Agility & Reality

More than 84% of organisations practice agile development

Another 13% plan to introduce agile in the next 12 months

Top 3 reasons are speed to market, manage changing business priorities, and better align business and IT

Over 80% use Scrum, a third combine this with other methods



Scrum

one of several agile methods

a simple iterative and incremental framework

a tool to gather feedback during product development

a continuous improvement system



Three Roles

Product owner: responsible for the business value of the project

ScrumMaster: ensures that the team is functional and productive

Team: self-organises to get the work done



Four CeremoniesSprint planning: the team meets with the product

owner to choose which items to deliver for a sprint

Daily scrum: the team meets each day to share struggles and progress

Sprint reviews: the team demonstrates to the product owner what it has completed

Sprint retrospectives: the team looks for ways to improve the product and the process



Three ArtefactsProduct backlog: ordered list of ideas for the

product

Sprint backlog: set of work from the product backlog that the team agrees to complete in a

sprint, broken into tasks

Product increment: required result of every sprint. It is an integrated version of the product, kept at high enough quality to be

shippable.Copyright © 2008-2013 Cow Consulting Ltd.
