fourteen days.

IV. AGILE AND CLOUD COMPUTING- A GREAT FUSION
Cloud computing is the ideal platform for agile
developments. It allows you to get significant usefulness to
your clients rapidly, gather prompt feedback, and roll out fast
improvements dependent on that feedback. This quick
improvement cycle, an inherent advantage of cloud
computing, are difficult to carry out in the customary
advancement model in view of the enormous expense of
conveyance.
Combining agile development and cloud computing
brings the bests possible solution. Various associations are
utilizing various strategies for registering. It makes
programming quicker than previously. The cloud has given
quality. There are various benefits when we consolidate both
agile and the cloud.
A. Advantages of Cloud with Agile
• Resources are obliged to divide a giant proportion
of data among different machines for certain
applications. The cloud expects a huge part by
giving a medium to share a lot of data as indicated
by the requirements.
• Higher solidness of responsibilities.
• Straightforwardness/Transparency is significant. In
a cloud-based lithe model, the specialist can be
clear and satisfy hopes.
• Higher adaptability to change of Management and
advancement plans.
• The cloud helps passed on application progression
with bunches dispersed geographically. Any
partner can have rights to get information about the
application at any moment.
• Replace archives with talking face to face and at
whiteboards.
• The cloud empowers nimble practices with a
particular ultimate objective to meet the customers'
requirements quicker. The cloud supports "pay per
use".
• Higher use of responsibility, that is, growing huge
scope, developing frameworks with number of
engineers.
• Agile programming progression obliges the
infrastructure to be set up all along. The cloud
helps by giving a base.
• Higher quality by prior input from the clients.
• It is critical to reliably sort out and focus on tasks.
In a passed-on system, there is a need to update
gadgets. This uses imperativeness and requires
some speculation.
• Abbreviated development process duration of 75%.
• Reduce the expense of moving data between
individuals.
• Place individuals genuinely closer.

V. GUIDANCE FOR FUTURE RESEARCH
• Cloud computing along with agile development will
turn out to be exceptionally valuable for the world.
Cloud computing, portrays the method of conveying
software applications. These days, it is productive to
think about the conveyance of cloud computing
software applications.
• Due to headway in innovation, there is an expanding
scope of managing frameworks and expanding the
putting away predominance of systems
administration since wherever has a high-data
transfer capacity organization. Right uses, and more
prominent insurances and constancy than before the
Internet.
• Going from expanded handling because of the most
trend technology innovation, expanding the area of
networks information, and the most momentous
thing is the consistency in Internet insurance.[7]

strategies and furthermore cloud computing. This
inspiration permits us to perceive further critical
factors to help agile strategies inferable from their
versatility.
VI. CONCLUSION
This paper is an investigation identified with the
distributed computing's imperativeness when agile groups
expect to create standard items by means of nonstop
combination and conveyance strategies.
Agile methodologies focus to an equal movement with
the cloud computing highlights than a sequential one
removing the deferrals in provisioning the parts. Hence it is
clear that the endeavors go to this mix as it gives better
opportunities to innovative development with standard
business targets.
