Mainframe development with Scrum and Agile methodologies
Traditionally, mainframe projects were often carried out using waterfall methods, but modern organizations are increasingly turning to Agile and Scrum. This results in faster deliveries, better collaboration between teams, and greater flexibility when adapting legacy systems.
Practical tips for Agile mainframe teams
- Implement Scrum
Hold daily stand-ups, sprints, and retrospectives to improve team communication. - Integrate CI/CD pipelines
Use tools such as Jenkins, Git for z/OS, and Endevor automation to deploy faster and more reliably. - Test automation
Automate testing of COBOL and PL/I code to detect regressions and errors early. - Small iterations
Divide large mainframe projects into manageable sprints so that deliverables are visible more quickly.
Benefits of Agile on the mainframe
- Shorter time-to-market for updates and new features
- Lower error rate through continuous testing and feedback
- Better collaboration between legacy and modern development teams
- Ability to modernize mainframe systems step by step
