MindTree Agile SDLC

MindTree Agile SDLC addresses the business demands of our customers by leveraging the benefits of Agile. MindTree collaborates with our customers in defining context specific approaches to derive project specific Agile SDLC.

MindTree Agile SDLC methodology is based on industry standard methodologies such as Scrum and XP. It encompasses a good balance of engineering and project management practices.

Iterative development and short delivery cycles provide for risk mitigation and corrective actions at early stages to meet release timelines. In a typical software development scenario the duration of each release cycle is 2 to 3 months. In an onsite-offshore or offshore model we suggest multiple iterations (or Sprints) of 2 or 4 weeks during each release cycle.
