Agile focuses on iterative development, prioritizing working software over documentation, valuing customer collaboration over contract negotiation, and responding to change over rigid plans. The document outlines the origins and values of the Agile Manifesto in emphasizing individuals, interactions, working software, and responding to change.
This is one hour free webinar about Agile principles for software development.
Main purpose for this webinar is to give attendees overview of Agile methodology for software development and provide understanding of main Agile principles.
The complexity in the simplicity of Agile? by Arie van BennekumAgile ME
Looking at Agile, it is so simple. In fact Agile is just structured common sense. Still so many people struggle to get their success in Agile. What is going on? The point is Agile, with all its simplicity, is based on different paradigms and the old paradigms hinder. The question is, can you identify thew old paradigms and furthermore, how do you change them. Arie van Bennekum will take you in his talk on his 22 years Agile journey and share his experience, successes, his delta’s and IATM, the Integrated Agile Transformation Model he developed for Agile transformations. IATM is a successful Agile change process to (the next level of) Agile he and his teams use doing international Agile transformations.
This document discusses Agile project management. It provides an overview of Agile's history and principles as outlined in the Agile Manifesto. These include prioritizing individuals and interactions, working software, customer collaboration, and responding to change. The document also describes Agile frameworks, differences from traditional approaches, objectives like being valuable and continuous, and elements of Agile planning, teams, and leadership.
The document discusses the principles of Agile methodology. It begins by describing the Agile Manifesto and its values of prioritizing working software over documentation and customer collaboration over contract negotiation. It then outlines 12 principles of Agile, including early and continuous delivery of valuable software to satisfy customers, welcoming changing requirements, and self-organizing teams. Finally, it notes some potential downsides or "dark sides" to Agile practices, such as an overemphasis on speed over quality or lack of planning.
Methodologies, frameworks, and processes Part 2Portolearn
Scrum is a popular lightweight agile framework that is easy to understand. It is documented in the Scrum Guide and based on principles of transparency, inspection, and adaptation. The Scrum team consists of a Product Owner, Scrum Master, and team of 5-9 members. The Product Owner is responsible for goals and priorities while the Scrum Master removes impediments. The team self-organizes during sprints which include planning, daily stand-ups, review and retrospective meetings. Key activities focus on backlog refinement, sprint planning, daily scrums and sprint reviews and retrospectives.
Robert Martin in his book The Clean Coder mention about the Professional Developer, later Sandro Mancuso repeat it in his book Software Craftsmanship. On the several Agile Transformation I coach around the world, I saw the same problem, the process is applied, but the developers continue to work the same way. It is even worse; some company expects process improvement without a new Developer mindset.
In December 2008 the Software Craftsmanship manifesto was written. Since then several companies were created around the Software Craftsmanship communities. I will present you what it is about and what are the tools I used to promote Software Craftsmanship in my company and during my coaching missions around the world from Europe to Asia.
This presentation is for the developers to become better, but also to the executive that wants to build a better company with excellent software developers than just basic one who at the end will cost more.

Collaborative Agile Development in Virtual Reality by Talal ShaikhAgile ME
he Application of agile software development process to engineering software projects has shown good progress over the years. However, in a globally connected world having an entire team working on developing the software from one location does not typically happen. Agile techniques and processes are successful when teams are co-located. This project tries to find a solution to this problem by using virtual reality to fill the gap between remote located teams and fast paced development environment. This provides an immersive feeling of being in office with colleagues even if the participants are not in same room physically. This can greatly improve the collaborative work.
A Virtual Reality (VR) environment is developed for the team members to interact in. We used Oculus DK2 as the headset and Leap Motion to interact within that world.
We have explored Implementation of pair programming. The VR application developed has a browser which can be interacted with VR controls. The browser syncs itself across all windows and users. When this feature of browser is used with cloud services, it helps to provide a screen sharing without actually sharing the screen. This application features a board where people can come and discuss meeting agenda. The participants in the meeting can walk to different virtual rooms. The participants can go to virtual outdoors from the virtual office. The application works with both VR headset and without VR headset.
