Scrum is an agile framework that focuses on rapid delivery of working software in short cycles called sprints. It consists of self-organizing cross-functional teams, regular sprints with daily stand-ups, and artifacts like a product backlog, sprint backlog, and burn-down charts. The product owner prioritizes the backlog, the scrum master facilitates the process, and teams work to complete items in sprints usually 2-4 weeks long. Scrum enables rapid, flexible response to change through inspection and adaptation at the end of each sprint.
Agile is an iterative approach to software development that builds software incrementally from the start of the project. It breaks projects into small user functionality pieces called user stories that are prioritized and continuously delivered in short two week sprints. Popular agile methodologies include Scrum, Extreme Programming, Crystal, Dynamic System Development Method, Lean, Kanban, and Feature-Driven Development. Scrum uses product owners, cross-functional teams, and sprints to deliver potentially shippable increments. Extreme Programming emphasizes close customer involvement and rapid, frequent delivery of working software.

Popular frameworks include SAFe for large enterprises, LeSS for multiple teams, Scrum of Scrums, Scrum@Scale, and DAD's toolkit approach. Kanban also provides visualization and flow techniques. Adoption focuses on productivity gains while transformation changes culture and structures over years.
An Agile Software Development FrameworkWaqas Tariq
Agility in software projects can be attained when software development methodologies attain to external factors and provide a framework internally for keeping software development projects focused. Developer practices are the most important factor that has to cope with the challenges. Agile development assumes a project context where the customer is actively collaborating with the development team. The greatest problem agile teams face is too little involvement from the customer. For a project to be agile, the developers have to cope with this lack of collaboration. Embracing changing requirements is not enough to make agile methods cope with business and technology changes. This paper provides a conceptual framework for tailoring agile methodologies to face different challenges. The framework is comprised of three factors, namely, developer practices, customer collaboration, and predicting change

… This short article, Sorting Out SDLC Terminology, attempts to clarify some of the confusion
surrounding SDLC terminology used today in the field of project management. In several
paragraphs, explain (1) what, if anything, the article helped clarify for you; and (2) what you
might like to explore further based on the information provided ...
the article
http://testdog.com/knowhow/Sorting%20Out%20SDLC.html
Acronym for system development life cycle. SDLC is the process of developing information
systems through investigation, analysis, design, implementation and maintenance. SDLC is also
known asinformation systems development or application development. SDLC is a systems
approach to problem solving and is made up of several phases, each comprised of multiple steps:
The software concept - identifies and defines a need for the new system
A requirements analysis - analyzes the information needs of the end users
The architectural design - creates a blueprint for the design with the necessary specifications for
the hardware, software, people and data resources
Coding and debugging - creates and programs the final system
System testing - evaluates the system\'s actual functionality in relation to expected or intended
functionality.
Sorting Out SDLC Terminology
We’ve probably all seen the job postings with a “required skills” line item that reads something
like the following:
Must be expert in a variety of software development methodologies including SDLC, RUP, XP,
PMP, Agile, Waterfall, Spiral, SEI, PMI, CMMI, PIMBOC, and Scrum.
To which, you might reply, “What are they talking about?”
Clearly, there are people in HR and recruiting (and I know some in development) who are
confused about software development methodologies, their names, acronyms, meanings, and
relationships to one another. Let’s try to sort this out a bit.
Untangling the terminology
To begin, many of the terms listed above are not SDLCs. The term SDLC is an acronym that
stands for Software Development Life Cycle (as well as System Design Life Cycle, System
Development Life Cycle and Synchronous Data Link Control). SDLC is used as a generic
umbrella term for any number of software development methodologies.
SDLC by itself is not a methodology. When the term SDLC shows up in a list of methodologies,
it is a clear indicator that the person who wrote this is confused about what it really means.
The internet American Heritage dictionary gives us the following definition for methodology:
-A body of practices, procedures, and rules used by those who work in a discipline or engage in
an inquiry; a set of working methods: the methodology of genetic studies; a poll marred by faulty
methodology.
Some of the SDLCs listed above do not claim to be methodologies. To be more accurate, an
SDLC is anapproach to managing a software deve.

