Small Deliveries

'Working software is the primary measure of progress.' - 7th principle of the Agile Manifesto

Why keep the client waiting a long time to deliver an important requirement? In XP, each release should be as small as possible while delivering the maximum business value.

Small deliveries contain the user stories identified and prioritized in the planning game.

Advantages of Small Deliveries:

  • Early and Continuous Value Delivery: Provides value to the client sooner and more frequently.
  • Improved Process Through Fail Fast Concept: Allows for quick failure and improvement, accelerating the refinement process.
  • Higher Quality, Confidence, and Stability: Promotes a higher standard of quality and reliability.
  • Simplified and Sufficient Design: Focuses on a design that is just enough for the current delivery.
  • More Frequent Code Updates and Integration: Ensures code is updated and integrated regularly, reducing integration issues.
  • Increased Team Engagement: Allows the team to see their work being utilized and fosters a sense of empowerment.
