Agile Model provides regular feedback on the project progress, performance of the team and quality of deliverable produced. The primary measure of a Agile software project’s success is the delivery of functioning software.
At the end of each iteration, Offshore team delivers working software, at least into a demo or testing environment, so their stakeholders can clearly determine whether progress is being made and money is being spent wisely.
Project Status Report
Project Status Report provides information on resources, consumed budget and project risks. Xebia and the customer will agree upon the exact contents of this report and the reporting frequency.
Burn Down Chart
In Agile model, software requirements are managed as a prioritized stack, and each item in the stack includes an up-to-date estimate of the amount of effort necessary for implementation to occur. An effective burn-down chart tracks both the amount of work required to implement a particular iteration and the work needed to complete the entire project. With these metrics, you can better determine a more accurate estimate of your project's end date.
