What is Agile Project Management?
Agile project management is an iterative approach to managing software development projects. It focuses on breaking down large projects into smaller, more manageable tasks, which are completed in short iterations called “sprints.” It focuses on continuous releases and incorporating customer feedback with every iteration.
We follow four core values for Agile management:
Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
Working software over comprehensive documentation
Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
Responding to change over following a plan
Scrum is a framework of rules, roles, events, and artifacts used to execute projects using Agile principles. Scrum helps our team generate value through collaborative solutions for complex problems by assigning roles to each aspect of the process.
Every project will include specific team members who collaborate to complete your tasks. These roles include:
Product Owner
The product owner works with the customer to understand the project requirements and prioritize them as per the business value for the customer.
Project Manager/Scrum Master
This person is a facilitator and is responsible for arranging the daily meetings. They protect the team from distractions allowing them to focus on team duties, and maximize productivity.
Development Team
This team consists of cross-functional members, with the skills necessary to create, design and develop the underlying product within the greater project.
QA/Testing
These team members will ensure that all completed aspects meet the functional requirements as outlined by the Product Owner. They deliver usability reports to Project Manager.
