Agile Methodologies

1. Scrum

   • Work is divided into short iterations called Sprints
     • Sprint Planning, Daily Stand-ups, Sprint Review, Sprint Retrospective
     • Uses a Product Backlog and Sprint Backlog to prioritize tasks.
   • It is handled by setting roles: * Product Owner * Scrum Master * Development Team
   • It's recommended for teams needing flexibility and continuous feedback, often in software development.

2. Kanban

   • Implement a visual Workflow
     • Uses a Kanban board with columns representing different work stages (e.g., To Do, In Progress, Done).
   • Optimizes lead time and minimizes bottlenecks by restricting the number of tasks in progress, to improve efficiency.
   • Mostly used in teams with unpredictable workflows or needing real-time adaptability (e.g., IT support, DevOps).

3. Extreme Programming (XP)

   • Delivers small software releases frequently to enhance feedback and reduce risk by a policy of customer involvement
   • Emphasizes automated testing and best coding practices to deliver High-Code queality
   • Mostly used for critical systems where testing at every stage is crucial (e.g., healthcare, aerospace).
