12 agile principles
Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer
through early and continuous delivery
of valuable software.
Welcome changing requirements, even late in
development. Agile processes harness change for
the customer’s competitive advantage.
Deliver working software frequently, from a
couple of weeks to a couple of months, with a
preference to the shorter timescale.
Business people and developers must work
together daily throughout the project.
Build projects around motivated individuals.
Give them the environment and support they need,
and trust them to get the job done.
The most efficient and effective method of
conveying information to and within a development
team is face-to-face conversation.
Working software is the primary measure of progress.
Agile processes promote sustainable development.
The sponsors, developers, and users should be able
to maintain a constant pace indefinitely.
Continuous attention to technical excellence
and good design enhances agility.
Simplicity–the art of maximizing the amount
of work not done–is essential.
The best architectures, requirements, and designs
emerge from self-organizing teams.
At regular intervals, the team reflects on how
to become more effective, then tunes and adjusts
its behavior accordingly.
Setting a hard deadline to complete something
timebox
work done by a team to change code to serve a different purpose or function
rework
maintained list of feature to be built in the future
backlog
developing an artifact in steps,using knowledge gained from the previous step
progressive elaboration
team breaks work down into smaller parts
iterative
Three pillars of empiricism
transparency, inspection, adaptation
6 rules of interdepenance
Increase ROI
Deliver reliable results
Expect uncertainty
Unleash creativity
Boost performance
Improve effectivness
What is fixed in agile?
time and cost
What varies in agile
scope
What is the goal of an incremental approach
speed
what is the goal of an agile approach
value
what is the goal of an iterative approach?
Correctness of solution
Iterative activites are
repeated until correct
Incremental activities are
performed once
agile activities are
repeated until correct
Agile delivery is performed
frequent small deliveries
Incremental delivery is performed
frequent small deliveries
Iterative delivery is
single delivery
WHat should happen before tailoring is considerered
Try OOB, review motivation
What are the pillars of scrum?
Transparency inspection and adaptation.
What are the scrum roles
PO, SM and Dev Team
Scrum is founded on
empiricism and lean thinking
Scrum values
commitment, focus, openness, respect, and courage
scrum teams are;
cross functional
The scrum team size
10 or fewer people
Scrum developers are accountable for
creating the sprint plan, instilling quality by adearing to DOD, adapting their plan as required to achieve the sprint goal, holding each other accountable.
The PO is accountable for
Creating sprint goal, creating and communicating PBI’s, ordering the PBI and ensuring the backlog is transparent visible and understood.
The SM in Scrum
coaches team in slef mgmt and cross functionality, helps the team to focus on creating highvalue increments that meet the DOD, removes impediments, ensure scrm events occur and are positive, productive and timeboxed.
How does the SM serve the PO
find techniques for product goal def, helps the scrum team understand the need for clear PBI’s,establish empirical product planning for complex env and facilitating stakeholder collab
How does the SM server the org
leading training the org in scrum adoption, planning and advising on scrum implementation, helping staff enact empirical approach for complex work, removing barriers between stakeholders and scrum teams
Scrum events
The sprint, planning, daily, review, retro,
Can changes be made during the sprint in Scrum
no
Scrum artifacts
PB, SB, Increment
What are the artifacts and commitments of scrum
PB= Product goal, SB=Sprint goal,Inc=DOD
What are some differences between Scrum and XP?
Scrum teams typically work in iterations (called sprints) that are from two weeks to one month long.
XP teams typically work in iterations that are one or two weeks long.
Scrum teams do not allow changes into their sprints.
XP teams are much more tolerant to change within their iterations, though their iterations are much shorter than Scrum teams’ iterations.
Scrum doesn’t prescribe any engineering practices; XP does.
