What is an Agile Framework in a nutshell?

What is an Agile Framework in a nutshell?

Customers and acquaintances have recently inquired about the definition of an Agile Framework.

I informed them that I would have posted a brief response on LinkedIn. Here it goes!

Agile is an overall concept for software development that emphasises the importance of satisfying customers through frequent and rapid iterations. Consequently, an agile framework may be characterised as a particular software development strategy based on the agile concept stated in the Agile Manifesto.

One of the manifesto's four principles declares that the philosophy places "Individuals and interactions over processes and tools." The majority of agile teams use frameworks as a starting point for their agile transformation, later adapting aspects to match their own requirements.

Yes, there are several "agile frameworks."

With so many options for organising agile processes inside a company, you may be unsure of how to choose. Unfortunately, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to practise agile software development. Choosing a framework to operate inside is contingent on a number of things, such as:

  • Company size
  • Team structure
  • Available resources
  • Stakeholders’ requirements
  • Product and industry

Each framework has its own set of advantages and disadvantages. And the structure that works for another team may not be appropriate for your own team/company. So eventually, you’ll have to explore a bit and figure out what works best for you.

Some of the most popular frameworks are:

  • Scrum
  • Adaptive Software Development (ASD)
  • Disciplined Agile (DA)
  • Dynamic Systems Development Method (DDSM)
  • Feature Driven Development (FDD)
  • Lean Software Development (LSD - No, this has nothing to do with psychotropic drugs, huh? ??)
  • Rapid Application Development (RAD)
  • Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe)
  • eXtreme Programming (XP)

Scrum is often required - sometimes inappropriately though! -?

Quick explanation of Scrum.

Scrum is an agile framework project management approach. In general, the Scrum agile technique encourages the advancement of projects through two-week sprints, which are short-term work chunks. Teams that utilise this framework are self-organising and non-hierarchical in nature. Scrum-specific tasks include the ScrumMaster, who effectively serves as the team's leader, and the Product Owner, who represents the organisation and its customers.

Apart from this question, however, there is a more urgent one that has been posed by several clients.

Can the "agile" methodology also be used to organise different workflows in addition to software development?

That is, can this philosophy be implemented across the organisation? Unqualified affirmative! You can use the "agile" model to rethink and increase the efficiency of an organization.

This is exactly what the "agile" model is all about!
