About
This project examines the application of Agile software development methods. It
includes the management, design, build and test of a Dental Age Assessment
application using Agile Scrum and eXtreme Programming principles.
Over the course of this paper you will obtain detailed understanding of Agile SCRUM and
eXtreme Programming principles. I attempt to design the system up-front and produce
a high-level project plan. In conclusion, I provide a differential to my up-front planning
and initial design with the implemented solution. It is my hope to add additional
substance to Agile and the reasoning’s that detailed up-front planning and design
equates to wasted effort.
Without the application of agile would the stakeholder have a system fit for purpose ?
