The Complete Scrum Master Course

What is agile?

The actual definition of agile is found in the agile manifesto – The manifesto makes it clear that agile is not a Methodology It is not specific way of developing software And it is not a framework or process Agile is a set of values and principles Much of the discussion around agile has to do with following different practices, using various methodologies and even developing with specific tools, whilst these things might help with a team that is trying to follow agile, they aren’t agile in of themselves.

Look at this first team example – they may find that having a daily stand up meeting is helpful, the stand up is only agile to the extent that it is the result of a team following the agile principle and values. When you understand this, it is really easy to see that agile is a collection of beliefs that teams can use for making decisions, about how to do the work of developing software; this means the term agile gets subjected to a large amount of backlash, when people claim that this or that is the correct way to be agile.

In understanding what agile really is, you’ll be surprised to know how flexible it truly is.

What is Scrum?

In scrum there are three key roles that are needed for the framework to work well.

1. The product owner – this is the person responsible for defining the features that are needed in the product. The product owner has the innovative ideas that turn into products

2. The scrum master – is a servant leader to the team, responsible for protecting the team and the process, running the meetings and keeping things going

3. The team – can be made up pf developers, testers, writers and anyone else that helps in building the product Team members often play multiple roles, some days developers end up doing test or testers may end up doing writing, either way; the team works to get the product done.
