Agile - Scrum Process Model
By Ray Claridge
Core Scrum practices are:
- Backlog. Product, Release, Sprint Backlog - lists of all requested/required functionality for the product, release and sprint respectively. Product Owner/Manager responsible for the backlog management and maintenance.
- Iterative development.The whole project gets divided into sprints usually 2 to 4 weeks duration each. Sprints have fixed duration to enable regular deliveries and helps development teams to focus on a shippable product in the end of each sprint.
- Scrum meetings. Daily time boxed meetings where team members answers the following questions: What you did yesterday? What has impeded your work? What you plan to do today?
- Burn Down Charts. Scrum Sprint Burn Down chart shows implementation progress during a single sprint. It provides answers on the following questions: When sprint could be completed based on previous progress? What is the most possible scrum team Velocity in future sprints?
- Sprint review meeting. Provides an inspection of project progress at the end of the every Sprint. The goal is to improve development process by introducing new practices, changing existing practices, etc.
I am relatively new to Agile and learn new things every day. I have often came across the question: what is the difference between Scrum and Agile. Reading your articles is still hard for me to understand the difference. Could you please explain it, if you do not mind?
Thank you!
Hi Monica,
SCRUM is a methodology developed based on Agile principles(manifesto).There is no difference between Agile and SCRUM.
