O que são as metodologias ágeis e Scrum
Agile methodologies are directly linked to the universe of technology, because they emerged during the creation of software. Developers created methods so that the process could be as productive as possible. They were focused on project management and ended up conquering the world, reaching the corporate environment.
Examples of these methodologies are:
- Scrum;
- Kanban;
- Lean;
- Feature Driven Development (FDD);
- Extreme Programming (XP).
Scrum, the focus of our post, can be used in conjunction with other methodologies and is suitable for many projects, not just software-related ones. It is one of the most used methodologies today and is based on meetings that are held during the course of a project.
First all the activities linked to the project are listed and each one of them will be a sprint. In the sprint backlog phase, each activity - or functionality - is passed to a team that completes the task in about four weeks.
At the conclusion of each one a meeting is held in which the delivered material is discussed. This is how meetings are held until the project is completed. In addition, some characters are very important, such as the Scrum Master (who leads), for example.
