Curso 1 de 4 em Specialization Software Development Lifecycle

Software is quickly becoming integral part of human life as we see more and more automation and technical advancements. Just like we expect car to work all the time and can't afford to break or reboot unexpectedly, software industry needs to continue to learn better way to build software if it were to become integral part of human life. In this course, you will get an overview of how software teams work? What processes they use? What are some of the industry standard methodologies? What are pros and cons of each? You will learn enough to have meaningful conversation around software development processes. After completing this course, a learner will be able to 1) Apply core software engineering practices at conceptual level for a given problem. 2) Compare and contrast traditional, agile, and lean development methodologies at high level. These include Waterfall, Rational Unified Process, V model, Incremental, Spiral models and overview of agile mindset 3) Propose a methodology best suited for a given situation

So as we know that Agile is a mindset.

So the question is how do you actually apply

these mindsets on a software development process?

Well, the good news is that there are lots of frameworks that are available that you can

use to apply these Agile mindsets for your team or for your project.

But there is no silver bullet.

So you have to customize this framework to

meet the needs of your team your project or your organization.

And the key to customization is to make sure that

you stay true to the principles and the value of

Agile and not get bogged down by the rituals or practices of a specific framework.

So let's familiarize ourselves some of these frameworks which are out there.

One of the most common one is called Scrum.

And Scrum is based on this one to

four-week cycle where you take part of your project and you do your define,

your develop, your design,

and you test your software,

and so your product is developed incrementally.

Another popular one is called Kanban which is based on

a continuous flow model where you basically try

to optimize your existing software development process.

Then, of course, there is a combination of these two called Scrumban where you use Scrum

as your primary framework and then you use

Kanban to optimize your flow within your sprint.

Another one popular which is similar to Scrum is called XP and so XP has most of

the practices of Scrum but it also defines

some engineering practices which are very crucial for an Agile team.

Then, of course, there is the hybrid of a Scrum and XP.

Another one which has become quite popular recently

is called Lean Startup which helps you

if you have lot of unpredictable market or industry

and you want to really prove your solution before you implement it.

So Lean Startup helps you in that area and there are many more.

And more often than not,

organizations actually end up customizing some of these frameworks to

meet the need of their team or their project or the organization.

And if I may repeat,

I want to make sure that you stay true to the Agile principles and

practices and not get bogged down by the rituals or practices of a specific framework.

In terms of popularity,

Scrum is by far the most popular of all.

It's about 70% of the Agile teams use either Scrum or one of these variants.

And that's how sometimes people equate Agile to Scrum which you,

of course, you can see that it's not true.

There are so many frameworks out there that you can use for your Agile implementation.
