In SharePoint development along with all other standard
development practices we can also use the some agile practices like Scrum and
MSF. Choosing between scrum and MSF
might depend on the type of the project and its complexity. As per my knowledge
and experience when there is small size project and stake holders ( project
owner) want it to be get completed in quick time I will advise to go for scrum
practice. This practice is always helpful to understand the project
requirement, scope and mutual understanding in very quick time. The delivery is
in iteration which helps in bringing together the development team and the
stake holders on same page and builds the confidence in stake holders mind that
project is moving in right direction. The sprint is the main development unit
in this practice and it’s of small duration which helps in controlling the
development if it goes in wrong direction. The daily scrum and daily standup
helps to resolve any blockers in development by escalating the problem among
the team and taking help from any of the members with in or out side team
members. This is one of the major advantages in scrum practice.
The MSF stands for the Microsoft
Solution Framework. This is some set of standard proven development practices.
The MSF is mainly categorized in to descriptive and prescriptive components.
In MSF there is no single structure or process. Therefore
MSF supports multiple process approaches, so it can be adapted to support any
project, regardless of size or complexity. This flexibility means that it can
support a wide degree of variation in the implementation of software
engineering processes while retaining a set of core principles and mindsets.
The MSF practices can be utilized with the long term and
complex type of the projects because it could consists of series of short
development cycles and iterations which allow us to continuously learning and
refinement in the product.
