Disadvantage of traditional SDLC  Always Delayed Deployment to real time world, impacting customers business.  New Requirements and Change Requirements are not considered in immediate builds.  Customer’s feedback and inputs on AUT are possible at a very later stage of SDLC.  Incomplete Documentation, Complete documentation is a complicated and a time consuming task.

What is Agile? A group of software development methods based on iterative and incremental development, where requirements and solutions evolve through collaboration between self-organizing, cross-functional teams.

Agile Manifesto  Individuals and interactions over processes and tools  Working software over comprehensive documentation  Customer collaboration over contract negotiation  Responding to change over following a plan

Continuously Improvement

Types of Agile  Agile Unified Process (AUP)  Crystal Clear  Dynamic Systems Development Method (DSDM)  Essential Unified Process (EssUP)  Exia Process (ExP)  Extreme Programming (XP)  Feature Driven Development (FDD)  Kanban (development)  Open Unified Process (OpenUP)  Scrum

Scrum Basic Roles: The Product Owner, who is responsible for the business value of the project; the Scrum-Master, who ensures that the team is functional and productive; and the self-organized team. Ceremonies: the sprint planning meeting, daily roles, “Scrum is made up of three three ceremonies scrum meeting, and sprint review meeting and three artifacts.” Artifacts: the product backlog, the sprint backlog, and a burn-down chart

Agile Development Process with Scrum

Burn down Chart A burn down chart is a graphical representation of work left to do versus time. The outstanding work (or backlog) is often on the vertical axis, with time along the horizontal.

The pre-requisite soft skills for a Scrum Team 1.Team Spirit 2.Communication 3.Commitment 4.Problem Solving 5.Transparency“ Team can deliver high value software features in a short time period

Sprint Planning

Estimating Size with Story Points • Story Points Are Relative – Raw value not important but Relative is. 3 1 2 – Two common ways to get started  Pick the smallest story then assign 1 point  Pick the medium-size story then assign 5 points

Estimating Size with Story Points • Velocity – A team’s rate of progress. – Total story points completed during the iteration. 3 3 completed 5 5 not finished 3 3 not started 2 2 IT1 IT2 Velocity = 13 Velocity = 8 1 week 1 week – Size = 100 points & Velocity = 10 & 1-Week Iteration, we need 10 iterations, which equals 10 weeks on the calendar.
