Agile software development

Q: How deeply does Build Financial Software with Generative AI (From Scratch) cover agile software development?

Defines program increments, sprints, epics, and user stories, but does not detail Agile ceremonies or engineering practices.

As explained in Build Financial Software with Generative AI (From Scratch)

Agile is an iterative software-development approach that emphasizes incremental delivery, collaboration, and adaptation to changing requirements.

Agile software development organizes work into short, manageable cycles so teams can deliver and refine FinTech capabilities incrementally. In a scaled setting, SAFe uses program increments, sprints, epics, and user stories to connect business commitments with development work. section 1.3

A practical Agile planning flow is:

Review the product roadmap, including business commitments, regulatory changes, and company initiatives. section 1.3
Set a program increment, a timebox typically lasting 8 to 12 weeks. section 1.3
Plan several iterations or sprints, commonly four two-week sprints within one program increment. section 1.3
Break larger initiatives into epics and then into smaller user stories or tasks that teams can manage during development. section 1.3

Applying Agile to an ACH project

A FinTech team can plan an ACH project during a program increment, divide its work into stories, and develop the solution in short cycles. The resulting project can extend from ACH-file processing to APIs and a user interface. section 1.3 section 12.5
