If you are looking to learn Agile methodology to develop value-laden, high-quality products using proven Agile principles, this is the right course for you. You do not need an Agile background for this course, though familiarity with project management concepts can be helpful.

Scrum is the name of a popular methodology for applying Agile. Scrum is a thin framework of roles, artefacts, and events that support self-organising, cross-functional development teams. More than three-quarters of Agile teams claim to be using Scrum.

Agile software development is a product engineering approach that delivers high-quality, working software products early and often. This allows the customer to generate business value earlier and provide feedback to the developers. Agile methods emphasise constant, open, honest and real-time communication between developers and their customers.

This course covers some of the most popular methodologies for performing Agile work, including Scrum, Kanban, Lean, and XP.

The traditional waterfall method of software development treats the analysis, design, coding and testing as separate phases in a linear software development plan. Agile, on the other hand, is an iterative software development methodology, focused on flexibility in adapting to changes and delivering value early and often.
