Agile Frameworks and Practices




Content:

  • Agile is a way of working, not a strict set of steps.
  • There are several frameworks that help teams use Agile ideas well:

Scrum

  • Scrum is one of the most common Agile frameworks.
  • It breaks the project into short periods called sprints, which usually last from 1 to 4 weeks. Each sprint results in a piece of working software.

Roles:

  • Scrum Master – Helps keep things moving and removes any problems that come up.
  • Product Owner – Speaks for the customer and decides what should be done first.
  • Development Team – Actually builds the software.
  • Meetings: Daily stand-ups, sprint planning, sprint reviews, and retrospectives help everyone stay in the loop and keep getting better.

Kanban:

  • Kanban is a system that helps manage how work moves along.
  • Tasks are shown on a board, either on paper or online, in sections like "To Do," "In Progress," and "Done."
  • This helps teams spot where work is getting stuck.
  • It also supports ongoing delivery and small, steady improvements.
  • Unlike Scrum, Kanban doesn’t have fixed roles or set sprints.
  • It’s more flexible.


Extreme Programming (XP):

  • XP is focused on making sure the code is of high quality and tested often.
  • It uses practices like:
  • Pair programming – Two developers work together on the same code.
  • Test-driven development – Writing tests before writing the actual code.
  • Continuous integration – Merging code often to catch problems early.
  • XP helps make software that is reliable, easy to update, and ready for changes.

Lean Software Development:


  • Lean uses ideas from manufacturing to improve how software is made.
  • It focuses on:
  • Removing unnecessary features or steps that don’t add value.
  • Getting useful work to the customer as quickly as possible.
  • Making the workflow more efficient and effective.
  • Lean helps teams work more wisely, finish faster, and create better software.

Evolution of Software Engineering

 Evolution of Software Engineering   Introduction Software Engineering has grown from a small, experimental practice in the 1960s to one of the most important areas today. Now, it powers everything from smartphones and banking systems to artificial intelligence and space missions. This big change didn’t happen all at once—it took many years of learning from mistakes and making improvements. Knowing the history of Software Engineering helps us see how past problems led to better solutions that shape our future. The Software Crisis In the early days of computing, software development wasn’t treated as seriously as hardware. People often wrote code without clear plans, proper records, or quality checks. As software became bigger and more complex, many projects failed. This time, called the “Software Crisis” in the late 1960s and 1970s, was marked by: Projects that were delayed by years. Costs that went way over budget. Systems that weren’t reliable and had a lot of mistakes. Syst...
