The document provides an overview of agile methodologies. It defines agile as an iterative project management approach using short development cycles called sprints. The core values of agile according to the Agile Manifesto are prioritizing individuals, working software, customer collaboration, and responding to change. Key aspects of agile include sprint planning, daily standup meetings, user stories, acceptance criteria, product and sprint backlogs, and retrospectives. Popular agile frameworks are Scrum, Kanban, and lean.
Agile methodologies have covered the shortcomings of traditional methodologies by focusing in a iterative and incremental model with agility and adaptability in all kind projects development.
What agile teams think about agile principlesJaguaraci Silva
The document discusses the history and development of agile principles. It summarizes a survey that was conducted in 2010 to understand views on agile principles and practices. 326 respondents with extensive agile experience participated in the survey. The survey found general agreement with most of the original 12 agile principles, but also identified areas for revision. Based on the survey results, some principles were updated to better reflect modern agile approaches and address issues like "Flaccid Scrum" where code quality is overlooked. The conclusions emphasize that principles and practices must be aligned, and principles need to evolve with changes to remain relevant.
Agile is a set of principles for iterative software development that values collaboration, adaptability, and delivering working software frequently. It aims to address shortcomings of traditional "waterfall" approaches which were inflexible, took too long, and did not provide value until late in the project. Key principles of Agile include satisfying customers through early delivery, welcoming changing requirements, frequent delivery of working software, daily collaboration between developers and business teams, and trusting self-organizing teams. Agile methods have benefits like increased productivity, faster time to market, and improved quality, but require constant business involvement and greater testing discipline.

This document discusses agile project management. It defines agile management as an iterative development model where deliverables are submitted in stages. The key principles of agile management are outlined, including valuing individuals, customer collaboration, responding to change, and simplicity. Several agile methods are described such as scrum, extreme programming, and lean software development. Criticisms of the agile approach are mentioned along with the concept of "post-agilism," which advocates a flexible approach rather than strict adherence to agile dogma. The document concludes with advice for project managers to consider factors like developer skills, requirements, organizational culture, project criticality, and team size when determining a project management approach.
A project is a temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique product or service. Agile project management focuses on iterative development, self-organizing teams, early customer involvement and flexibility. Some key aspects of agile include continuous integration, iterations to develop features in short cycles, and pair programming where two developers work together.
This document discusses the history and evolution of Agile practices over three waves:
1) Agile teams (1995-2013) which focused on team-level practices like Scrum, XP, and the Agile Manifesto.
2) Agile at scale (2007-present) addressing frameworks for larger organizations like SAFe, LeSS, and Scrum@Scale.
3) Business agility (2009-present) expanding Agile beyond software to transform management practices and business models with approaches like management 3.0, lean startup, and team topologies.
The document discusses Agile methodologies and Scrum. It provides an overview of traditional software development lifecycles, defines what Agile means, and summarizes the Agile Manifesto. It then focuses on Scrum, describing its core aspects like sprints, product backlogs, self-organized teams, and that it does not prescribe engineering practices. Trends in using Scrum for government contracts and in schools are also mentioned. The document concludes with discussing Scrum certifications and career opportunities involving Agile and Scrum.
This document provides an overview of Agile principles and methodologies like Scrum and Kanban. Some key points include:
- The Agile Manifesto values individuals, interactions, working software, and customer collaboration over processes, tools, documentation, and contract negotiation.
- Scrum uses sprints, daily stand-ups, and meetings to deliver working software frequently from self-organizing teams. Roles include the Product Owner, Development Team, and Scrum Master.
- Kanban uses a visual board to manage work flows and limit work-in-progress to continue delivering value.

Agile Development: What is a Sprint Cycle?Flowace.ai
If you are a software developer, you must often hear the term “sprint cycle” or may also be part of it.
But if not, you must wonder what it is and why it matters.
Well! It is a short process that contains sessions of feedback, flexibility, and scope for continuous improvement for the development team. Sprints enable teams to deliver high-quality work faster and adapt swiftly to evolving requirements.
This blog will help you learn more about the agile development journey and prepare for your upcoming sprint cycle.
