Agile Practices

A Comprehensive Overview of Key Agile


Practices and Principles
What is Agile?

• Agile is a flexible and iterative approach to project


management and software development. It focuses
on delivering value incrementally, enabling teams to
respond to feedback and adapt to changes quickly.
Agile Principles

1. Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer through


the early and continuous delivery of valuable software.
2. Welcome changing requirements, even late in
development. Agile processes harness change for the
customer’s competitive advantage.
3. Deliver working software frequently, from a couple of
weeks to a couple of months, with a preference to the
shorter timescale.
4. Business people and developers must work together
daily throughout the project.
5. Build projects around motivated individuals. Give them
the environment and support they need, and trust them
to get the job done.
6. The most efficient and effective method of conveying
information to and within a development team is face-to-
face conversation.
Agile Principles

7. Working software is the primary measure of progress.


8. Agile processes promote sustainable development. The sponsors,
developers, and users should be able to maintain a constant pace
indefinitely.
9. Continuous attention to technical excellence and good design enhances
agility.
10.Simplicity–the art of maximizing the amount of work not done–is
essential.
11. The best architectures, requirements, and designs emerge from self-
organizing teams.
12.At regular intervals, the team reflects on how to become more effective,
then tunes and adjusts its behavior accordingly.
Agile vs. Waterfall

• Agile: Focuses on the iterative development process


within the software development lifecycle (SDLC),
enabling teams to adapt quickly to user feedback.
• DevOps: Emphasizes a linear and sequential
development approach, where each phase
(requirements, design, implementation, testing, and
maintenance) is completed before moving to the
next, making it less flexible to changes.

Core Agile Methodologies

1. Scrum: Framework for managing work in structured sprints.


2. Kanban: Visual workflow management using boards.
3. Extreme Programming
Scrum

• Scrum organizes work into structured roles,


ceremonies, and artifacts. Key roles include Product
Owner, Scrum Master, and Development Team,
while ceremonies include Daily Standups, Sprint
Reviews, and Sprint Retrospectives.
Scrum
Scrum
• When it comes to software development, a scrum can be characterized
by developers putting their heads together to address complex problems.
• Scrum software development starts with a wish list of features — a.k.a. a product
backlog. The team meets to discuss:
• The backlog.
• What still needs to be completed.
• How long it will take.
• Scrum relies on an agile software development concept called sprints:
• Sprints are periods of time when software development is actually done.
• A sprint usually lasts from one week to one month to complete an item from
the backlog.
• The goal of each sprint is to create a saleable product.
• Each sprint ends with a sprint review.
• Then the team chooses another piece of backlog to develop — which starts a
new sprint.
• Sprints continue until the project deadline or the project budget is spent.
Scrum
• In daily scrums, teams meet to discuss their progress since the previous meeting
and make plans for that day.
• The meetings should be brief — no longer than 15 minutes.
• Each team member needs to be present and prepared.
• The ScrumMaster keeps the team focused on the goal.
Kanban
• Kanban emphasizes managing workflows visually and continuously
optimizing for efficiency. Work items move through stages (e.g., To Do,
In Progress, Done) displayed on a Kanban board.
Extreme Programming

• Extreme Programming (XP) is an Agile software development


methodology that focuses on delivering high-quality software through
frequent and continuous feedback, collaboration, and adaptation. XP
emphasizes a close working relationship between the development
team, the customer, and stakeholders, with an emphasis on rapid,
iterative development and deployment.
Conclusion

• Agile practices foster adaptability, collaboration, and


incremental improvements, making it ideal for
dynamic and complex projects.
