They should ensure that artifacts, business cases, and documents are visible to all stakeholders at their place of work and reduce the need for meetings or clarifications. This is especially beneficial in remotely distributed development teams. Solution : Each step in the Software Development Life Cycle must be carefully evaluated before being blindly followed. Any step that has little value to the customer, and causes slowing down of the overall Software Development Life Cycle, should be evaluated and if needed, eliminated or paced up.
Automation can really help in enabling continuous and frequent shorter releases that can be quickly integrated, validated, tested in an automated manner. Extra Features: At times, extra functionality is built into the software that offers little or no value to the business goals or to the customer, hence contributes to wasted time and effort.
Solution : By using tools that trace and align each feature to business ideas along with prioritizing and seeking documented approval before kicking off development, can help. Tools should also provide means to share and make visible the software features under development, to business stakeholders. This way it can be ensured that only the useful features are focused upon.
By making the entire process traceable, the agility of responding to changing business dynamics is achieved. Partially Completed Work: Often partially completed work leads to waste due to incomplete features that cannot be implemented yet. This is disastrous in the waterfall model approach since development begins only after previous stages have been completed.
In the agile model as well, partially completed work could lead to waste. If the team is working on multiple iterations, missed out or incomplete functionality might be tested much later when the cost of fixing may be too high.
Solution : In an iterative approach, it is of utmost importance to complete all dependency chains, especially incomplete stories. They should be brought to a logical closure, as soon as possible, within the iteration itself.
This shall minimize partially completed works. Automated agile dashboards and a collaborative approaches to development are key factors used to identify partially completed areas. Appropriate measures would be then applied to complete them. Defects: Defect reporting, at later stages, is very expensive to repair and hence, causes waste.
The time wasted in defects reporting and fixing leads to heavy time and cost penalties. The fix might not even work correctly. At times, testing depends upon the readiness of dependent services, especially during integration testing which is normally conducted at a later stage in the development. Solution : It is imperative to test the bugs as early as possible in system development. Agile helps address these issues to a certain extent. Test virtualization tools can help check partially developed systems in simulated integration environments, thus moving up testing in the Software Development Life Cycle.
Additional Techniques: Listed below are some other strategies that focus on the overall product development process in order to assist in reducing waste and increasing efficiency in the system. Unified ALM Application Lifecycle Management : In a global company, various parts of a complete software system may be done by various teams or third parties, each using their own tools and Software Development Life Cycle methods.
In order to align such varied portions, collaborate and share dependent information, as well as provide a unified platform to connect business leads, system analysts, project managers, developers, and testers, a unified ALM is needed.
It can help reduce the gap between agile and non-agile methods and create visibility and traceability across the entire lifecycle, reducing waste and avoiding duplication of efforts.
