Many people think of Agile in terms of dry definitions:

• Scrum,

• Kanban,

• weekly sprints,

• daily stand-ups.

• Etc.  

In the traditional view, it's just a set of methods to streamline the work of an IT team. All you need to do is buy the right tool and learn the terminology, and your project will become “agile”.

At Rocksoft, we see it differently. For us, Agile is first and foremost a work philosophy that goes far beyond just the code. It's a way of thinking that puts the client relationship and a readiness for continuous change at the center.

“Agile” thinking has an incredibly large potential that we discover more and more with each project.

In this article, I will show you:

• why it is better to react to change than follow a fixed plan

• how important continuous feedback is

• how artificial intelligence makes the whole process faster and more effective

• and most importantly, how this approach helps turn the client into a real partner, not just someone who gets the product.

The only constant in business is change

In various industries, we are taught to plan projects in advance. When you build a house, you have a set timeline for when you want the project to finish.

In IT projects, we have found that it's not so black and white.

This model assumes that the world stops during software development. The problem comes when the client wants to deliver value quickly. Market conditions or available technologies may shift, and what seemed like the right set of requirements at the start can lose relevance along the way. Yet in the traditional model, teams often stick to those original assumptions simply because they were written into the contract.

At Rocksoft, we understand that the only constant in business is change. Instead of sticking to a strict plan, we keep the main goal in mind, but work in short cycles. This allows us to respond to new challenges and adjust the direction of work continuously. In this way, we make sure the final product is exactly what the client and the market need at that moment.

One of the biggest advantages of agile methods is frequent feedback.

The system of pre-planned actions practically completely rejects feedback and changes as the project goes.

We create the product and try to send changes frequently to show the client where we stand (mini-reporting). The client can then constantly monitor the project and recommend changes. Thanks to this, we really stick to the right direction.

How artificial intelligence makes us even more agile?

At Rocksoft, we are constantly looking for new ways to speed up and improve our work. Thanks to AI, we can create initial prototypes and test ideas very quickly, without the need to involve the entire team in lengthy conceptual work. This makes the idea-prototype-feedback cycle much shorter and allows us to respond even faster to client needs.

In this way, AI becomes not just an additional tool, but a driver of the Agile approach, making our work even more dynamic and effective.

Turn the client into a partner by using Agile

Frequent, close communication between the client and the service provider opens the way to something wonderful, perhaps the greatest asset of this mindset - ś

With the right attitude, you can now act as collaborators with a common goal: the best possible product at a given time and place. Exchanging opinions, guiding each other, or discussing a topic from different POVs - something truly valuable!
