Agile methodologies are project management approaches that prioritize flexibility, collaboration, and iterative development.
These methodologies are designed to adapt to changing requirements and deliver value to customers in shorter timeframes.
Some of the most important methodologies are:
Scrum
It involves breaking a project into short iterations called sprints, typically lasting 1-4 weeks.
At the beginning of each sprint, the team plans the work to be done and creates a sprint backlog. The team then works on the tasks identified in the sprint backlog and holds daily stand-up meetings to discuss progress and address any issues. At the end of each sprint, the team reviews the work completed and holds a retrospective to identify areas for improvement.
Kanban
Kanban is another agile methodology that focuses on visualizing work and limiting work in progress (WIP). Kanban-boards are used to visualize tasks and their status, typically using columns such as “To Do,” “In Progress,” and “Done.”
Teams pull work from the backlog as capacity allows, and the goal is to keep WIP levels low to maintain a smooth flow of work.
These are just a few examples of agile methodologies, and there are other variations and hybrid approaches as well.
The choice of which agile methodology to use depends on the specific project requirements.
