This course will prepare you for diving into the Scrum methodology. As Agile is a way of thinking, you need to have the right mindset first before crafting your software development process. This lecture does that by immersing you on the Agile Manifesto, values, and principles. You will also get to learn how organizations have evolved from predictive to more adaptive methodologies through the years and how they have benefited from the shift.
Topics covered include: From predictive to adaptive. The first section of the lecture will deal with the transition from predictive to adaptive methodologies. You will get to know the pain points in the traditional processes and why there’s a clamor for change in the software development process. Knowing these gives you a better understanding of the need for iterative and incremental development for the changing market.
About Agile. The second section of the lecture welcomes you with the definition of Agile. You will also now get to know the Agile Manifesto, values and principles. For better and easier understanding, the 12 Agile principles have been categorized into four main focus areas which will make it more apparent what you need to strive for with your development approach. You will also get to know how leadership affects the success of Agile adoption in the organization.
Benefits of Agile. The third section of the lecture focuses on the benefits of using Agile approaches to software development. You will learn how motivation, inspection, adaptation, and a process focused on value and delivery play a big role in the success of your development projects. Ultimately, you will get to know what’s in store for your organizations once you go Agile.
We at Technics Publications like to think of ourselves as the “Tesla of Publishing”. Just like the Tesla car, we are original, agile, and environment-friendly. Our originality takes the form of filling in niches within the data and leadership book space, such as data modeling and data strategy. We have also published some of the most creative works in the field, such as The Hidden Corporation, a data management security novel, and the fruITion trilogy, novels on the fragile business/IT relationship. Our agility means as a small publisher, we can go from concept to bookshelf at warp speed. Bill Inmon’s Data Lake Architecture for example, went from unedited manuscript to bookshelf in under eight weeks! We are also environment-friendly, with close to 60% of our sales in electronic books.
