    Study Notes

    Agile Scrum Methodology

    • Agile Scrum is a project management approach, initially for software development, now used for various product creation. It prioritizes customer needs.
    • Agile Scrum combines the overarching philosophy of Agile with the specific methodology of Scrum.

    Agile Philosophy

    • Agile is a broader philosophy, not a specific methodology. Its core values are:
      • Individuals and interactions over processes and tools (collaboration and adaptation)
      • Working software over comprehensive documentation (results over paperwork)
      • Customer collaboration over contract negotiation (people over processes)
      • Responding to change over following a plan (adaptability)
    • Agility is crucial in constantly evolving environments (software development and beyond).
    • Agile is valuable for adapting to uncertainty.

    Scrum Methodology

    • Scrum is the methodology used to implement Agile's philosophy, producing stakeholder-focused results.
    • Scrum employs a team approach, with key roles including:
      • Product Owner: Represents the client's vision, sets priorities, supervises development, and understands client needs.
      • Scrum Master: Guides and supports the development team, promotes best practices, and maintains focus.
      • Development Team: A group of specialists collaborating on the project, with diverse skills.
    • Projects are divided into short, manageable cycles called "sprints," typically 2-4 weeks in duration.

    Scrum Sprints

    • Sprints deliver demonstrable, valuable results for the customer. Sprints include four "ceremonies":
      • Sprint Planning: Discussing timelines, goals, and learning from previous sprints.
      • Daily Scrum: A daily meeting for team alignment, problem-solving, and progress tracking.
      • Sprint Review: Presenting progress, discussing successes/failures, and improving the process.
      • Sprint Retrospective: Gathering feedback on the previous sprint, identifying areas for improvement in future sprints.

    Scrum Benefits

    • Scrum's continuous cycles allow learning from successes and mitigating issues.
    • Scrum is ideal for:
      • Complex projects: Breaking down complex tasks into smaller, focused sprints.
      • Customer-focused companies: Developing products directly for customer feedback and preferences, improving through continuous collaboration with customers.
      • Companies prioritizing results: Delivering demonstrable outputs in each sprint, while adapting during iterations.
