Background on Agile Roles and Capabilities
The umbrella term “Agile” was introduced with the Manifesto for Agile Software Development (commonly called Agile Manifesto) in 2001, when the various lightweight methods developed in the 1990s were starting to enter the mainstream. Agile in itself is an abstract concept, mainly a philosophy or a collection of thinking models based on the values and principles defined in the Agile Manifesto. Scrum, XP and the other frameworks provide practices and processes that are compatible with the agile values.
Scrum provides a clear definition of accountabilities within the Scrum team, which gives directions for the adoption of the framework and its values and practices. On the other hand, methods like Kanban are not as explicit. However, through coaching and training customers over more than a decade, agile42 identified the foundational functions necessary to embrace an agile approach in an organization.
This course will help you demonstrate proficient comprehension of those roles and the needed capabilities associated with them.