What i
Sprint cycles are short but continuous processes that the scrum master and the scrum team follow during a sprint. For software developers and managers on agile projects, the sprint cycle helps effectively plan and execute the process.
A sprint is a set period that can be many days or months in agile development.
Each project is divided into sprints, which the team works on separately. A single sprint may take up to four weeks to complete.
In such cases, complex projects are divided into manageable pieces through sprints. This further allows teams to work closely together, uphold quality, and effectively adjust to changes in the project.
Adopting agile methodologies like scrum allows businesses to complete large projects more effectively in a short time.
Sprint planning promotes accountability, openness, and ongoing progress during development. By utilizing the sprint cycle, software development managers can satisfy stakeholder expectations, produce high-quality work, and advance projects consistently.
Who uses scrum planning?
Software developers use scrum planning before making a product to ease the process.
Scrum Master
Development team
Product Owner
Who uses scrum planning?
In agile sprint methodology, each member plays a critical role. The following are reasons why you should know about the various roles involved in planning and executing a sprint:
Scrum Master
An expert who guides a group through a project utilizing Agile project management methodologies is known as a scrum master.
The scrum Master coordinates and facilitates all communication and teamwork between team members and leadership. A scrum master’s daily responsibilities keep changing, but they primarily consist of the following:
Presiding over evaluations and demos
Daily stand-up meetings and other meetings about the project help teammates complete their responsibilities
Mentoring the group on Scrum best practices and principles, promoting candid dialogue and conflict settlement
Proactively recognise and address problems
Updating tasks in a tracking tool for project management

Agile Development team
The term “development team” refers to a team of individuals who work together to develop a product. In Scrum, the Development Team possesses two fundamental attributes.
The document discusses key concepts in Agile and Scrum project management frameworks. It outlines some common misconceptions about Agile, describes Scrum roles and ceremonies like sprint planning and review meetings, and emphasizes that adopting Scrum requires changes to team dynamics, skills, and work habits.
Scrum is an agile framework for managing projects that uses self-organizing cross-functional teams. It emphasizes iterative development, where teams work in short cycles called sprints to build functionality incrementally. The core roles are the product owner, who manages priorities and requirements, the development team, who does the work, and the scrum master, who facilitates the process. Key artifacts include the product and sprint backlogs which contain prioritized work items, and burn down charts which track progress. At the end of each sprint the team demonstrates a potentially shippable product increment.
Agile is an iterative process that emphasizes frequent inspection and adaptation. The Agile Manifesto values individuals and interactions, working software, customer collaboration, and responding to change over processes, tools, contracts, and following a plan. Common Agile methodologies include Scrum, Extreme Programming (XP), Lean, Kanban, Feature-Driven Development (FDD), Dynamic Systems Development Method (DSDM), and Crystal. Scrum uses sprints, daily stand-ups, and artifacts like product backlogs and increments. XP focuses on simplicity, feedback, and pair programming. Lean aims to eliminate waste. Kanban uses visual boards and limits work-in-progress. FDD develops features incrementally. DSDM prioritizes
The document provides an overview of Agile software development and Scrum framework. It discusses the benefits of Agile over traditional waterfall model through the example of FBI's failed Virtual Case File project. Some key points include:
- Agile development uses short iterations called sprints which allow for continuous improvement compared to long sequential phases in waterfall.
- FBI was able to successfully develop its case management system using Scrum after previous attempts failed with waterfall approach.
- Scrum is one of the popular Agile frameworks and involves self-organizing teams, daily stand-ups, sprints and product backlogs.
- Other Agile frameworks mentioned are Extreme Programming and Kanban which focus on iterative development and limiting
The role of a QA tester on a Scrum team includes:
1) Participating in sprint planning and retrospectives to provide input on testing needs and improvements.
2) Testing software increments throughout the sprint to find issues early.
3) Communicating regularly with developers through daily standups and demos.
4) Ensuring quality by developing test cases, conducting exploratory testing, and automating tests.
5) Helping clarify requirements and identify ambiguities.

As Trino users increasingly rely on cloud object storage for retrieving data, speed and cloud cost have become major challenges. The separation of compute and storage creates latency challenges when querying datasets; scanning data between storage and compute tiers becomes I/O bound. On the other hand, cloud API costs related to GET/LIST operations and cross-region data transfer add up quickly.
