AGILE & SCRUM - Cunixinfotech

Training Overview

Agile is a method for a team to manage a project more effectively by breaking it down into stages, each of which allows for consistent communication with stakeholders and continuous improvement at each level. Finally, scrum is a framework that helps in effective collaborations among teams working on complex products.

Scrum is an agile technique that utilizes meetings, roles, and technologies to assist teams working on complicated projects to collaborate, structure, and manage their workload. Scrum may benefit any team working toward a similar goal, even if software development teams commonly employ it. Agile Scrum methodology is a project management system that relies on incremental development.

Each iteration is divided into two to four-week sprints (sprint refers to a period during which the team completes a particular task) to meet the most important features first and deliver a possibly deliverable product at the end of each sprint. More features are added to the product in subsequent sprints, which is then modified depending on stakeholder and consumer feedback in between sprints.

Rather than focusing on producing a full product in a single operation from start to finish, agile scrum methodology focuses on delivering several product iterations to give stakeholders the most business value in the shortest period.

Agile & Scrum benefits:

Best Quality Products:In Agile, testing is an integral aspect of the project execution phase. The client is also involved in the development process and can make suggestions based on market conditions. It assures a higher overall quality of the finished product and is a win-win situation for both the company and the customers.
Customer satisfaction is important: The consumer is solely involved in the planning phase of development in a traditional context. However, the customer is applied throughout the entire decision-making process in Agile. As a result, changes can be made depending on the customer's feedback because they are always in the loop.
Improved Control: Agile is made up of self-organizing teams that are constantly improving over time. As a result, there is more transparency and a better feedback mechanism between product managers, groups, and stakeholders.
Risks are lessened:Since the agile methodology is based on brief sprints, there is adequate time to develop effective mitigation measures if things do not go as expected. Product managers can use burndown charts and sprint backlogs to estimate performance and schedule sprints accordingly.

Agile & Scrum benefits:

Establishing a project plan

Before starting any project, your team should have a clear idea of the eventual goal, the value to the organization or client, and how it will be accomplished. You can establish a project scope here, but keep in mind that the goal of Agile project management is to respond quickly to modifications and additions to the project. Therefore the scope shouldn’t be considered fixed.

Development of a product roadmap

A roadmap is a list of features included in the final product. As your team will construct these specific features throughout each sprint, this is an important part of the Agile planning cycle. We need to create a product backlog, which is a list of all the features and deliverables that will go into the final product. Your team will extract tasks from this backlog when planning sprints later.

Preparation for the release

In traditional waterfall project management, a single implementation date follows the completion of the entire project. When you implement Agile, your project will have shorter development cycles (known as sprints), with features published after each process. It will help to develop a high-level strategy for feature releases before starting the project, and you’ll revisit and reassess the release plan for that feature at the start of each sprint.

Planning for sprints

Before each sprint begins, the stakeholders must attend a sprint planning meeting to identify what each individual will do during that sprint, how it will be accomplished, and assess the task load. It’s critical to equally distribute the workload between team members to complete their assigned duties during the sprint. For team openness, shared understanding, and identifying and eliminating bottlenecks, you’ll also need to describe your workflow clearly.

Stand-ups daily

Hold short daily stand-up meetings to help your team complete their tasks during each sprint and evaluate whether changes are required. During these meetings, each team member will briefly discuss what they accomplished the day before and what they will be working on the following day.These daily meetings should last not be more than 15 minutes. They aren’t designed to be extended problem-solving sessions or opportunities to discuss current events.

Your team will hold two meetings after each sprint ends:

the first will be a sprint review with project stakeholders to present the finished product. It is a crucial aspect of maintaining open lines of communication with stakeholders. Both groups can create a relationship and discuss any product difficulties during an in-person or video conference meeting. Second, you’ll host a sprint retrospective meeting with your stakeholders to evaluate what went well during the sprint, what could have gone better, whether the job load was too heavy or too low for each team member, and what was done.

Don’t miss this crucial meeting if your team is new to Agile project management. It allows you to determine how much your team can accomplish in each sprint and the most efficient sprint length for future projects.

Our Offerings

Training

Agile & Scrum Awareness Training – This training focuses on decoding requirements of Agile Scrum to the client implementation team.

Training

Guidance during implementation:Our consultants work intensively with the client's implementation team during the implementation phase. It requires quick audit cycles, and gap closure guidance before the compliance in implementation is achieved.
Internal Audit: This audit ensures that no non-compliance remains and the client is fully prepared for the final audit.

Please Note: The Gap Analysis activities mentioned above can have more than one cycle depending upon the client requirement.
