Agile Lifecycle Phases
Most organizations have adopted the Agile values and principles as a way of responding to customer changes even in the later stages of development. Agile approach factors into account that projects are developed in a dynamic environment. Due to this, it allows the teams to break down any lengthy requirements into smaller segments, and a working project is delivered more quickly and frequently.
In Agile, the project leader is responsible for facilitating the work done by the development team, eliminating bottlenecks and ensuring that the development team is focused so as to deliver the software iterations in a frequent manner. Agile is more about hours, prioritization, feature selection and meetings.
The Agile Lifecycle phases are designed in such a way that they will accommodate the frequent changes in the customer requirements. This means that the phases allow for the customer to be implemented in the project even when the project is at the later stages of development.
