As a recent blog post detailed<\/a>, agile testing is just as beneficial for web development teams as it is for software teams. In fact, a recent report from the Harvard Business Review shows that agile is \u201cthe\u201d advantage for businesses in the digital age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, knowing that is one thing; applying that knowledge can be slightly trickier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Clearvision, we specialise in tools and processes that help companies go agile. In building Spectrum<\/a> – a scalable, customisable platform designed to bring together the best tools and processes for customer collaboration<\/a> – and through our close work with enterprise companies around the globe, we\u2019ve picked up more than a few tips along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s all about communication and collaboration.<\/strong> Here\u2019s our guide to breaking it down and making it manageable. Go agile by considering the following 3 stages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1. Identify your challenges<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Maybe your teams are in different locations or working in different timezones<\/a>. Perhaps you\u2019re struggling with complex processes, or there\u2019s too much \u201cred tape\u201d. Are you waiting on decisions instead of working? Are you ready to adapt to changes?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ability to be \u201cagile\u201d and adapt to issues is perhaps more relevant to web teams than to any other – we at Clearvision have first hand experience on this, having recently relaunched our website with a brand new look! When you\u2019re building your organisation\u2019s website, you\u2019re developing the customer-facing front end<\/a>.Your website is your shop front.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But disparate teams, complex processes and unforeseen bugs<\/a> are the unfortunate reality for all developers. We\u2019ve witnessed this in enterprise organisations and smaller businesses alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you\u2019ve identified and fleshed out the way these challenges affect your organisation, it\u2019s much easier to tackle them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Go all in<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not just the web devs you need on your side. If you don\u2019t have a collective buy-in across teams, your collaboration will suffer, which means your work will as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similarly, if you aren\u2019t being agile across the entire lifecycle of your work, your team won\u2019t be working to its full potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Testing obviously plays a major role in web development, but the beauty of agile is that it\u2019s about the mentality behind work processes more than the work itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Agile practices are built around a specific set of values:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