This application was tested among few students to get the feedback. The programmers reported that this application could really improve communication.
Future
The project can be developed in different stages in future. The first step will be adding leap motion controls to move around in the virtual office. More browser controls will be moved to leap motion interactable buttons from gaze based interaction. In the future, the project will be developed to have multiple platforms such as android and iOS. The project must be updated frequently to use new and better VR devices and its controls.
Unlike traditional projects, Agile teams use different techniques to convert requirements into valuable user stories in order to achieve business agility.
Join our next webinar "Agile Projects | Business Decomposition" to go through the SDLC from the start point "Planning and Requirement Analysis", and find how it is important to focus on both functional and non-functional requirements.
Agile Development – Why requirements matter by Fariz SaracevicAgile ME
The clear benefits of agile development is a better collaboration, incremental delivery, early error detection and the elimination of unnecessary work—have made it the default approach for many teams. Some developers have questioned whether requirements fall into the category of unnecessary work, and can be cut down or even completely eliminated. Meanwhile, teams developing complex products, systems and regulated IT continue to have requirements-driven legacy processes.
So how does requirements management fit in an agile world? This meetup will take a look at requirements management and how it can bring significant value to agile development in regulated IT and complex product development projects, and sets out the characteristics of an effective requirements management approach in an agile environment.
The document discusses various tools and techniques used in agile project management including user stories, agile backlogs, product backlogs, sprint backlogs, risk adjusted backlogs, release backlogs, agile methodologies like Scrum, Lean, XP, Crystal, Kanban, DSDM, AUM, FDD. It also discusses estimation methods like planning poker, relative sizing, affinity, Delphi and formulas used in agile.
Agile evolution lifecycle - From implementing Agile to being AgileMichal Epstein
This document outlines an agile evolution lifecycle consisting of adoption, adjustment, and advancement. It discusses scaling challenges with initial agile adoption within teams and a lack of visibility outside teams. The adjustment phase emphasizes focusing on small, well-defined user stories and taking responsibility for deliveries. Advancement challenges working agile in organizations needing roadmaps for customers and discusses prioritizing features by business value and cost to fit within scope. The final culture stage involves organizational unity across functions, adapting approaches, and focusing on short cycles of gradual value to keep customers happy.
Agile has become mainstream in the IT industry, since that the multiplication of Agile practices which makes Agile implementation complex and uncertain, we have started to see failure in Agile implementations.
During this presentation we will start a simplification process by going back to the source of Agile, understand what Agile is and what it is not. We will discover what is the Heart of Agile, its essence, and how it embraces management

Agile methods embrace changing requirements, frequent delivery of working software, collaboration between business and technical teams, self-organizing teams, and continuous improvement.
The document outlines the 12 principles of the Agile Manifesto which provide guidance for agile methods. It discusses each principle individually. The principles focus on satisfying customers, welcoming changing requirements, frequent delivery of working software, collaboration between business and developers, motivating individuals, face-to-face communication, using working software to measure progress, maintaining a sustainable pace, technical excellence and design, simplicity, self-organizing teams, and continuously improving.
This document is an introduction to the Cynefin framework presented by Hosny Ashry. The presentation agenda includes a history of agile, why agile is useful, an explanation of the Cynefin framework, and a question and answer section. The history of agile stretches from 1986 to the Agile Manifesto in 2001. The Cynefin framework categorizes problems as obvious, complicated, complex, or chaotic and prescribes different approaches to problem-solving in each domain.
XP teams take every iteration commitment seriously by delivering working software. Continuous Delivery of working product increments and early releasing gives concrete feedback about the state of the system at any time and also increases customer satisfaction.
Pair programming pair testing working together with the developers by Simon ...Agile ME
In my scrum team, as a tester, I'm responsible for the test work to be done. Most of that test work is done manually. We need to automate those test cases. But, when? And how?
The developers and and the tester can do a lot together. Some times we test together. Some times we program together. Some times I'm on my own, testing or creating/writing automation scripts.
