Large Corporations increase productivity with Agile Software Development

Agile provides results. Just ask Hewlett Packard who recently reported a 3.4X productivity gain using Agile project management techniques.

With the Agile methodology, management teams and software developments teams are more focused on results and less focused on spending large amounts of time planning

After more than 20 years in the technology business Brightspark (www.brightspark.com ) recently moved to a more Agile management style.

According to Mark Skapinker Co-CEO, “The move to Agile increased productivity company wide. With Agile, team members are more accountable for their projects and they now understand that in order to deliver quality results they need to be continuously collaborating. Best of all with Agile there are no surprises at the end.”

To help teams collaborate more effectively, Brightspark uses their very own Agilebuddy software. This software service is a full featured web based project management application built on a rich collaboration framework, it allows for flexible, real-time project management and offers users an easy way to create, estimate and plan Scrum software development projects.

Agilebuddy is designed to be used with any Agile process including Scrum, eXtreme Programming (XP), Feature Driven Development (FDD). These methodologies and processes are gaining momentum with software development teams around the world.

“Agilebuddy provides our customers complete transparency into the software development process” says Jack Milunsky, COO and Scrum Master, Brightspark 3.0. “We are committed to Agile, we practice Scrum daily and we built Agilebuddy using the Agile and Scrum methodology.”
