Impact of Agile Scrum Methodology on Time to Market and Code Quality – A Case Study

The software industry's Development Lifecycle is changing dramatically, with traditional, heavy-weight processes giving way to simple, light-weight Agile software development (ASD) methods. ASD develops outstanding, high-quality software in short, rapid iterations that is responsive to changing business conditions. Adaptive planning, gradual design and deployment, and a time-bound strategy are all encouraged. Agile promotes a quick and flexible response to change. Agile systems have the ability to improve customer satisfaction, lower bug rates, shorten cycle times, and enable faster adaption to quickly changing company needs. Agile helps to deliver early but might compromise on the quality of software delivered. This research paper presents the performance analysis of Agile Scrum methodology towards Time to Market and Code Quality based on various project parameters like time to deliver the product, number of bugs and code smells and amount of duplicate code.
