Difference between Scrum and other agile methods?

Hey guys, I want to introduce a flexible method to my boss so that we can hope to implement it in our workplace. I have done a lot of research, but I cannot find what sets it apart from other flexible methods. I think maybe this is a sequential meeting or is it a big dependence on artifacts? Please let me know. Thanks!

Look at wikipedia. Flexible scrum method is at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrum_%28development%29

Here 's another stack question that talks about the difference between scrum and extreme programming (XP). Mountain Goat Software is also included in this.

I will try not to get caught up in the small differences in the different approaches. It’s completely legal to choose and choose methods that you think will best suit your workplace or environment, or those that will most easily convince your boss (and team) to accept. You do not have to be dogmatic about just doing SCRUM or XP or something else.

The key point that I will try to implement (but YMMV)

  • group planning
  • daily growth.
  • iterations with short numbers
  • end of iterative reviews

If I were trying to convince my reluctant boss or team, I would probably start by getting up daily. They are inexpensive / low effort, and if everything is done well, help the gel team a little more, understanding what everyone else is doing and what are the obstacles.

Scrum focuses on how to manage the project, especially with regard to planning and evaluation.

XP (Extreme Programming) focuses on technical excellence and quality within the project, as well as on the low cost of change.

Think of each of them as a toolbar, where one set of tools does not create a home. Scrum relies on the low cost of changes to ensure that its speed measurements and its estimates on the other side are accurate, but in reality it does not provide methods for this. XP has much of Scrum in its practice, although some Scrum methods, such as breaking up tasks into history, may be useful for teams that learn.

Even together, you may find that they do not provide enough funds for adaptive planning, large-scale organizational changes, cultural changes, good hiring methods and many other contributions to a flexible team that often does not take into account the methodology.

I would aim for a combination of Scrum with XP, and you would like to take a look at Lean, Kanban, BDD and Feature Injection, while you are on it - there are some useful tools.

As for the start, here are my two main practices:

  • Try to deliver some software (showcase or release every two weeks).
  • Think about why it was difficult and what to do about it (retrospectives).

Good luck
