What Is Agile?
Agile methodology is driven by face to face communication than written documents. It is an alternative to waterfall model but in incremental manner. The daily tasks are divided into small increments called sprints with minimum planning that don’t include long term planning. The collection of sprints is called product backlog. These are iteration which last from one to four weeks. Each iteration would include planning, requirement analysis, design, coding and testing. So, at the end of each iteration, a working product will be in a position to be demonstrated to the stake holders. The face to face meetings will be held in the first hour of the day before the team starts their work. These meetings are termed as Scrum meetings and will not last more than 15 minutes. These are also termed as stand up meetings.
Burn down charts are drawn and will display the progress.
Scrum team has only three roles: Product Owner, Team, and Scrum Master.
Product Owner: The Product Owner represents the stakeholders and are accountable for team deliverables.
Development Team: The development team is the core team that develops the planned sprints from the product backlog.
Scrum Master: Scrum is facilitated by a ScrumMaster. The ScrumMaster ensures that the Scrum process is used as intended. The ScrumMaster enforces all rules that would be followed by the team.
Advantages:
1. Agile Methodology helps in saving Time and Money.
2. Great transparency as whole team will be involved on regular basis
3. Less documentation that will help in concentrating on the product than the documentation
4. Issues can be quickly tracked and closed due to daily meetings
5. Change requests can be implemented as the feedback will be collected for every sprint