The newly introduced Trino file system cache by Alluxio aims to overcome the above challenges. In this session, Jianjian will dive into Trino data caching strategies, the latest test results, and discuss the multi-level caching architecture. This architecture makes Trino 10x faster for data lakes of any scale, from GB to EB.
What you will learn:
- Challenges relating to the speed and costs of running Trino in the cloud
- The new Trino file system cache feature overview, including the latest development status and test results
- A multi-level cache framework for maximized speed, including Trino file system cache and Alluxio distributed cache
- Real-world cases, including a large online payment firm and a top ridesharing company
- The future roadmap of Trino file system cache and Trino-Alluxio integration
Measures in SQL (SIGMOD 2024, Santiago, Chile)Julian Hyde
SQL has attained widespread adoption, but Business Intelligence tools still use their own higher level languages based upon a multidimensional paradigm. Composable calculations are what is missing from SQL, and we propose a new kind of column, called a measure, that attaches a calculation to a table. Like regular tables, tables with measures are composable and closed when used in queries.
SQL-with-measures has the power, conciseness and reusability of multidimensional languages but retains SQL semantics. Measure invocations can be expanded in place to simple, clear SQL.
To define the evaluation semantics for measures, we introduce context-sensitive expressions (a way to evaluate multidimensional expressions that is consistent with existing SQL semantics), a concept called evaluation context, and several operations for setting and modifying the evaluation context.

Consistent toolbox talks are critical for maintaining workplace safety, as they provide regular opportunities to address specific hazards and reinforce safe practices.
These brief, focused sessions ensure that safety is a continual conversation rather than a one-time event, which helps keep safety protocols fresh in employees' minds. Studies have shown that shorter, more frequent training sessions are more effective for retention and behavior change compared to longer, infrequent sessions.
Engaging workers regularly, toolbox talks promote a culture of safety, empower employees to voice concerns, and ultimately reduce the likelihood of accidents and injuries on site.
The traditional method of conducting safety talks with paper documents and lengthy meetings is not only time-consuming but also less effective. Manual tracking of attendance and compliance is prone to errors and inconsistencies, leading to gaps in safety communication and potential non-compliance with OSHA regulations. Switching to a digital solution like Safelyio offers significant advantages.
Safelyio automates the delivery and documentation of safety talks, ensuring consistency and accessibility. The microlearning approach breaks down complex safety protocols into manageable, bite-sized pieces, making it easier for employees to absorb and retain information.
This method minimizes disruptions to work schedules, eliminates the hassle of paperwork, and ensures that all safety communications are tracked and recorded accurately. Ultimately, using a digital platform like Safelyio enhances engagement, compliance, and overall safety performance on site. https://safelyio.com/

Why Apache Kafka Clusters Are Like Galaxies (And Other Cosmic Kafka Quandarie...Paul Brebner
Closing talk for the Performance Engineering track at Community Over Code EU (Bratislava, Slovakia, June 5 2024) https://eu.communityovercode.org/sessions/2024/why-apache-kafka-clusters-are-like-galaxies-and-other-cosmic-kafka-quandaries-explored/ Instaclustr (now part of NetApp) manages 100s of Apache Kafka clusters of many different sizes, for a variety of use cases and customers. For the last 7 years I’ve been focused outwardly on exploring Kafka application development challenges, but recently I decided to look inward and see what I could discover about the performance, scalability and resource characteristics of the Kafka clusters themselves. Using a suite of Performance Engineering techniques, I will reveal some surprising discoveries about cosmic Kafka mysteries in our data centres, related to: cluster sizes and distribution (using Zipf’s Law), horizontal vs. vertical scalability, and predicting Kafka performance using metrics, modelling and regression techniques. These insights are relevant to Kafka developers and operators.

2. What is Agile?
Agile Project Management System (PMS) that uses short development cycles called “sprints” to
focus on continuous improvement in the development of a product or service.
In 2001, the Agile Manifesto, a "formal proclamation of four key values and 12 principles to guide
an iterative and people-centric approach to software development," was published by 17
software developers.
