It has been said before that, “building software is more like creating a work of art, it requires creativity in design and ample craftsmanship to complete”.(3) That statement couldn’t be more true especially as we move further into the 21st century. Companies worldwide realize that producing a product of high quality is exceptionally important and should be a huge consideration when planning a project. As a result, many different methodologies have been developed in order to better organize work and adapt to changes in requirements. When it comes to technology development, it is best to utilize a framework that is more agile in nature. The two frameworks that will be scrutinized in this document are DevOps and Extreme Programming …show more content…
This is beneficial to improve agility and close collaboration. Furthermore, once these teams are formed, a virtual dashboard is implemented so that each team member is up to date on what projects are in process of being created and how much progress has been made. In these respects it is necessary to document the infrastructure of the project and post this information on the dashboard, so that a holistic structure guides the team and features are scalable (Barrett, 2016).

The ability to adapt to change is extremely important considering the fact that the customer is very involved in the process-they’re part of the team. Customer interaction is achieved from day one through the creation of story cards. These cards are produced by the eventual end user and outline features they would like to eventually see in the final product. They are then sorted by importance and picked by employees working on the
