In the IT industry, sometimes we hear people talking about Scrum. Sometimes we hear them talking about Agile.
Speaker A
Sometimes they talk about Scrum and Agile. Sometimes it feels as if they both are the same, and sometimes it feels like they are different.
Speaker A
So what exactly is happening here? Are they the same, or are they different? To understand everything, let us start from the beginning.
Speaker A
In the early IT industry, software was developed by following the Waterfall approach. It was a linear approach, where the next phase of development started only after the previous phase was completed.
Speaker A
The process flowed like a waterfall, starting with requirement gathering, followed by system design, implementation, testing, deployment of the system, and then maintenance.
Speaker A
Since the process was rigid, it was difficult to bring changes in software. It was time-consuming and also risky.
Speaker A
The Waterfall model was mainly focused on process and tools, comprehensive documentation, contract negotiation, and following plans.
Speaker A
Then came a new way of thinking, which said that the focus while software development should rather be on individuals and interactions, working software, customer collaboration, and response to change.
Speaker A
This is known as the Agile way of software development because it provides a lot of flexibility.
Speaker A
You can be Agile by following the values manifested above. These values can be followed while following many frameworks.
Speaker A
Scrum is one of those frameworks. Individuals and interactions are taken care of by constant communication between all the individuals involved in the project.
Speaker A
Working software is delivered at the end of every sprint. Customer collaboration is done by constant feedback from customers.
Speaker A
A positive response to change is given every time it is required. And then many more processes are followed in Scrum, which are based on the values given by Agile.
Speaker A
So as a conclusion, we can say that Agile is an umbrella term under which many frameworks exist.
Speaker A
All these frameworks follow the values given by Agile. Scrum is one such framework. This is why Scrum is termed as an Agile framework.
Speaker A
There are a lot of things to understand when you go into details. But we hope that you were able to understand a basic difference with the help of this video.
