In Murmu Software Infotech company or any software development, change is the only constant.[Text Wrapping Break]A client might request a new feature mid-project, business priorities shift, or a bug unexpectedly breaks a module that was working fine yesterday. Traditional Waterfall-style project management, where everything follows a step-by-step sequence, struggles in such situations.

At Murmu Software Infotech, we realized that to manage projects efficiently — from 

small mobile apps to enterprise-grade systems — we needed a more flexible and collaborative approach. That’s where Agile and Scrum completely changed the way we work.

Agile is not just a process — it’s a mindset.[Text Wrapping Break]It focuses on continuous delivery, team collaboration, and customer satisfaction through short, manageable development cycles called iterations or sprints.

The four core principles of Agile are simple but powerful:

Agile loop : Plan → Design → Develop → Test → Review → Repeat. 

Scrum is the most popular framework under the Agile umbrella.[Text Wrapping Break]It provides a structured approach to managing development work efficiently through defined roles, responsibilities, and events.

          Product Owner: Defines project vision, priorities, and goals.

         Scrum Master: Facilitates the process, removes blockers, ensures smooth sprint flow.

          Development Team: Designers, developers, and testers who deliver the actual product.

Below is the exact process we often follow at Murmu Software Infotech while managing our client projects.

After initial client meetings, requirements are broken into user stories.

[Text Wrapping Break]Each user story defines a specific feature from the user’s perspective. 

               Example: “As a user, I want to log in using OTP so that 

              I can access my dashboard securely.”

 These stories go into a Product Backlog, prioritized by importance and dependencies.

We organize the work into sprints, usually lasting 2–4 weeks.[Text Wrapping Break]The team selects the top-priority stories they can complete in that time.

The goal is not to deliver everything at once but to ship usable software piece by piece. 

Every morning, we conduct a 15-minute stand-up meeting where each team member answers:

          What did I complete yesterday?

         What will I do today?

         Is there any blocker? 

This keeps everyone aligned and helps identify issues early.

During the sprint, developers write code, testers validate, and designers adjust interfaces — all collaboratively.[Text Wrapping Break]The focus is on delivering a functional, testable feature, not just partial work.

At this stage, version control tools like GitHub or GitLab play a major role in tracking changes and ensuring code integrity. 

At the end of each sprint, the team demonstrates completed features to the Product Owner or client.

[Text Wrapping Break]Feedback is collected and logged into the next backlog for improvement. 

After the sprint review, the internal team reflects:

         What went well?

         What didn’t go as planned?

         What can we improve next time? 

These small improvements add up, helping the team grow stronger and more synchronized after every sprint. 

I am not using these tools nor company encourages to use due to size of small strength. Some of the tools that have made Agile implementation easier for companies include: 

Task Management - Trello, Jira, ClickUp

Version Control- GitHub, GitLab

Documentation- Google Docs, Notion 

Implementing Agile has transformed how our teams deliver software.

 Faster Delivery: Projects are divided into sprints, so clients see progress quickly.

[Text Wrapping Break] Continuous Feedback: Client input after each sprint prevents surprises later.[Text Wrapping Break] Better Collaboration: Cross-functional teams work as one unit.[Text Wrapping Break] Adaptability: Priorities can change without derailing the entire project.[Text Wrapping Break] Higher Quality: Frequent testing and iteration ensure more stable releases. 

Agile is simple in concept but challenging in discipline.[Text Wrapping Break]Some of our initial hurdles included: 

Adopting Agile and Scrum isn’t just about using new tools — it’s about adopting a mindset of collaboration, transparency, and adaptability.
