Working in a Agile Team

Doing a project with huge scope with fewer members was actually a huge challenge to us. The factor that affects the project most is associated with the group i.e. human resources. It is very important to have an idea about working in an agile group before doing a project in that methodology.

Through face to face communication, Small Agile teams can best understand and discuss your requirements. Empowered teams will figure out the best way to get things done, boosting productivity while spreading knowledge. Team collaboration reinforces best practices and makes it easier to introduce new tools and development techniques.

I would like to tell you some points we should consider when working in an Agile group:

1. ►Communication between team members should be as maximum as possible. It is very important to share the ideas among team members.
2. ►Team should specialize in all aspects of a software engineering project. In short,everyone should know everything.
3. ►No one should depend on each other on an entire aspect of the project. For an example, we cannot depend on a single team member for testing. Everyone should do everything.
4. ►Use a code repository. It saves a lot of time. You don't have to waste your time trying to integrate members' modules. Take a look at this article for more details.

Do’s and Don’ts when working in a group

Do’s

► Always take time to understand the qualities and abilities of the team members and assign work to them based on that.

► Always plan the work and strategies beforehand and constantly check that they are in progress.

► Schedule group meetings so that the progress and any problems can be identified.

► Always respect the views of others and involve everyone in the decision making.

► Make sure that you make and effort to enhance the quality of the project and not let the group down at any instance.

Don’ts

► Do not try to resolve any disagreement by fighting. Talk it out quietly and in private.

► Do not assign a responsibility to someone who has a weakness or lacks understanding in a certain area.

► Never complain on having to do group work as one day in the industry we would have to and then if u succeed in these type of projects working is not going to be a big challenge for you

► Do not worry or try to compete with other groups. Just do your work as planned.

That's all for today.. Happy coding..!!
