The sole purpose of this presentation was to introduce Agile Scrum Methodology into our company. We were following sprints and agile methodology, but never planned it properly before this. A few months back, I recalled my days of working with Limewire and having few scrum masters in DigiMantra Labs. So we gave a little introduction and after that most of our teams are following this method. We now have 2 qualified Scrum Masters and counting.

anything
• To validate the system &
requirement

• To get tentative idea of the delivery
date and efforts required etc.
• To break complete software into
smaller entities

9. THE GAME
RELAY RACE & RUGBY
A single player passes the baton to
another player, who is responsible
for the sprint
A team passes ball to & fro to reach
a common goal. A perfect example
of collective effort
vs
Example from the book Essential Scrum by Kenneth S. Rubin

AGILE SCRUM PROCESS

19. DISADVANTAGES OF AGILE SCRUM
• In case of some software deliverables, especially the large ones, it is difficult to
assess the effort required at the beginning of the software development life cycle.
• There is lack of emphasis on necessary designing and documentation.
• The project can easily get taken off track if the customer representative is not clear
what final outcome that they want.
• Only senior programmers are capable of taking the kind of decisions required
during the development process. Hence it has no place for newbie programmers,
unless combined with experienced resources.
