Transform the way you approach product development with the first Agile Principle – customer satisfaction through continuous delivery!
For this a Scrum Team needs to understand:
- Why this principle is vital?
- How it’s often neglected? and,
- What to bear in mind while delivering products?
AGILE PRINCIPLE#1:
“Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of valuable software”
VITALITY OF THE PRINCIPLE
→ It is vital because it emphasizes the importance of delivering value to the customer
→ Value emphasizes focusing on outcomes and not on outputs!
→ Agile is customer-focused, and success depends on how well the Scrum Team meets the customer’s needs and expectations
HOW THIS PRINCIPLE IS NEGLECTED?
→ One of the most frequent ways this principle is neglected is by prioritizing features over delivering value to the customer
→ This can lead to an incomplete or ineffective solution that doesn’t meet the customer’s needs
WHAT TO BEAR IN MIND WHILE DELIVERING PRODUCTS?
→ It’s crucial to keep the focus on customer satisfaction
→ Prioritize delivering value:
⇾ Early and continuously
⇾ By listening to and incorporating customer feedback, and
⇾ Aligning your work with the customer’s needs and expectations
This will lead to successful and satisfying product development
