The Agile Development Methodology

The Agile Development Methodology

Author: Trevor Page: Java Guru | Programmer | Teacher May 29, 2013 Duration: 42:17

If you've worked as a developer for a corporation, you've likely been exposed to the waterfall model of software development... If not, consider yourself lucky.  I've worked in this model before and it had its issues, but thankfully I was introduced to the Agile development methodology in the latter years of my career as an employee and I got a lot from the experience.  This podcast episode is dedicated to talking about the Agile methodology and recounts my experiences with it and how I went through my days using the Agile process.

In the episode we will talk about:

  • Standup meetings
  • Backlog grooming
  • Story Planning
  • Review and Retrospectives
  • Story Cards and estimation points
  • Sticky Notes for Tasks
  • and more!

Plenty to learn about, and plenty to get excited about!