Comparative study on agile software development: Software development methodologies are constantly evolving due to changing technologies and new demands from users. Today’s dynamic business environment has given rise to emergent organizations that continuously adapt their structures, strategies, and policies to suit the new environment[12]. Such organizations need information systems that constantly evolve to meet their changing requirements. Though traditional software development methodologies, such as life cyclebased structured and object oriented approaches, continue to dominate the systems development few decades and much research has done in traditional methodologies, Agile software development brings its own set of novel challenges that must be addressed to satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of the valuable software. It’s a set of best practice that allows rapid delivery of high quality software to meet customer needs and also accommodate changes in the requirements.[13] Traditional, plan-driven software development methodologies lack the flexibility to dynamically adjust the development process. Agile development is the ability to develop software quickly keeping pace with the rapidly changing requirements. We speculate that from the need to satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of the valuable software, Agile software development is emerged. In this paper, we provide a brief comparison of agile development methodologies with traditional systems development methodologies, and discuss the challenges of adopting agile methodologies. A number of software development methods such as extreme programming (XP), feature-driven development, crystal clear method, scrum, dynamic systems development, and adaptive software development are also briefly discussed in this paper.
The document discusses agile project management and various agile methodologies. It begins with explaining the need for agile approaches due to changes in how work gets done. It then provides background on agile origins and principles. Specific methodologies like Scrum are outlined, including Scrum roles, events, and processes. Other agile methods like XP, Crystal, FDD are also referenced. The document aims to introduce agile concepts at a high-level.
This document provides an overview of several agile frameworks and methodologies including Scrum, Extreme Programming (XP), Dynamic Systems Development Method (DSDM), Feature Driven Development (FDD), Crystal family of methodologies, Adaptive Software Development (ASD), Pragmatic Programming, Kanban, Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe), Disciplined Agile Delivery (DAD), Large-Scale Scrum (LESS), and Pattern Languages of Programs (PLoP). It describes the key concepts, principles, roles, and practices of each agile methodology at a high level.
This document summarizes the results of an online survey about factors influencing the adoption of agile practices. The survey received 103 responses. Based on the results, the authors hypothesized that: 1) Extreme Programming is the most popular adopted agile methodology. 2) Agile methodologies are chosen more by small teams. 3) Direct interaction with stakeholders is the most effective way to gather requirements. 4) User stories and diagrams are commonly used to capture requirements in agile. 5) Agile gives higher access to stakeholders to resolve problems quickly. 6) Adopting agile increases customer satisfaction and productivity.

The document discusses the role of the product owner in Scrum projects based on a study comparing the theoretical role to actual practices. It finds that while Scrum is commonly used for software development, product owners' understanding of their responsibilities differs between organizations and does not always align with the official Scrum method. In some cases, projects have two product owners - one for business aspects and another for technical. The study aimed to shed light on how Scrum is applied in practice regarding the product owner's role.
It concentrate on the development rather than managerial ascepts of software projects.
XP was designed so that organization would be free to adopt all or part of the methodology.
XP projects start with a release planning phase,followed by several iteration ,each of which concludes with user acceptance testing.
When the product has enough features to satisfy users, the team termination iteration and release the software.

From Natural Language to Structured Solr Queries using LLMsSease
This talk draws on experimentation to enable AI applications with Solr. One important use case is to use AI for better accessibility and discoverability of the data: while User eXperience techniques, lexical search improvements, and data harmonization can take organizations to a good level of accessibility, a structural (or “cognitive” gap) remains between the data user needs and the data producer constraints.
That is where AI – and most importantly, Natural Language Processing and Large Language Model techniques – could make a difference. This natural language, conversational engine could facilitate access and usage of the data leveraging the semantics of any data source.
The objective of the presentation is to propose a technical approach and a way forward to achieve this goal.
The key concept is to enable users to express their search queries in natural language, which the LLM then enriches, interprets, and translates into structured queries based on the Solr index’s metadata.
This approach leverages the LLM’s ability to understand the nuances of natural language and the structure of documents within Apache Solr.
The LLM acts as an intermediary agent, offering a transparent experience to users automatically and potentially uncovering relevant documents that conventional search methods might overlook. The presentation will include the results of this experimental work, lessons learned, best practices, and the scope of future work that should improve the approach and make it production-ready.
Getting the Most Out of ScyllaDB Monitoring: ShareChat's TipsScyllaDB
ScyllaDB monitoring provides a lot of useful information. But sometimes it’s not easy to find the root of the problem if something is wrong or even estimate the remaining capacity by the load on the cluster. This talk shares our team's practical tips on: 1) How to find the root of the problem by metrics if ScyllaDB is slow 2) How to interpret the load and plan capacity for the future 3) Compaction strategies and how to choose the right one 4) Important metrics which aren’t available in the default monitoring setup.
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
ScyllaDB is making a major architecture shift. We’re moving from vNode replication to tablets – fragments of tables that are distributed independently, enabling dynamic data distribution and extreme elasticity. In this keynote, ScyllaDB co-founder and CTO Avi Kivity explains the reason for this shift, provides a look at the implementation and roadmap, and shares how this shift benefits ScyllaDB users.
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

