Industry seminar on "Agile development with Scrum"
In semester four of my undergraduate program we had seminars conducted by experts from industry. As a part of that program we had a seminar on "Agile development with Scrum" by a software architect from Pronto. He has a abut 20 years of industry experience and worked in several companies as software engineer and software architect.
In the session he started by telling what a project is and what are the challenges in handling a project. He also talked about the balance between time,money and functionality. Then when it comes to Scrum, he said it is a practical implementation of agile whereas agile is a theory. But even is scrum is just a framework on how to implement agile methodology. There are many other frameworks also like extrem programing. These frameworks give us a guideline on how to implement agile principals.
But even those guidelines are flexible.
The main idea of agile and scrum is customer satisfaction and trust on employee through allowing the software requirement to change over time and letting the scrum groups to work on their own phase with lots of freedom. In agile methods the software requirements are not fixed. Rather at each sprint you can add, subtract or change the requirements according to the best interest of the customer. So customer always gets what they want and what is useful to them. Also the scrum groups decide on what are the task they are going to complete, how much time going to spend and who is going to do and all other details of the project. This helps the employees to take responsibility and feel the work as their own.
So this seminar gave us a clear picture on the use of scrum and how to implement it and also we are very fortunate to listen to it from an expert who has worked on this scrum fro years.
