4. What is Agile?
Agile is the ability to adapt to changes as fast or faster than
changes occur. Agile is an umbrella term for a set of values,
principals and practices that have been shown to improve the
efficiency, productivity, and quality of software delivery.
The Agile Manifesto was written
In 2001, a group of 17 “lightweight” methodologists met
Including Representative of
eXtreme Programming (XP)
Scrum
DSDM Adaptive Software
Development
Agile Manifesto
5. The Agile Manifesto
We are uncovering better ways of developing software by doing
it and helping others do it.
Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
Working software over comprehensive documentation
Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
Responding to change over following a plan
That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value
the items on the left more.

Traditional
Agility is a relative term
7. Focus on empowered, self-managing teams;
Autonomous teams do not need the day-to-day intervention of
management
Management protects team from outside interference
Agile teams are composed of a mix of skills
Agile team members are able to step in for each other as
necessary
Individuals And Interactions Over Processes And Tools
8. Traditionally we measure progress by the percent complete of
the functional milestones
Agile teams provide actual working product as a status report,
“product review”
Design changes as the system is built, results in outdated
documentation
Agile teams prefer face-to-face communication over
documentation because it is simpler, faster, and more reliable.
Working Software over Comprehensive Documentation
9. Contract negotiation, Identify and define everything and spells
out the payment and date specifications
Customers become a part of the development process
Writing specs down and throwing them over the fence is
simply not effective
Customer Collaboration over Contract Negotiation
10. It’s much easier to respond to change when the organization
and the customer share a clear understanding of the project’s
status
In plan-driven environments, all requirements are specified up
front, broken down to the task level and estimated
Agile plans follow more of a rolling wave approach using top-
down planning
Responding to Change over Following a Plan
11. What is Agile?
• An iterative and incremental (evolutionary) approach performed in a highly
collaborative manner with just the right amount of ceremony to produce
high quality software in a cost effective and timely manner which meets the
changing needs of its stakeholders.
• Core principles
– ―Fits just right‖ process
– Continuous testing and validation
– Consistent team collaboration
– Rapid response to change
– Ongoing customer involvement
– Frequent delivery of working software
12. 1. Satisfy the customer through
early and continuous delivery
2. Welcome changing requirements
3. Deliver frequently, preferring a
shorter timescale
4. Business & technical work
together daily
5. Pick the right team & trust them
6. Face-to-Face Communication
7. Working software is the primary
measure of progress
8. Sustainable pace
9. Technical excellence and good
design enhances agility
10. Simplicity, maximizing the
amount of work not done
11. Best results emerge from self-
organizing teams
12. The team regularly reflects
to become more effective
12 Agile Principles
18. Incremental over Big Bang
• Agile welcomes changes. The product owner has
a chance to change the course every sprint.
– For a company who develop software products, you can
add features in the middle of development for your
product to be highly competitive in the market.
– For a company who develop in-house software, you can
add and prioritize features with high business value
• Agile discover issues at earlier stage of the
development thus improve quality
• Agile ships builds every end of sprints thus create
transparency and shortens the feedback loop
19. Waterfall Vs. Agile Methodology
PMI’s framework is based on a waterfall methodology, while the ScrumMaster Certification is
based on Agile. Both of these methodologies comprise very different approaches to software
development.
Waterfall Methodologies
• Waterfall Methodologies feature distinct
planning, development, and testing phases.
• Software development projects are heavily
planned during the planning stage, where little to
no code is completed
• During the build (development, or execution)
phase, the product of the project is built.
• Any changes to product design are normally
handled by change requests to the original project
plan
• After the build phase is completed, products
are tested during a comprehensive testing phase.
Clients (or customers) do not normally receive the
finished product until all work on the project has
been completed and delivered
Agile Methodologies
• Agile methodologies feature iterative
development phases
• Product features are gathered and prioritized
in a backlog of features
• Scrum teams take on development of product
features during sprints, where they are designed,
constructed, and tested – normally during a two-
week period
• After the sprint, features emerge as deliverable
product
• Clients are presented completed features from
an individual sprint during a sprint demo
• Product changes may not take place during
sprints, but they are accepted at any other time,
so products are constructed organically
21. Increase Business Value
• Agile improves the process through
regular retrospect
• Agile increases customer satisfaction and
confidence to the product
• Agile builds trust and relationship with
customer through regular and open
communication
• Agile improves the quality of the product
• Agile shortens time to market
• Agile reduces Risk
22. Output over Theory
• Agile is focused more in communication
with the team and the product owner to
understand the customer requirements
instead of documentation
• Agile is focused on bridging the
communication gap between team
members because feedback loop is
much shorter
• Agile discovers issues before it strikes
• Agile can start the project with minimal
documentation
23. In agile processes, the feedback loop is much
shorter and more frequent, so problems get
discovered quickly. Communication between
the team and product owner is always open.
24. Faster Delivery Faster ROI
• Less Management Overhead
• Increase efficiency of the team results to lesser cost
• Product Owners could throttle the budget without sacrificing
high valued features
• Quality output results to low maintenance and downtime
• Agile does not recommend Over Time results to low
operation cost
• Shorten time to market thus increase revenue and help
position the product in the market.
• Agile increase competitive edge of the product in the
market
• Agile produces Happy developers = productive developers
= less turn over
28. SCRUM is…
• Scrum is an agile, lightweight process that
can be used to manage and control
software and product development using
iterative, incremental practices
• Wrapping existing engineering practices,
including Extreme Programming and RUP,
Scrum generates the benefits of agile
development with the advantages of a
simple implementation
• It is adaptive, quick, self-organizing and
have few rests
..process framework, not methodology
29. Why SCRUM
It is HOT!
• It’s work and simple.
• More practical (practical process model).
• A rule of thumb or best practices for process
inspection and continue adaptation.
30. Scrum Characteristics
• Scrum is an agile process that allows us to focus on delivering the highest
business value in the shortest time.
• Every sprint (two weeks to a month) anyone can see real working
software.
• The business sets the priorities. Teams self-organize to determine
the best way to deliver the highest priority features.
• Requirements are captured as items in a list of product backlog
• Product progresses in a series of month-long “sprints”
• Activities for the team are captured as tasks in a list of sprint backlog
• No specific engineering practices prescribed
• One of the ―agile processes‖

41. Product Backlog
Product Owner lists
items in descending
order of priority (highest
priority item is listed
first, next-highest is
second, etc.)
Size estimates are rough
estimates (can either be
arbitrary “points”, or
“ideal days”)
42. Product Backlog
• List of everything that could ever be of value to
the business for the team to produce
• Ranked in order of priority
– Priority is a function of business value versus risk
• Product Owner can make any changes they want
before the start of a Sprint Planning Meeting
– Items added, changed, removed, reordered
• How much documentation is up to the team and
Product Owner to decide
• The farther down the list, the bigger and less
defined the items become
– ~2 Sprints worth are defined in detail

duration
– 2 week Sprint = 2-4 hours, 4 week Sprint = 4-8 hours
46. Daily Scrum Meeting
• Every weekday
• Whole team attends
• Everyone stands
• Lasts 15 minutes or less
• Everyone reports 3 things only to each
other
– What was I able to accomplish since last meeting
– What will I try to accomplish by next meeting
– What is blocking me
• No discussion, conversation until meeting
ends
• Product Owner can attend and report
• Update of artifacts after standup
47. Updating the Sprint Backlog
• Before or after the Daily Scrum, team
members update the hours remaining
on the Sprint Backlog
