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
