Often, many project managers run software development projects using a “waterfall” system built on clearly defined sequences of execution. However, this approach is much better suited to, say, traditional manufacturing lines than software companies, which must respond quickly to changing conditions.
Using a “waterfall” approach to project management and software development also means only one discipline, or team, may contribute. If you really want to include your wider team and benefit from its expertise, an agile approach is preferred.
An agile approach to software development projects prioritises continuous releases and incorporates customer feedback at each stage. What’s more, it fosters close collaborations between cross-functional teams, bringing a wide range of inputs.
Atlassian software like Jira, Trello and Confluence helps teams organise, discuss and share work so that everyone is on the same page. These platforms support various agile methodologies, building productive software development environments, in both the private and public sectors.
However, the road to agile project management and software development isn’t always straightforward and there are a few barriers along the way.
