Software Development

Agile software development is an umbrella term for a set of frameworks and practices. In addition, it focuses on the values and principles expressed in the Manifesto for Agile Software Development and the 12 Principles behind it.

Agile team roles

The scrum master

• Firstly, is a facilitative servant leader who helps the team stay true to their practices so they can make and meet commitments.
• Secondly, enable close cooperation across all roles and functions

The product owner

• First things first, drive the product from a business perspective.
• After that, define the requirements and prioritize their value

Agile teams

An agile team works in iterations to deliver user stories. The team uses its capacity to decide how much scope to plan into the iteration.

• Points: define how much the team can commit to
• Capacity: defines how much an individual can commit to

User story

It is a requirement that defines what functionality a user needs. It can take two formats:

• Firstly, As a <User Role> I want <Functionality> so that <Business Value>
• Moreover, in order to <Business Value> as a <User Role> I want <Functionality>

Further, during release planning, user stories are given a rough size estimate using a relative scale like points. On the other hand, during iteration planning, the story breaks down into tasks. Agile is very disciplined about producing useful, realistic estimates.

User story and tasks

A story talks about the what–it defines what a user needs.

Further, we wait to break stories into tasks until the story is set up for the current iteration. Elaborating details just-in-time take advantage of learning and feedback.
