In each iteration, the IT project team works with partial project requirements to develop the software in many iterations called as <strong>spirals<\/strong>. All the steps of<strong> software development life cycle<\/strong> are followed in every spiral. The new features and changes in requirements are accepted and implemented in each spiral and the risk analysis is more emphasized. In risk analysis, the feasibility of requirements with existing software is to be checked to avoid the breakdown and adverse effects in software.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1286 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.h2kinfosys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/spiral-model-1024x650.png\" alt=\"spiral model\" width=\"528\" height=\"335\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.h2kinfosys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/spiral-model-1024x650.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.h2kinfosys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/spiral-model-300x191.png 300w, https:\/\/www.h2kinfosys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/spiral-model-768x488.png 768w, https:\/\/www.h2kinfosys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/spiral-model.png 1121w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 528px) 100vw, 528px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ga-byyTWhPg?rel=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;start=1213\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>Agile model<\/strong> is getting increasingly popular due to its suitability in the current project scenarios. The changing and unpredictable project environment call for reorganizing and being quickly responsive to these changes. The adaptability and learning tendency of a team is extremely important for agile development. To understand the agile history and manifesto, read \u00a0http:\/\/agilemanifesto.org\/history.html In the agile framework, there are Scrum, Kanban, and many others. Agile scrum being a popular one. In the Agile Scrum, software is developed in several incremental called as a sprint. In every sprint, few requirements are developed into a potentially shippable product in two to four weeks. The two-line user stories describe the features to be implemented. In <strong>Agile Scrum<\/strong>, the three roles are- product owner, scrum master and team. Product owner identifies and prioritizes the features to be implemented in the sprint. Scrum master plans and controls the sprints. The team refers to a technical group that includes business analyst, architects, developers, and software testers who are responsible for completion of the sprint.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1284 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.h2kinfosys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/agile-scrum-model.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"659\" height=\"519\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.h2kinfosys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/agile-scrum-model.png 724w, https:\/\/www.h2kinfosys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/agile-scrum-model-300x236.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 659px) 100vw, 659px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/x6zRZet8IEs\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>In the <strong>agile workflow<\/strong>, product owners come up with product backlog document which has a list of features to be implemented in the sprint, listed based on priority.

After the sprint, the potentially shippable product is presented to the client by the team.
