What is Agile? Agile is the ability to adapt to changes as fast or faster than changes occur. Agile is an umbrella term for a set of values, principals and practices that have been shown to improve the efficiency, productivity, and quality of software delivery. The Agile Manifesto was written  In 2001, a group of 17 “lightweight” methodologists met Including Representative of  eXtreme Programming (XP)  Scrum  DSDM Adaptive Software Development Agile Manifesto
The Agile Manifesto We are uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and helping others do it. Individuals and interactions over processes and tools Working software over comprehensive documentation Customer collaboration over contract negotiation Responding to change over following a plan That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more. Source: www.agilemanifesto.org
Agile Manifesto – Graphical Representation Individuals and Interactions Processes and Tools Working Software Comprehensive Documentation Customer Collaboration Contract Negotiation Responding to Change Following a Plan "Agile" | | | | | | | | Traditional Agility is a relative term
 Focus on empowered, self-managing teams;  Autonomous teams do not need the day-to-day intervention of management  Management protects team from outside interference  Agile teams are composed of a mix of skills  Agile team members are able to step in for each other as necessary Individuals And Interactions Over Processes And Tools
 Traditionally we measure progress by the percent complete of the functional milestones  Agile teams provide actual working product as a status report, “product review”  Design changes as the system is built, results in outdated documentation  Agile teams prefer face-to-face communication over documentation because it is simpler, faster, and more reliable. Working Software over Comprehensive Documentation
 Contract negotiation, Identify and define everything and spells out the payment and date specifications  Customers become a part of the development process  Writing specs down and throwing them over the fence is simply not effective Customer Collaboration over Contract Negotiation
 It’s much easier to respond to change when the organization and the customer share a clear understanding of the project’s status  In plan-driven environments, all requirements are specified up front, broken down to the task level and estimated  Agile plans follow more of a rolling wave approach using top- down planning Responding to Change over Following a Plan
What is Agile? • An iterative and incremental (evolutionary) approach performed in a highly collaborative manner with just the right amount of ceremony to produce high quality software in a cost effective and timely manner which meets the changing needs of its stakeholders. • Core principles – ―Fits just right‖ process – Continuous testing and validation – Consistent team collaboration – Rapid response to change – Ongoing customer involvement – Frequent delivery of working software
1. Satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery 2. Welcome changing requirements 3. Deliver frequently, preferring a shorter timescale 4. Business & technical work together daily 5. Pick the right team & trust them 6. Face-to-Face Communication 7. Working software is the primary measure of progress 8. Sustainable pace 9. Technical excellence and good design enhances agility 10. Simplicity, maximizing the amount of work not done 11. Best results emerge from self- organizing teams 12. The team regularly reflects to become more effective 12 Agile Principles

Scrum Process (Deemer, Benefield, Larman, & Vodde, 2010, p.5).
Business Benefits
Incremental over Big Bang • Agile welcomes changes. The product owner has a chance to change the course every sprint. – For a company who develop software products, you can add features in the middle of development for your product to be highly competitive in the market. – For a company who develop in-house software, you can add and prioritize features with high business value • Agile discover issues at earlier stage of the development thus improve quality • Agile ships builds every end of sprints thus create transparency and shortens the feedback loop
Waterfall Vs. Agile Methodology PMI’s framework is based on a waterfall methodology, while the ScrumMaster Certification is based on Agile. Both of these methodologies comprise very different approaches to software development. Waterfall Methodologies • Waterfall Methodologies feature distinct planning, development, and testing phases. • Software development projects are heavily planned during the planning stage, where little to no code is completed • During the build (development, or execution) phase, the product of the project is built. • Any changes to product design are normally handled by change requests to the original project plan • After the build phase is completed, products are tested during a comprehensive testing phase. Clients (or customers) do not normally receive the finished product until all work on the project has been completed and delivered Agile Methodologies • Agile methodologies feature iterative development phases • Product features are gathered and prioritized in a backlog of features • Scrum teams take on development of product features during sprints, where they are designed, constructed, and tested – normally during a two- week period • After the sprint, features emerge as deliverable product • Clients are presented completed features from an individual sprint during a sprint demo • Product changes may not take place during sprints, but they are accepted at any other time, so products are constructed organically
Traditional (Waterfall) Incremental Releases Agile Big Bang Release This is the only time the project visible to the customer S P R I N T S P R I N T S P R I N T S P R I N T Jan Feb Mar AprJan Feb Mar Apr
Increase Business Value • Agile improves the process through regular retrospect • Agile increases customer satisfaction and confidence to the product • Agile builds trust and relationship with customer through regular and open communication • Agile improves the quality of the product • Agile shortens time to market • Agile reduces Risk
Output over Theory • Agile is focused more in communication with the team and the product owner to understand the customer requirements instead of documentation • Agile is focused on bridging the communication gap between team members because feedback loop is much shorter • Agile discovers issues before it strikes • Agile can start the project with minimal documentation
In agile processes, the feedback loop is much shorter and more frequent, so problems get discovered quickly. Communication between the team and product owner is always open.
Faster Delivery Faster ROI • Less Management Overhead • Increase efficiency of the team results to lesser cost • Product Owners could throttle the budget without sacrificing high valued features • Quality output results to low maintenance and downtime • Agile does not recommend Over Time results to low operation cost • Shorten time to market thus increase revenue and help position the product in the market. • Agile increase competitive edge of the product in the market • Agile produces Happy developers = productive developers = less turn over

