a)Trivia About Agile Methodology

In order to correct issues cropping up due to the waterfall method, a new development practice was introduced in 2001 by a set of people called Agile Methodology. The main concept adapted in Agile is the iterative way. Set of software industry giants met in Snowbird, UT in 2000 to discuss this method. Then they decided to differentiate agile from the traditional method with some values and called them Agile Manifesto

b) Agile Framework – A Brief Overview

Agile's iterative software development method follows many frameworks including Scrum, Lean, Kanban, Extreme Programming, Feature-driven development etc. It is a big list and Scrum is the most commonly used framework. The scrum will focus on three roles to go through the development cycle: the scrum masters, developers and product owners. 

c) Agile Manifesto 

The set of values defined for Agile methodology is called Agile Manifesto. It was written in Feb 2001 by 17 independent software techies. There were several written among which 4 values were accepted by all which is given below.

• The project can become successful when it depends on people than tools, and discussions must be encouraged than implementing hardcore
• Working on the product should be encouraged rather than focussing on documentation.
• Customer satisfaction is the key over negotiating the contract.
• Reacting to the changes and not strictly following a plan.

d) Key Principles in Agile

The Agile Manifesto gave birth to 12 agile principles.

Learn about how the Scrum Master facilitates the Scrum Team and conditions where he doesn’t. 

Yes, that’s how you can easily remember the five values of the scrum process. C FOR C means to Commit you to need Courage. To develop Courage you need to Focus With Open mind and Respect all in the team.

The framework of Scrum is simple and it deals efficiently with the changing situations. The work gets split into iterations. It is because during the development process the priority changes due to the situation, user mindset, technology etc. Therefore, the framework focuses on splitting the project into sequences of iterations called sprint. Every sprint will last for a maximum of 4 weeks. Therefore the complexity of the project is split and all changes are accommodated during the sprint meeting. There is not much of a loss and also the user gets the output per the expectation.

The framework is simply understood as Planning – Executing – Learning – Taking Actions. This will continue until the end result is achieved. Every sprint meeting will be in length to plan from the education of the previous sprint.

Scrum meetings happen when the scrum master, product owner, and development team meet to discuss the goals and the procedure to implement the same. There are many aspects of scrum meetings including: 

• Sprint planning meeting
• Daily scrum meeting 
• Sprint review meeting 
• Sprint retrospective meeting 
• Release planning meeting 

Scrum artifacts are basically the set of information that the scrum team uses to make future decisions and set their goals. These details help in discussing how the product is developed, actions to produce it and actions performed during the projects. It includes the following elements: 

• Product Backlog 
• Product Increment and Definition of Done 
• Sprint Backlog