Realize that Agile development is more than a set of practices. It is a mindset, and building that mindset
needs learning from each successive cycle and repeating the ‘better practice’ till it becomes second
nature.
3.
4. Agile - Four Key Values
The Four Core Values of Agile software development as stated by the Agile Manifesto are:
● Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
● Working software over comprehensive documentation
● Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
● Responding to change over following a plan.
5. Agile Principles
There are 12 key principles that still guide agile project management today.
1. Customer satisfaction is always the highest priority and is achieved through rapid and continuous
delivery.
2. Changing environments are embraced at any stage of the process to provide the customer with a
competitive advantage.
3. A product or service is delivered with higher frequency.
4. Stakeholders and developers collaborate closely on a daily basis.
5. All stakeholders and team members remain motivated for optimal project outcomes, while teams
are provided with all the necessary tools and support, and are trusted to accomplish project goals.
6. Agile Principles (contd…)
6. Face-to-face meetings are deemed the most efficient and effective format for project success.
7. A final working product is the ultimate measure of success.
8. Sustainable development is accomplished through agile processes whereby development teams
and stakeholders are able to maintain a constant and ongoing pace.
9. Agility is enhanced through a continuous focus on technical excellence and proper design.
10. Simplicity is an essential element.
11. Self-organizing teams are most likely to develop the best architectures and designs and to meet
requirements.
12. Regular intervals are used by teams to improve efficiency through fine-tuning behaviors.
7. What is a Sprint?
● The main activity in Scrum project management is the Sprint or Iteration
● It is a time boxed iteration that usually lasts between 1-4 weeks, the most common sprint length
being 2 weeks
● For each Sprint, a new task board, called Sprint Backlog, is created to list all the things that need to
be accomplished over the next week or two.
● As the Sprint starts, communicate with the team and update them on where things stand.
● Every Sprint should end with Potentially releasable product, Scrum Team should have goals to
ship every sprint
8. Sprint Goal
● Before the start of any project, scrum teams typically engage in sprint planning, an activity
that focuses on what will be delivered in the upcoming sprint and how the work will be
accomplished to meet the sprint goal. Adopting a realistic approach to estimating what can
be reasonably accomplished within a sprint can help prevent scope creep.
● Scrum teams also manage scope creep by defining a Sprint Goal which expresses the
purpose of the sprint, and helps to manage unplanned work. User stories are defined in line
with the sprint goal and any stories perceived as “extras” can either be dropped or
postponed to the next sprint. They also reflect on their goal at the end of the sprint and
assess how well they performed in line with it.
9. What is a Standup Meeting?
The daily stand up must be held standing up, limited to 10-15 minutes
Focus on 3 aspects:
1. What did we do to achieve the team’s Sprint goals yesterday?
2. What will we do today to meet the team goals?
3. What might impede us or the development team from achieving our goals?
Don’t let the scrum become a technical discussion or a planning meeting either
Don’t bring up any item that requires a longer discussion. These should be added to a "parking lot" list,
and discussed preferably right after the scrum.
10.
11. User Story
● User Story is a tool used to capture a description of a software feature from an end-user
perspective.
● The user story describes the type of user, what they want and why.
● A user story helps to create a simplified description of a requirement.
● A user story template often uses the following type of format:
As a <role>, I want <feature> so that <reason>.
● Example: As a user, I want to upload photos so that I can share photos with others.
12. Acceptance Criteria of a User Story
● Acceptance Criteria specify conditions under which a user story is fulfilled / done
● Concisely written criteria help development teams avoid ambiguity about a client’s demands and
prevent miscommunication.
● Acceptance criteria are acted as a catalyst for test cases and it should be testable.
● It’s natural that different people see the same problem from different angles. Clearly written
criteria introduce a single solution to the functionality you intend to implement.
● As a rule, criteria written by a product owner (the client) are reviewed by a member of the
development team to make sure that the criteria are clearly specified and that there are no
technical constraints or inconsistencies from the development perspective.
13. Product Backlog
● In short, making a list of all the things the team needs to do and organizing them in separate boards
- is the “Product Backlog.”
