3AGILE METHODOLOGY
Introduction:
Agile Project management or the APM is one of the iterative approach which is used for
planning and guiding the entire project processes. Agile methodology generally refers to the
process related to the promotion of the continuous iterations of the software throughout the entire
phase of a software development lifecycle in a project (Patwardhan et al., 2016). Besides this in
the methodology the activities related to the development and the testing are also seen to be
concurrent which is unlike the waterfall model. The methodology is categorized into small
sections which is also known as iterations for example in the process of developing a software
generally refers to the single development cycle (ur Rehman et al., 2018). Followed by the
division into small sections each of the iteration is reviewed and critiqued by the teams which
would also be including the stakeholders as well. This reviewing is associated with providing of
insights which helps in determining the future steps that are to be taken to as to proceed.
The major benefit which is put forward by usage of the agile methodology is that it is
associated with providing the ability of responding to the various kind of issues which might
arise at any stage of the development process of during a project (Baham et al., 2017). This in
turn would be helping in making of any kind of needed change at the right time so as to avoid
any kind of future disruptions so as to save the resources and finally helping in delivering of the
successful project on time as well as within the budget. The testing methodology is categorized
into numerous parts.
Scrum:
Scrum is the agile development process which is associate with concentrating upon the
ways of managing the tasks within a development environment which is entire team based. So

from this it can be sated that the scrum methodology is generally derived from those activities
which are seen to be occurring during the rugby match (Peroni, 2016). Scrum methodology is
mainly aimed at empowering the development teams along with advocating the entire working of
the small teams. Scrum methodology is generally divided into three roles and the below picture
is associated with depicting the roles and their responsibilities.
Scrum Master: This the first role and is mainly having the responsibility of setting up the entire
team along with the sprint meetings and being associated with the removal of the various kind of
obstacles faced by the process.
Product owner: This is second role and is associated with creation of the product backlog along
with the prioritization of the backlogs (Lee et al., 2016). Besides the owner is also having the
responsibility of delivering of the functionalities at each of the iterations.
Scrum team: The scrum team is mainly associated with the managing its own works along with
organization the work so as to complete the entire sprint or cycle.

The product backlog in the scrum methodology is considered to be a repository which is
mainly associated with the tracking of the requirements with the details related to the number of
requirements which needs to be completed for each of the release. The product backlog should
necessarily be maintained as well as prioritized by the product owner which is to be distributed
amongst the entire scrum team (Serrador & Pinto, 2015). The team can also be requested for the
addition or modification or deleting the new requirements.
Scrum Practices:
