APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT & EMERGING TECHNOLOGY

WHAT IS APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT? complexity and variability involved in

- goes to the process of planning, creating, testing development projects
and deploying an information system, also known - Using the Agile approach, teams develop in
as the software, development short sprints or iterations, each of which
includes a defined duration and list of
deliverables, but in no particular order
- During sprints, team work towards the goal of
delivering working software (or some other
tangible, testable output)

AGILE IS A GREAT APPLICATION

DEVELOPMENT METHODOLOGY WHEN:
 The project is large enough to break down
into several sprints
SDLC stands for Software Development Life Cycle  You have a lot of specialists who can work on
a team together
1. Requirements Analysis  The bulk of the project is known ahead of
2. Design time and can be planned out
3. Development  You have good projects leaders in place.
4. Testing