● Listing Tasks and User Stories: Think about the projects and goals. What specific tasks need to be
completed to reach them? Don’t hold back. Get down to the dirty details, and try to break down
tasks into their smallest parts.
● Breaking down your tasks allows you to much more accurately estimate how long it will take you to
complete each task. It also helps you identify dependencies and priorities—what’s most
important? What needs to happen first?
● These boards create transparency, aligning everyone on the big picture and ensuring that
everyone is working toward the same goal.
● Team members can add new tasks to any backlog as new things come up and projects evolve.
14. Sprint Backlog
● This is the prioritized list of tasks the team needs to complete during the sprint.
● During Sprint Planning or Backlog Grooming, tasks from the product backlog are moved to
the current Sprint’s task board
15. Agile Ceremonies and Meetings
● Sprint Planning Meeting or Backlog Grooming: at the start of each sprint a planning meeting is
held to discuss the work that is to be done. The product owner and the team meet to discuss the
highest-priority items on the product backlog. Team members figure out how many items they can
commit to and then create a sprint backlog, which is a list of the tasks to complete during the
sprint.
● Daily scrum or daily standup: each day during the sprint team members share what they worked
on the prior day, will work on today, and identify any impediments. Daily scrums serve to
synchronize the work of team members as they discuss the work of the sprint. These meetings are
time boxed to no more than 15 minutes.
16. Agile Ceremonies and Meetings(contd..)
● Sprint Review: at the end of a sprint the team demonstrates the functionality added during the
sprint. The goal of this meeting is to get feedback from the product owner and any users or other
stakeholders who have been invited to the review.
● Sprint Retrospective: at the end of each sprint the team participates in a retrospective meeting to
reflect on the sprint that is ending and identify opportunities to improve in the new sprint.
17. Popular Agile Methodologies
Within agile there are some frequently used or popular methods, with Scrum, Kanban, and Lean being the
most popular. Some agile methods include:
● Scrum
● Kanban
● Lean (LN)
● Dynamic System Development Model,
(DSDM)
● Extreme Programming (XP)
● Crystal
● Adaptive software development (ASD)
● Agile Unified Process (AUP)
● Crystal Clear methods
● Disciplined agile delivery
● Feature-driven development (FDD)
● Scrumban
● RAD(Rapid Application Development)
18. Agile - Scrum
● Scrum is a powerful framework for implementing agile processes in software development and
other projects.
● This highly adopted framework utilizes short iterations of work, called sprints, and daily meetings,
called scrums, to tackle discrete portions of a project in succession until the project as a whole is
complete.
19. Agile - Kanban
● Kanban is a popular framework used to implement agile software development.
● It requires real-time communication of capacity and full transparency of work.
● Work items are represented visually on a kanban board, allowing team members to see the state
of every piece of work at any time.
● The work of all kanban teams revolves around a kanban board, a tool used to visualize work and
optimize the flow of the work among the team.
● Virtual boards are a crucial feature in any agile software development tool for their traceability,
easier collaboration, and accessibility from multiple locations.
20. Agile Team
There are three key roles within Scrum:
1) Scrum Master,
2) Product Owner
3) Scrum Team Members
21. Product Owner
● The Product Owner serves as the customer proxy
● He / She creates and prioritizes a product backlog (work to be done)
● The Product Owner is responsible for representing the interests of the stakeholders and ensuring
that the product backlog remains prioritized
22. Scrum Master
● The ScrumMaster is responsible for implementing the Scrum.
● A ScrumMaster differs from a traditional project manager in many key ways, including that the
ScrumMaster does not provide day-to-day direction to the team and does not assign tasks to
individuals.
● A key part of this role is to remove impediments or issues that might slow the team down or stop
activity that moves the project forward.
23. Scrum Team
● The Team is made up of a cross-functional group of 5-9 members who are responsible for
developing the product.
● Scrum teams are self-organized, all members collectively responsible for getting the work done.
● Scrum Teams respond to each other promptly, listen attentively, hear their opinions and not dismiss
them even when they are different to your own. They practice having empathy for the teammate’s
point of view and trying to see things from their perspective
● An art of respecting people is learning how to be assertive and disagree with a point of view,
without sounding aggressive or threatening or just plain argumentative.
