agile ramblings 
Agile methodologies require a change in mindset from traditional methods. The central focus has moved from the scope in Waterfall methods to achieving maximum business value in Agile. While in Waterfall, cost and schedule are altered to ensure the desired scope is achieved, in Agile, quality and constraints can be altered to achieve the main objective of attaining maximum business value. Agile methods are more successful in the current market, which is marked by unpredictability and volatility. Agile methods are based on inspect-adapt cycles as opposed to the command and control structures of the Waterfall method. As a project manager, I use Scrum in my projects.
The Guide to Scrum Body of Knowledge by SCRUMstudy provided a complete reference for the Scrum project I am working with.You can go through the first chapter available on http://www.SCRUMstudy.com
Thanks for sharing your experience with Scrum and also this link to the Scrum BOK. I’m excited to check it out.
Cheers,
Joe
