Overview to the agile metodologies, by Diego Parrilla

On last Thursday, we received at the offices of abiquo -formerly Think in Grid- the visit of Diego Parilla (Diego’s face), a person who (among other things) gives training on agile methodologies, focusing on Scrum.

Certainly, this kind of methodologies are gaining more and more supporters nowadays due to its simplicity (or hidden complexity) and interaction with the clients and inside the team.

Basically, against other methods (like RUP, FDD, or just XP), Scrum defends the idea of self-organization (nobody assign tasks), short iterations (between 2 and 4 weeks), and the clear separation on the client (product owner) and the supervisor (scrum master).

If you are getting curious about all this, you now know, Diego Parilla is your men!

    An interesting book about Scrum and XP: http://www.infoq.com/minibooks/scrum-xp-from-the-trenches

    It’s free (as in beer) for download.

    Cheers.

  2. Excellent, I’ll check it out.

    Thank you!

    Do you like Scrum or do you prefer another method?

    Hola,

    Para tu interés, un grupo de personas hemos estado creando una base de conocimientos de Scrum en español: http://www.proyectosagiles.org . Esta web sin ánimo de lucro está elaborada de manera que esta gestión ágil de proyectos pueda ser utilizada en diferentes departamentos y negocios (no sólo el de desarrollo de software).

    Esperamos que puedas colaborar con nosotros escribiendo allí tus experiencias con Scrum.

    Saludos,
    Xavier
