Review of Agile Development Ceremonies and Analysis of Its Various 4 Development Stages

Abstract

Agile methodology is the process in project management or software development which helps the business and organisations to deliver the product faster to the end user with higher performance rate and with great efficiency. Agile development focuses on providing solutions in incremental approach which means that it focuses on converting few requirements into functional software and then give it to the user to provide feedback after which again the same process is repeated to achieve satisfaction from consumer’s side. The advantage of using this approach is that if there are any changes to be made than that can be made easily without much efforts, since it is incremental model. An agile ceremony is an occasion when the team members conduct a meeting to decide on the tasks to be performed once few milestones are achieved. There are four main types of ceremonies of agile development which will be discussed in detail in this paper. The focus of each ceremony of agile is to verify the key achievements made in a project life cycle and to discuss the consistent check points in the cycle. The paper will also discuss the benefits and limitations of agile ceremony software development.
