Agile workflow example

In an Agile approach to building a CRM system, the project is broken into small, valuable pieces that can be completed within short timeframes, typically 1-4 weeks. Instead of documenting all requirements upfront, the team might start with a prioritized list of user stories, short descriptions of features from the user's perspective. For example, "As a sales manager, I want to see a dashboard of leads." The team selects a small batch of high-priority stories for their first sprint. During this 2-week period, they design, develop, test, and potentially release this specific feature. At the end of the sprint, they show the working dashboard to stakeholders and collect feedback. In later sprints, they might build a customer profile view, add Gmail integration, or improve the dashboard based on feedback. Each sprint ends with a review of working software and a discussion on how to improve the process. This step-by-step approach allows the team to deliver value early, incorporate feedback often, and adapt to changing requirements throughout development.