In my talk I will share my experiences what I'm doing with my developer colleagues. From the moment we start development on the feature (Epic or user story) up until we ship it.
We explore, build and test the feature. Based on that we create scripts for automation on various levels. From unit test level up until end to end testing.
Take aways from this session are:
- How to work together with your developer(s)
- Motivate your stakeholders to work this way
- Give tester a way to participate in coding and learn from the experience
- Provide Agile coaches a way how to set up automation in a scrum team
Unlike traditional projects, Agile teams realized the importance of prioritizing the product backlog according to it's added value to the business.
In this webinar, we talked about how do Product Owners prioritize product backlog continuously in order to achieve the highest value product while sticking to the schedule and cost constraints.
Implementing Agile is not as simple as introducing and applying a methodology. Agile also requires a comprehensive culture change and mindset shift—a process that grows in difficulty with an organization’s size and scope.
In keeping with Agile’s inherent “get it done” philosophy, organizations should consider some key steps to get their own Agile initiative moving.

Agile Myths and Pitfalls - 2020 (ver 0.8)Fabio Armani
This document discusses several common myths and misconceptions about agile methodology. It begins by explaining that agile values people-oriented approaches and self-organizing teams. It then addresses specific myths, such as the ideas that agile means no documentation, no planning, or no managers. For each myth, it provides details to explain why the myth is not accurate and summarizes the reality of agile practices. The overall document aims to clarify what agile does and does not entail for readers.
Software refers to a set of instructions given to a computer for it to work. The process of creating, designing, deploying and supporting the software through a set of activities or strategic themes is called Software Development. This process involves a number of methodologies/frameworks/sub-process that helps to simplify the complex activities involved in creating a product.
The Lean Learning Academy (LLA) is a 10-day immersive training program designed to teach lean thinking and practices. It aims to immediately apply learning to business projects through a 4-step process: select delegates and projects, engage in training, develop skills during a 100-day project, and sustain results. Learning is done through simulations, activities, and coaching. Evaluation uses the Kirkpatrick model to assess reaction, learning, behavior change, and organizational performance impact. The goal is for delegates to deliver tangible benefits through lean tools while developing internal coaching capabilities.
Agile is a set of principles for software development that values adaptive planning, evolutionary development, early delivery, and continuous improvement. It emphasizes individuals and interactions, working software, customer collaboration, and responding to change. The course aims to help participants understand Agile principles and practices to improve team productivity and customer satisfaction through transparent communication and embracing change. Attendees include project managers, developers, and customers seeking to adopt Agile methodologies like Scrum. The course covers Agile essentials, methodologies, planning, iterations, leadership, stakeholder engagement, quality, and exam preparation to instill confidence in managing dynamic projects.
Agile Software Development and DevOps 21092019Ahmed Misbah
This document provides an overview of Agile software development and DevOps. It begins with an introduction to software engineering principles. It then covers Agile concepts like values, principles and methods including Scrum, Kanban, and lean. Scrum roles, artifacts, and events are defined. Kanban and lean concepts like limiting work in progress and value streams are explained. Finally, DevOps is introduced as the convergence of development and operations to enable continuous delivery through automation. The document aims to give attendees a foundation in Agile and DevOps best practices for software development.
The document discusses five things to do before implementing Agile practices: 1) Identify the reasons for adopting Agile, 2) Inform and educate teams and the organization about Agile ways of working, 3) Define engineering practices to use, 4) Define a product backlog, and 5) Set a definition of done. It emphasizes understanding why an organization wants to adopt Agile and how Agile will benefit the organization. It also discusses communicating changes to working styles and focusing on developing working software iteratively.
This document provides a five step approach to adopting agility across an entire organization. The first step is to build agile skills in people by establishing an agile role progression and providing training tailored to different roles. The second step is to make the adoption agile itself by educating stakeholders, establishing accountable adoption teams, and launching pilot projects. The third step is to focus agility at different levels including focusing the product portfolio, releasing more frequently, and letting teams flow work independently. The fourth step is to not forget principles of innovation like using scrum patterns, the lean startup approach, and flexible budgeting frameworks. The final step is that frameworks are just tools and the core is to create a simple but reliable agile process.
