Agile Methodology Introduction

Description

Agile is a set of values and practices for delivering work in short cycles, and this course introduces it in ten PDF lessons. It starts with the fundamentals and the Agile Manifesto, then compares Agile with traditional project management.

You read about the Scrum framework, including its roles, ceremonies and artifacts, and about sprint planning and backlog management. Further lessons cover daily stand-ups, sprint reviews and retrospectives, Extreme Programming practices and lean software development principles. The final lesson looks at applying Agile beyond software. The PDFs include a checklist and a few exercises. After reading, you should be able to explain how a Scrum team works and decide which practices suit your own projects.
