Agile Project Management - Agile Recap

The video tutorial explores the concept of Agile in software development, emphasizing its close relationship with Scrum. It traces the evolution from traditional waterfall methods to iterative approaches, highlighting the benefits of iterative development such as early feature release, flexibility, and early issue detection. The tutorial also discusses the lightweight nature of these methods, advocating for simple solutions to complex problems.

What is the relationship between Agile and Scrum?

• Scrum replaces Agile.

• Agile and Scrum are unrelated.

• Scrum is a subset of Agile.

• Agile is a subset of Scrum.

What was a major reason for the shift from waterfall to iterative methods?

• Waterfall methods were too fast.

• Iterative methods are cheaper.

• Waterfall methods had significant shortfalls.

• Iterative methods require less planning.

How do iterative methods differ from the waterfall model?

• Iterative methods involve multiple phases within weeks.

• Waterfall allows for early feature release.

• Waterfall is more flexible than iterative methods.

• Iterative methods have more upfront requirements.

What is one advantage of releasing features early in iterative development?

• It reduces the overall project cost.

• It allows for early return on investment.

• It eliminates the need for testing.

• It speeds up the design phase.

Why are many iterative methods considered lightweight?