Session 2: Essentials of Scrum
SCRUM is… • Scrum is an agile, lightweight process that can be used to manage and control software and product development using iterative, incremental practices • Wrapping existing engineering practices, including Extreme Programming and RUP, Scrum generates the benefits of agile development with the advantages of a simple implementation • It is adaptive, quick, self-organizing and have few rests ..process framework, not methodology
Why SCRUM It is HOT! • It’s work and simple. • More practical (practical process model). • A rule of thumb or best practices for process inspection and continue adaptation.
Scrum Characteristics • Scrum is an agile process that allows us to focus on delivering the highest business value in the shortest time. • Every sprint (two weeks to a month) anyone can see real working software. • The business sets the priorities. Teams self-organize to determine the best way to deliver the highest priority features. • Requirements are captured as items in a list of product backlog • Product progresses in a series of month-long “sprints” • Activities for the team are captured as tasks in a list of sprint backlog • No specific engineering practices prescribed • One of the ―agile processes‖ Robert de

The Role of the ScrumMaster • The ScrumMaster does everything in their power to help the team achieve success • This includes: – Serving the team – Protecting the team – Guiding the team’s use of Scrum
What the Scrum Master Does • Serves the team – The Scrum Master takes action to help remove impediments to the team’s effectiveness – The Scrum Master facilitates the team’s group interactions, to help the team achieve its full potential • Protects the team – The Scrum Master protects the team from anything that threatens its effectiveness, such as outside interference or disruption – The Scrum Master will need to confront uncomfortable issues, both inside and outside the team • Guiding the team’s use of Scrum – The Scrum Master teaches Scrum to the team and organization – The Scrum Master ensures that all standard Scrum rules and practices are followed – The Scrum Master organizes all Scrum-related practices

Product Backlog Product Owner lists items in descending order of priority (highest priority item is listed first, next-highest is second, etc.) Size estimates are rough estimates (can either be arbitrary “points”, or “ideal days”)
Product Backlog • List of everything that could ever be of value to the business for the team to produce • Ranked in order of priority – Priority is a function of business value versus risk • Product Owner can make any changes they want before the start of a Sprint Planning Meeting – Items added, changed, removed, reordered • How much documentation is up to the team and Product Owner to decide • The farther down the list, the bigger and less defined the items become – ~2 Sprints worth are defined in detail

Sprint Planning Meeting • Takes place before the start of every Sprint • Team decides how much Product Backlog it will commit to complete by the end of the Sprint, and comes up with a plan and list of tasks for how to achieve it • What’s a good commitment? – Clearly understood by all – Shared among the team – Achievable without sacrificing quality – Achievable without sacrificing sustainable pace • Attended by Team, Product Owner, ScrumMaster, Stakeholders • May require 1-2 hours for each week of Sprint duration – 2 week Sprint = 2-4 hours, 4 week Sprint = 4-8 hours
The Sprint Backlog
Daily Scrum Meeting • Every weekday • Whole team attends • Everyone stands • Lasts 15 minutes or less • Everyone reports 3 things only to each other – What was I able to accomplish since last meeting – What will I try to accomplish by next meeting – What is blocking me • No discussion, conversation until meeting ends • Product Owner can attend and report • Update of artifacts after standup
Updating the Sprint Backlog • Before or after the Daily Scrum, team members update the hours remaining on the Sprint Backlog

    What is Agile? Agileis the ability to adapt to changes as fast or faster than changes occur. Agile is an umbrella term for a set of values, principals and practices that have been shown to improve the efficiency, productivity, and quality of software delivery. The Agile Manifesto was written  In 2001, a group of 17 “lightweight” methodologists met Including Representative of  eXtreme Programming (XP)  Scrum  DSDM Adaptive Software Development Agile Manifesto
  • 5.
    The Agile Manifesto Weare uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and helping others do it. Individuals and interactions over processes and tools Working software over comprehensive documentation Customer collaboration over contract negotiation Responding to change over following a plan That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more.

