An Introduction to Agile Frameworks

In today’s fast-paced and ever-evolving business landscape, agility is key to success. Agile frameworks help teams adapt quickly to change, deliver value continuously, and collaborate effectively.

In this video, we will explore the most popular Agile frameworks including, but not limited to:

Scrum

Scrum is a lightweight, iterative framework used to manage complex product development. It divides work into fixed-length iterations called sprints, usually lasting 2-4 weeks.

Scrum emphasizes roles, events, and artifacts to maintain structure and improve communication within the team. Key roles include the Scrum Master, Product Owner, and Development Team.

The primary goal is to deliver a potentially shippable product increment at the end of each sprint.

Kanban

Kanban is a visual management method used to track work as it progresses through a process. It uses a Kanban board with columns representing different stages of work, and cards representing work items.

The focus is on visualizing the flow of work, limiting work in progress (WIP), and optimizing flow to improve efficiency and throughput. Kanban encourages continuous delivery and incremental improvements.

Lean

Lean is a methodology that focuses on delivering maximum value to the customer by optimizing flow and minimizing waste.

It originated in manufacturing with the Toyota Production System but has since been adapted for software development and other industries.

Lean principles include delivering fast by managing flow, eliminating waste, continuous improvement, and respecting people. The goal is to create more value with less work.

Extreme Programming (XP)

Extreme Programming (XP) is a software development methodology designed to improve software quality and responsiveness to changing customer requirements. It emphasizes frequent releases in short development cycles to improve productivity and introduce checkpoints where new customer requirements can be adopted.

Key practices of XP include pair programming, test-driven development (TDD), continuous integration, and close collaboration with the customer. You will learn the basic ideas behind these frameworks. You will understand what makes them special. You will see how they can help you manage projects and develop products.
