Study Notes
Agile Frameworks
Scrum
- Iterative and incremental framework for managing and completing complex projects
- Core values: Focus, Commitment, Courage, Openness, Respect
- Three roles:
- Product Owner: responsible for product backlog and prioritization
- Scrum Master: facilitates Scrum process and ensures team follows framework
- Development Team: develops and delivers working product increment
- Three artifacts:
- Product Backlog: prioritized list of features or requirements
- Sprint Backlog: set of tasks to be completed during a sprint
- Increment: sum of all product backlog items completed during a sprint
- Timeboxed sprints: 2-4 weeks, with daily Scrum meetings and sprint reviews
Kanban
- Visual system for managing work, emphasizing continuous flow and limiting WIP
- Core principles:
- Visualize the workflow
- Limit WIP
- Focus on flow
- Continuously improve
- Key elements:
- Board: visual representation of workflow
- Columns: stages of work (e.g., to-do, in-progress, done)
- Cards: individual tasks or items
- WIP limits: constraints on the number of tasks in each column
- No predefined roles or ceremonies, unlike Scrum
Work In Progress (WIP)
- Measure of the amount of work being processed at a given time
- Important in Agile frameworks, as it helps teams:
- Manage workload and capacity
- Identify bottlenecks and areas for improvement
- Make informed decisions about prioritization and resource allocation
- WIP limits:
- Help teams avoid overcommitting and reduce waste
- Encourage continuous flow and delivery of working products
- Enable teams to focus on a manageable amount of work at a time