  • 7.
     Focus onempowered, self-managing teams;  Autonomous teams do not need the day-to-day intervention of management  Management protects team from outside interference  Agile teams are composed of a mix of skills  Agile team members are able to step in for each other as necessary Individuals And Interactions Over Processes And Tools
  • 8.
     Traditionally wemeasure progress by the percent complete of the functional milestones  Agile teams provide actual working product as a status report, “product review”  Design changes as the system is built, results in outdated documentation  Agile teams prefer face-to-face communication over documentation because it is simpler, faster, and more reliable. Working Software over Comprehensive Documentation

     Contract negotiation,Identify and define everything and spells out the payment and date specifications  Customers become a part of the development process  Writing specs down and throwing them over the fence is simply not effective Customer Collaboration over Contract Negotiation
  • 10.
     It’s mucheasier to respond to change when the organization and the customer share a clear understanding of the project’s status  In plan-driven environments, all requirements are specified up front, broken down to the task level and estimated  Agile plans follow more of a rolling wave approach using top- down planning Responding to Change over Following a Plan

    What is Agile? •An iterative and incremental (evolutionary) approach performed in a highly collaborative manner with just the right amount of ceremony to produce high quality software in a cost effective and timely manner which meets the changing needs of its stakeholders. • Core principles – ―Fits just right‖ process – Continuous testing and validation – Consistent team collaboration – Rapid response to change – Ongoing customer involvement – Frequent delivery of working software

    1. Satisfy thecustomer through early and continuous delivery 2. Welcome changing requirements 3. Deliver frequently, preferring a shorter timescale 4. Business & technical work together daily 5. Pick the right team & trust them 6. Face-to-Face Communication 7. Working software is the primary measure of progress 8. Sustainable pace 9. Technical excellence and good design enhances agility 10. Simplicity, maximizing the amount of work not done 11. Best results emerge from self- organizing teams 12. The team regularly reflects to become more effective 12 Agile Principles

    Incremental over BigBang • Agile welcomes changes. The product owner has a chance to change the course every sprint. – For a company who develop software products, you can add features in the middle of development for your product to be highly competitive in the market. – For a company who develop in-house software, you can add and prioritize features with high business value • Agile discover issues at earlier stage of the development thus improve quality • Agile ships builds every end of sprints thus create transparency and shortens the feedback loop
  • 19.
    Waterfall Vs. AgileMethodology PMI’s framework is based on a waterfall methodology, while the ScrumMaster Certification is based on Agile. Both of these methodologies comprise very different approaches to software development. Waterfall Methodologies • Waterfall Methodologies feature distinct planning, development, and testing phases. • Software development projects are heavily planned during the planning stage, where little to no code is completed • During the build (development, or execution) phase, the product of the project is built. • Any changes to product design are normally handled by change requests to the original project plan • After the build phase is completed, products are tested during a comprehensive testing phase. Clients (or customers) do not normally receive the finished product until all work on the project has been completed and delivered Agile Methodologies • Agile methodologies feature iterative development phases • Product features are gathered and prioritized in a backlog of features • Scrum teams take on development of product features during sprints, where they are designed, constructed, and tested – normally during a two- week period • After the sprint, features emerge as deliverable product • Clients are presented completed features from an individual sprint during a sprint demo • Product changes may not take place during sprints, but they are accepted at any other time, so products are constructed organically

    Increase Business Value •Agile improves the process through regular retrospect • Agile increases customer satisfaction and confidence to the product • Agile builds trust and relationship with customer through regular and open communication • Agile improves the quality of the product • Agile shortens time to market • Agile reduces Risk
  • 22.
    Output over Theory •Agile is focused more in communication with the team and the product owner to understand the customer requirements instead of documentation • Agile is focused on bridging the communication gap between team members because feedback loop is much shorter • Agile discovers issues before it strikes • Agile can start the project with minimal documentation
  • 23.
    In agile processes,the feedback loop is much shorter and more frequent, so problems get discovered quickly. Communication between the team and product owner is always open.
  • 24.
    Faster Delivery FasterROI • Less Management Overhead • Increase efficiency of the team results to lesser cost • Product Owners could throttle the budget without sacrificing high valued features • Quality output results to low maintenance and downtime • Agile does not recommend Over Time results to low operation cost • Shorten time to market thus increase revenue and help position the product in the market. • Agile increase competitive edge of the product in the market • Agile produces Happy developers = productive developers = less turn over

    SCRUM is… • Scrumis an agile, lightweight process that can be used to manage and control software and product development using iterative, incremental practices • Wrapping existing engineering practices, including Extreme Programming and RUP, Scrum generates the benefits of agile development with the advantages of a simple implementation • It is adaptive, quick, self-organizing and have few rests ..process framework, not methodology
  • 29.
    Why SCRUM It isHOT! • It’s work and simple. • More practical (practical process model). • A rule of thumb or best practices for process inspection and continue adaptation.
  • 30.
    Scrum Characteristics • Scrumis an agile process that allows us to focus on delivering the highest business value in the shortest time. • Every sprint (two weeks to a month) anyone can see real working software. • The business sets the priorities. Teams self-organize to determine the best way to deliver the highest priority features. • Requirements are captured as items in a list of product backlog • Product progresses in a series of month-long “sprints” • Activities for the team are captured as tasks in a list of sprint backlog • No specific engineering practices prescribed • One of the ―agile processes‖ Robert de