Agile development is a software development methodology that prioritizes flexibility, collaboration, and customer satisfaction. It emerged as a response to the limitations of traditional, rigid development methodologies, such as the Waterfall model. Agile focuses on iterative and incremental development, allowing teams to respond quickly to changing requirements and deliver a product that meets the customer's needs. Here's a detailed description of Agile development:
Principles of Agile Development:
Individuals and Interactions Over Processes and Tools:
Agile emphasizes the importance of communication and collaboration among team members. While processes and tools are essential, the primary focus is on fostering effective human interactions.
Working Software Over Comprehensive Documentation:
Agile values a working product as the primary measure of progress. While documentation is necessary, the emphasis is on delivering a functional solution to the customer.
Customer Collaboration Over Contract Negotiation:
Agile promotes a collaborative approach with the customer throughout the development process. Rather than relying on fixed contracts, Agile teams engage in ongoing discussions to ensure the product aligns with customer expectations.
Responding to Change Over Following a Plan:
Agile recognizes that change is inevitable in software development. Instead of rigidly following a plan, Agile teams adapt to changing requirements, allowing for more flexibility and responsiveness.
Agile Methodologies:
Scrum:
Scrum is one of the most popular Agile frameworks. It organizes work into fixed-length iterations called sprints, typically lasting two to four weeks. The development team works collaboratively to deliver a potentially shippable product increment at the end of each sprint.
Kanban:
Kanban is a visual management method that emphasizes continuous delivery and flow of work. Work items are represented on a Kanban board, and teams pull work through different stages, focusing on limiting work in progress to enhance efficiency.
Extreme Programming (XP):
XP is an Agile methodology that emphasizes technical excellence and close collaboration between developers and customers. Practices include test-driven development, continuous integration, pair programming, and frequent releases.
Key Concepts in Agile Development:
User Stories:
Agile projects use user stories to describe features from an end user's perspective. These stories help prioritize development efforts and ensure that features align with customer needs.
Sprints:
In Scrum, development occurs in fixed-length iterations called sprints. Sprints provide a consistent and manageable timeframe for delivering incremental improvements to the product.
Product Backlog:
The product backlog is a prioritized list of features and tasks that need to be addressed in the project. It is dynamic and evolves as the project progresses.
Daily Stand-ups:
Daily stand-up meetings, or daily scrums, are brief, time-bo
Agile Network India | Distributed Agile Day @Gurugram | Distributed Agile – N...AgileNetwork
Abstract:
Necessity is a mother of all inventions, An age-old say but still true and can easily be mapped to all solutions for most of the problems. Similarly, do you think that Agile is a solution to all issues? Mayor may not be? it worked for few and failed for few. The retrospective is done for failures….. maybe they have not implemented it properly or they did……but other parameters like their team size were huge and the team is spread across geographies? Retrospectives/Continues improvement/Lessons learned resulted in Next-Gen Agile – Distributed Agile. Will it stop here? What is the Impact of AI and Automation on Agile teams?
Key Takeaways:
1. Agile – an oversold Word
2. Failures of Agile
3. Need for Distributed Agile
4. Next-Gen Agile
5. Impact of AI/Automation on Agile.
Agile Evangelist 22 - Freddie Quek - How Not To Do Agile Arrows_Group
This document provides an overview of lessons learned from Freddie Quek's experience implementing Agile practices at Wiley. Some key points:
- Quek has been using Agile since 1999 and leading Agile implementations at Wiley since 2009 involving teams as large as 150 people.
- Common mistakes include not making stand-ups quick and useful, not having retrospectives with action items, and treating remote teams differently.
- When starting a new project, an Agile assessment is helpful to understand the current process. Training, an Agile coach, and experienced practitioners can help teams learn Agile.
- For a large, important project at Wiley involving migrating an existing partnership to a new system, Quek
The CEO of Microsoft stated that every business will become a software business. Pacific Magazines lost its technology edge by solely focusing on print with no digital strategy for over a decade.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
