This course is designed to help learners build an understanding of Agile’s process model and its different approaches and techniques.

To understand the advantages of implementing Agile techniques, the course begins with a comparison of Agile methods and the traditional Waterfall model. Then, you’ll get to know about different planning approaches to help users effectively adjust deadlines. Next, there’s a discussion on backlogs and different visual techniques, such as burn-down charts and burn-up charts, that help increase the efficiency of projects.

You will also learn Agile methodologies including SCRUM, eXtreme Programming, DSDM, Smart and Kanban, as well as the differences and similarities between these approaches. Finally, you’ll look at some common problems and learn ways to solve them using Agile methodologies.

### The case study
​​Assume that you work in a reputable software house. A school requires a laboratory management system and has contacted your company for assistance. Your company has 50 software engineers, but 40 of them are busy working on other projects. The project will be quite innovative and needs smart programmers. A school representative is willing to stay at the software house premises. The school’s annual evaluation is due soon, in which computerization initiatives will be appreciated. Which process model is the most suitable for the given scenario?
List your reason(s) for your choice of model as well.
