Initiating an Agile Project For Developers
A 59 Seconds Agile Article
This article provides a discussion on ‘Initiating an Agile Project’ and looks to discuss what Agile is and the processes involved when starting an Agile project.
Initiating an Agile Project
We’ve talked a lot about the scrum team: the people who are developing the product. Documentation is only as important as the use the team can make of it.
Within the team itself, it’s necessary to have a product owner, who helps execute the project vision; a scrum master, who ensures that the scrum standards are upheld and distractions are minimized; and a development team, who build the product.
Choosing the right scrum master will help to facilitate the success of the project. By following the four selection criteria, you can ensure the right choice. The criteria are problem-solving skills, availability, commitment to the project, and a servant leadership style.
The stakeholders aren’t necessarily part of the team that develops the product, but they are a necessary part of the process. They can be both internal and external. Internal stakeholders are from within the company, such as the management, who can share the company’s expectations of the project with the team.

User Stories Applied
A 59 Seconds Agile Book Review
User Stories Applied by Mike Cohn is one of our favourite books on Agile User Stories. The book starts with an overview into user stories, and details what a user story is and the different aspects of them.
