From allowing faster development of products to enhancing quality and keeping customers and employees happy, Agile benefits have been realized by companies across sectors.But with the pandemic close to decimating economies and companies having to grapple with uncertain market conditions, will Agile still continue to influence software development? What are the agile trends 2022 and more specifically trends in agile project management? The agile practices aim at streamlining complex production and organizational processes, allowing project managers to deliver projects at a functional stage--where improvements can be made more quickly along the way. Agile testing encourages project teams to deploy solutions and to identify problems in the life cycle of growth, both with a laser focus on customer needs. Agile (largely) replaced the traditional approach to waterfalls, where teams had more rigid tasks and projects followed a more linear, less fluid route to completion.Taking time to create user sympathy and get fast design feedback can help to streamline prototyping and testing, as well as help, envision a solution that can put the team on the right track. Within the agile environment, businesses should recognize `dual-track agile' or `staggering sprints' that involve customer compassion, ideation, and feedback loops as an adjacent part of the agile process. Design thinking has delivered a more customer-centric approach from the start, without compromising the pace of the agile process.More Agile teams are embracing cloud-based technologies to discover new ways of thinking (forecasting), coding, testing, and deploying faster than they are/were doing now to take advantage over their rivals. Domain-less computing has been the preference of agile teams; as it removes the need for `still' conventional server resources, in addition to reducing infrastructure and operating costs. Organizations that adopt the Agile cloud-based approach have tremendous competitive advantages that promote better efficiency, greater agility, quicker market response, reduced cost, enhanced customer service, etc. It could be said that cloud technology is going to be an agile catalyst.Let us know your thoughts.Joe PhillipManaging Editoreditor@cioapplications.comJoe PhillipGraphics & ArtEditorial StaffBen JacksonDaniel HolmesEzra BenjaminSoham SanyalSenior WritersClara MathewRoyce D'SouzaVictor CruzDisclaimer: *Some of the Insights are based on our interviews with CIOs and CXOs
