The objectives are:Identify and clarify the acceptance criteria (Reminder)

Which is/are the In-scope and out-scope itemsPlot the acceptance criteriaIdentify the task that is needed to accomplish the User StoryPlot the identified task and do time (hours) assessment using Fibonacci (1,2,3,5,8,13,21)

We don’t do much of this;

Because of many things like this;

Royce did not use the term "waterfall". Royce presented this model as an example of a flawed, non-working model. This, in fact, is how the term is generally used in writing about software development—to describe a critical view of a commonly used software development practice.

So what is exactly Agile as a methodology?

What the heck am I talking about?

It is a methodology with a variety of approach in a Humane way for doing work in a software development

In software development it never was actually a scientific, manufacturing and engineering approach but a Social approach of being collaborative and treating software development as a new product development.

Agile Methodology was created by a group of people (Developers, QA, Project Managers, Analyst, Designers and Marketing) for the same group of people to benefit with.

Scrum is a group of guys hugging each other supporting and pushing the opposition as try to capture and secure the ball beneath them, the ball must be rolled and passed behind the teams area to win the Scrum.

I.T in the business world

What is the best methodology? This is the wrong question – life is more complicated than this. There is not one best methodology but a toolkit of methods to select.

But if you choose your method you strictly do it right.
