To comprehend the difference between Agile and Scrum, first, we must have a better understanding of-
What is Agile?
Agile is an approach/methodology that assists us in the constant iteration of processes of the Software Development Life Cycle such as development, testing, etc. This methodology has established several benefits such as delivering high-value features in short delivery cycles, which were otherwise a challenge in the conventional waterfall approach. Agile aids to enhance customer retention and satisfaction. This is achieved by breaking down the product into relatively smaller units/builds, resulting in making the activities concurrent. Agile advances teamwork and in-person communication.Several approaches to implementing Agile-
- Scrum
- Kanban
- Feature Driven Development (FDD)
- Extreme Programming (XP)
- Lean Software Development (LSD)
- Adaptive System Development (ASD)
- Dynamic Systems Development Method (DSDM)
- Crystal Clear
What is Scrum?
Scrum is a framework within which people can address complex adaptive problems, while productively and creatively delivering products of the highest possible value.
Roles in Scrum
- Product Owner- The product owner is the guardian of requirements. He/she also coordinates between the customers, the business and the team. Meanwhile, the product owner is the one who is responsible for maintaining the product backlog.
- Scrum Master- The one who is responsible for making sure that the process runs hassle-free and smoothly. ScrumMaster eliminates any hurdles that directly/indirectly affect the productivity of the company.
- Scrum Team- The scrum team constitutes a bunch of people who are cross-functional and self-organizing, focused on developing and testing the product. An ideal team size would range from five to nine people.
Steps in the Scrum Flow:
- Product Backlog
- Sprint Planning
- Backlog Refinement (recommended)
- Daily Scrum
- Sprint Review
- Sprint Retrospective
