Agile is a project management approach to breaking down projects into smaller deliverables. It is a mindset of being able to move quickly in response to your environment. There are many frameworks and approaches to Agile project management, including Scrum, which is the most popular. The Agile Manifesto and Agile principles establish a foundation to build an Agile approach for your organization, regardless of which framework you select. Scrum includes a set of values and attempts to create value by collaborating with the customer, streamlining projects, and building efficiency using three roles, three Artifacts, and five activities in every Scrum project. Scrum projects include Sprints. Each Sprint lasts from one week to four weeks. Self‐managing teams complete each Sprint. The team creates a Sprint Backlog to clarify the Sprint tasks the team intends to complete during the Sprint. The Sprint Backlog includes a series of iterations to design, plan, test, inspect, and improve the next iteration and Sprint. Once the Sprint Backlog tasks are complete, the Sprint is over, and a new Sprint begins. The Sprint iterations repeat until the team completes the Scrum project and provides an increment, or product, to the customer. An important aspect to remember is that while implementing only parts of Scrum is possible, the result is not Scrum. Scrum exists only in its entirety and functions well as a container for other techniques, methodologies, and practices. As you begin your transformation, take a look at the recipes to help you determine your methodology. Don't be afraid to adjust the recipes!
