Q:”Why should we do Agile?”
A:”To bring valuable solution to our customers”
Q:”Why?”
A:”The purpose of business is to create and keep customers – said Peter Drucker. So we need to provide valuable solution to problems that customers have so they join us and stay with us”
Many companies lose track of the first Agile principle as they start to adopt Agile frameworks. It says ”Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of valuable software”. We forget that Agile is not THE goal but more of a vehicle that will move us to continuously deliver value to our customers.
In this talk Ardita and Cheezy take you back to the basics by stepping into Continuous Delivery. It is already being used by many companies and is being pursued by even more as the best way to focus on customer delight.
Cheezy walks you through the engineering discipline and streamlining of your development process that is necessary in order to achieve CD. In many ways, this is an extension of the early eXtreme Programming approach to development.
Then Ardita explains how this approach forces you to change the way you think about product design and supporting services. Moving toward a hypothesis based approach that uses experiments to collect data to drive product design, you can finally satisfy the customer early and often, and effectively grow your business.
