Delve into Agile methodologies, compare them with Waterfall, explore planning techniques, and discover tools like SCRUM and Kanban. Gain insights into solving common problems with Agile.

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.

Learn Agile Methodologies from Scratch

# Overview

This lesson looks at a comparison between Agile projects and traditional projects. By performing each phase once in a fixed sequence, the risks increase in traditional methods as the project progresses. The software is only delivered to the customer at the end of a project. It has to follow this route because there’s no software available earlier on in the project, only documentation. This is the so-called **big-bang scenario**.

Learn about the difference between Agile projects and traditional projects.
