The document discusses agile project management and compares it to the traditional approach. It outlines the key phases and characteristics of the Scrum framework, an agile method for managing iterative development projects. Scrum uses short "sprints" to iteratively develop software in increments, with daily stand-ups and involvement from customers and stakeholders. At the end of each sprint, completed work is reviewed and new work is planned for the next sprint. Scrum provides flexibility to adapt the project as requirements change compared to the traditional sequential approach.

2. AGILE VS TRADITIONAL METHOD
A quick
comparison....follows

3. TRADITIONAL METHOD....
Provides a structured
framework in which it
operates....
5 key steps are...

5. AGILE APPROACH...
 The same traditional steps are performed, but
multiple iterations are used
Iteration 1
Iteration 2
Iteration 3
…

7. WHEN TO USE TRADITIONAL APPROACH....??
 •When a project is relatively familiar
 •The goal and solution are easy to identify
 •The scope and deliverables are clear

8. AGILE APPROACH CAN BE USED ...
 When dealing with unfamiliar territory
 •The solution itself is unknown
 •There are several possible outcomes

9. THE SCRUM
 Its approach is a general agile method but its
focus is on managing iterative development.
 Scrum does not prescribe the use of
programming practices such as pair
programming and test-first development.
 It can be used with more technical agile
approaches, such as XP, to provide a
management framework for the project

10. PHASES IN SCRUM....
There are three phases in Scrum.
 The first is an outline planning phase where you
establish the general objectives for the project and
design the software architecture.
 This is followed by a series of sprint cycles, where
each cycle develops an increment of the system.
 Finally, the project closure phase wraps up the
project, completes required documentation such as
system help frames and user manuals, and
assesses the lessons learned from the project.

12.  The innovative feature of Scrum is its
central phase, namely the sprint cycles.
 A Scrum sprint is a planning unit in which the
work to be done is assessed, features are
selected for development, and the software is
implemented.
 At the end of a sprint, the completed
functionality is delivered to stakeholders.

13. KEY CHARACTERISTICS
OF THE PROCESS ARE AS FOLLOWS:
1. Sprints are fixed length, normally 2–4 weeks. They
correspond to the development of a release of the
system in XP.
2. The starting point for planning is the product
backlog, which is the list of work to be done on the
project. During the assessment phase of the sprint,
this is reviewed, and priorities and risks are
assigned. The customer is closely involved in this
process and can introduce new requirements or
tasks at the beginning of each sprint.

14. 3. The selection phase involves all of the project team
who work with the customer to select the features
and functionality to be developed during the sprint.

15. 4. Once these are agreed, the team organizes
themselves to develop the software. Short daily
meetings involving all team members are held to
review progress and if necessary, reprioritize work.
During this stage the team is isolated from the
customer and the organization, with all
communications channelled through the so-called
‘Scrum master’. The role of the Scrum master is to
protect the development team from external
distractions. The way in which the work is done
depends on the problem and the team. Unlike XP,
Scrum does not make specific suggestions on how
to write requirements, test-first development, etc.
However, these XP practices can be used if the
team thinks they are appropriate.

16. 5. At the end of the sprint, the work done is reviewed
and presented to stakeholders.
The next sprint cycle then begins.

17. QUIZ QUESTION....
1.Draw the diagram of phases in scrum.
Ans. Pg 73 of soft copy of text book. Fig 3.8. slide no 11
2. Difference between traditional method $ agile
method.Which method can be implemented? justify
Ans. Slide 3 and 5 + your answer .
3.What is Product backlog & Sprint Backlog?
Ans. Product backlog is maintained by the project owner
which contains every feature and requirement of the
product. Sprint backlog can be treated as subset of
product backlog which contains features and
requirements related to that particular sprint only
