In this changing business environment, it is crucial to take a proactive stance to be more agile and collaborative. One of the development teams in Comcast Cybersecurity adopted a waterfall methodology for their product development. They committed to understanding requirements, designing to those requirements, and asking teams to develop them once the requirement was signed off.
Agile is a popular methodology for developing products and services, but it hasn’t been fully adopted in many organizations. More than ever, Agile has shown to be an effective way to create products and services with proper implementation. It is a culture that changes how teams work together, communicate with each other, and manage their work. It's more than just a new way of doing things. It is a whole new way of thinking about how to do things.
This paper and presentation will talk about the challenges faced by the team, provide a description of Agile, including the planning, implementation and benefits of using this approach. It will show how a transition to Agile delivered significant benefits to our customers.