3. Agile Software Development
Introduction
Agile software development is 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.
4. Scrum is a lightweight agile project management framework
with broad applicability for managing and controlling iterative
and incremental projects of all types. Ken Schwaber, Mike
Beedle, Jeff Sutherland and others have contributed
significantly to the evolution of Scrum over the last decade.
Scrum has garnered increasing popularity in the agile software
development community due to its simplicity, proven
productivity, and ability to act as a wrapper for various
engineering practices promoted by other agile methodologies.
5. Lean Software Development is an iterative agile
methodology originally developed by Mary and Tom
Poppendieck. Lean Software Development owes much of its
principles and practices to the Lean Enterprise movement,
and the practices of companies like Toyota.
The main principles of Lean methodology include:
•Eliminating Waste
•Amplifying Learning
•Deciding as Late as Possible
•Delivering as Fast as Possible
•Empowering the Team
•Building Integrity In
•Seeing the Whole
6. XP, originally described by Kent Beck, has
emerged as one of the most popular and
controversial agile methodologies. XP is a
disciplined approach to delivering high-quality
software quickly and continuously. It promotes
high customer involvement, rapid feedback loops,
continuous testing, continuous planning, and close
teamwork to deliver working software at very
frequent intervals, typically every 1-3 weeks.
7. The original XP recipe is based on four simple values €“
simplicity, communication, feedback, and courage €“and
twelve supporting practices:
Planning Game
Small Releases
Customer Acceptance Tests
Simple Design
Pair Programming
Test-Driven Development
Refactoring
Continuous Integration
Collective Code Ownership
Coding Standards
Metaphor
Sustainable Pace
8. Crystal Methodology
The Crystal methodology is one of the most lightweight,
adaptable approaches to software development. Crystal is
actually comprised of a family of agile methodologies
such as Crystal Clear, Crystal Yellow, Crystal Orange and
others, whose unique characteristics are driven by several
factors such as team size, system criticality, and project
priorities. This Crystal family addresses the realization
that each project may require a slightly tailored set of
policies, practices, and processes in order to meet the
project ‘s unique characteristic.
9. Dynamic Systems Development Method (DSDM)
DSDM, dating back to 1994, grew out of the need to provide
an industry standard project delivery framework for what was
referred to as Rapid Application Development (RAD) at the
time. While RAD was extremely popular in the early 1990 ‘s,
the RAD approach to software delivery evolved in a fairly
unstructured manner.
10. Feature-Driven Development (FDD)
The FDD variant of agile methodology was originally
developed and articulated by Jeff De Luca, with contributions
by M.A. Rajashima, Lim Bak Wee, Paul Szego, Jon Kern and
Stephen Palmer. The first incarnations of FDD occurred as a
result of collaboration between De Luca and OOD thought
leader Peter Coad. FDD is a model-driven, short-iteration
process. It begins with establishing an overall model shape.
11. The features are small, “useful in the eyes of the client” results.
FDD designs the rest of the development process around
feature delivery using the following eight practices:
Domain Object Modeling
Developing by Feature
Component/Class Ownership
Feature Teams
Inspections
Configuration Management
Regular Builds
Visibility of progress and results
