The Flagship CMS project for the Government of Malaysia was developed by Torrent Tech using the Agile methodology, the purpose of using this methodology is follows a linear sequential approach while providing flexibility for changing project requirements, as they occur.

The Agile methodology, is quite flexible, and allows for changes to be made in the project development requirements even after the initial planning has been completed. In the Agile Model, planning, development, prototyping and other software development phases can appear more than once during the entire SDLC. Getting Users (Stake holders) and IT (Enablers) to involve in every action during the development cycle, gives a clear view of the direction of the project.
