Hi All,

In my project I am solely responsible for the development and testing of the application.Only other guy involved is the Business Analyst who interacts with the client at the beginning for the requirement.

*** I am not aware of these SDLC methodologies. So i would like to know what are these methodologies, what is the difference btwn Agile and Scrum methods, is Scrum a subset of Agile or both are completely diff.

For a team involving 1 or 2 members(developers). What is the methodology used and Why?.

I will explain the process involved with my project...so that u can tell me what is the methodology used.

1) Initial requirement gathering by business analyst,then he shares the details with me.
2) Depending on the requirement initially I design a User Interface and share it with the client.If the client approves well and good, I will go ahead with the implementation.
3) Once the coding part is completed...I start testing the application and share the link with the Client for testing.Once the client is satisfied with the results...we move it to production after business hours(becos of enhancement to existing proj).Again the application is tested by the User and me.If everthing goes well thats it.

Only for one project I was working with another team member..becos she has to schedule a job using SSIS which i am not aware of.
So it is a team of two for this project.I would like to know what is this methodology called or which is the methodology best suited for a team of 1 and a team of 2.

Thank you.

Prathap.

Hilarious!
ROTFL!
You show a wonderful sense of humour. I mean, 'what is the best methodology for a team of 1?'. You've got my 5!

I recommend Scrum and XP from the trenches[^].
There is a free PDF download there, you can start from it.

Good luck with your job hunt,
Pablo.

Hi Pablo,

Thanks for your recommendation.But i would like to know under which methodology my projects come under as mentioned in my post.

Regards,
Prathap.

Not XP: if you're using TDD (which is an essential part of XP), you should write tests before you write actual code.
Not SCRUM: if you're using Scrum, you need a team. A team of one cannot realize many of the benefits of scrum.
Your description sounds exactly like Waterfall. That's a very respected methodology, even if it is not exactly 'Agile'; most of the successful production code that exists on the planet was written using Waterfall.
Best wishes,
Pablo.
