Agiles walk from the Past..

The modern definition of agile software development evolved in the mid-1990s as part of a reaction against "heavyweight" methods, perceived to be typified by a heavily regulated, regimented, micromanaged use of the waterfall model of development. The processes originating from this use of the waterfall model were seen as bureaucratic, slow, demeaning, and inconsistent with the ways that software developers actually perform effective work. A case can be made that agile and iterative development methods mark a return to development practice from early in the history of software development.[1] Initially, agile methods were called "lightweight methods.

An adaptive software development process was introduced in a paper by Edmonds (1974). [2] Notable early Agile methods include Scrum (1995), Crystal Clear, Extreme Programming (1996), Adaptive Software Development, Feature Driven Development, and Dynamic Systems Development Method (DSDM) (1995). These are now typically referred to as Agile Methodologies, after the Agile Manifesto published in 2001.
In 2001, 17 prominent figures[3] in the field of agile development (then called "light-weight methods") came together at the Snowbird ski resort in Utah to discuss ways of creating software in a lighter, faster, more people-centric way. They coined the terms "Agile Software Development" and "agile methods", and they created the Agile Manifesto, widely regarded as the canonical definition of agile development and accompanying agile principles. Later, some of these people formed The Agile Alliance,[4] a non-profit organization that promotes agile development. Wikipedia

Pig and Chicken

A pig and a chicken are walking down a road. The chicken looks at the pig and says, "Hey, why don't we open a restaurant?" The pig looks back at the chicken and says, "Good idea, what do you want to call it?" The chicken thinks about it and says, "Why don't we call it 'Ham and Eggs'?" "I don't think so," says the pig, "I'd be committed, but you'd only be involved."

Lets start the story..

Product
Agile software development with scrum sameera
12

Product should have a

Product owner who represents Stakeholders

13

Product should have a..

Product backlog

14

Product owner has to ensure..

The product backlog will only contain necessary features.

15

Then comes the Scrum Master

Facilitator

16

Following him the Scrum Team

Cross functional 7-9 people

17

Then they create Release backlog

Release backlog is a subset of product backlog.

18

Then it is divided to sprint backlogs

Wait.. Lets break it down

20

They have Daily Standup

What have you done since yesterday? What are you planning to do today?
Do you have any problems preventing you from accomplishing your goal?

21

What about bugs ?

Should be fixed as and when you find it. Might have 1-2 more sprints to fix critical bugs.

22

They measure their work with Burn down charts

23

Then they have Sprint Review Meeting

Present the completed work to the stakeholders (a.k.a. "the demo")

Agile software development with scrum sameera
24

Finally Sprint Retrospective meeting

Discussion about completed sprint.
