Brief Summary

Characteristics of Agile
- The greatest feature is that the development process of "requirement definition -> design -> development -> implementation -> test -> operation" is repeated in a small cycle for each function.
- Engineers communicate and develop with an understanding of the business and its functions.
- We release what we've created in step by step and detail, and we improve what we've released by watching how users use it.
- Flexibility to change development priorities as business conditions change.
Why embrace agile?
- In services for ordinary users, the correct answer to the "function users want" is not known.
- Releasing small features in agile way to get users to use and try out the features.
- Validate usage and effectiveness of released features and make improvements to make them more valuable.
The hard part of being agile
- Every member of the team needs to think about the features that are most valuable to the user.
- Frequent source code changes, making it difficult to maintain consistency between documentation and source code.
- We need to work on making the whole team more productive.
