A sprint is a subset of requirements, which the team has to develop and \/ or implement in a defined period of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most importantly, each sprint is a thematic unit with its own full meaning. When the sprint is delivered, the team loads the functionality into the shared work environment for the customer to test. <strong>Designated users test functionality after delivery<\/strong> to continue sprint validation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The<strong> cycles in which the sprints are framed are short<\/strong>. They will depend on the project and the type of tasks to be carried out, but it could be estimated on average between 2 and 4 weeks. After this period, the result is displayed to the client.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Working sequentially,<strong> the team<\/strong> has the possibility to make the project into small thematic blocks and perfect them from one sprint to another. For the client, it translates into the fact that <strong>they can progressively visualize the results and change decisions more quickly<\/strong> if rectification is required. You don&#8217;t have to wait until the end of the project to see the results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"2\">\n<li><br><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sprint_planning\"><\/span><strong>Sprint planning<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><br><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is a meeting that the entire Scrum team attends to mark the tasks that will comprise a sprint and the objectives that must be met (<strong>sprint objetive<\/strong>). At the end of this meeting, it should be clear <strong>what will be done during that sprint<\/strong> (based on this, the tasks of the product order book are chosen) and <strong>how it will be carried out<\/strong> (i.e. what actions will need to be carried out for each chosen item in the product portfolio).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"3\">\n<li><br><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Daily_meeting\"><\/span><strong>Daily meeting<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><br><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>daily meeting is a short meeting<\/strong> (a maximum of 15 minutes is recommended), in which the Scrum Master and Scrum Team participate. In it, the progress of the tasks is assessed daily. Specifically, <strong>each team member reviews the work they did yesterday, what they plan to do today, and whether they have encountered any obstacles<\/strong> that jeopardize the delivery of the sprint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They are brief meetings in which you must go straight to the point.

And the reality is that, although they are closely related, they are not the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Agile<\/strong> is more than a working methodology. It is a set of principles to follow, a way of doing things and a culture of thought. <strong>It is based on a set of good practices and recommended methods<\/strong> described in the Agile Manifesto (you can check it <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/agilemanifesto.org\/iso\/en\/manifesto.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/strong><\/span>). It was introduced in 2001 as an alternative to traditional software methodologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Scrum<\/strong>, for its part, <strong>is the best known approach or framework of the Agile methodology<\/strong>. There are other approaches such as Kanban or Crystal. For their part, these frameworks are no longer exclusive to the IT industry and could be applicable in other sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>You may also like:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.triangle.es\/en\/why-should-smbs-invest-on-the-cloud\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Why should SMBs invest on the cloud?<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.triangle.es\/en\/how-to-survive-the-implementation-of-an-erp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How to survive the implementation of an ERP?<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.triangle.es\/en\/how-to-choose-a-business-intelligence-software\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How to choose a Business Intelligence software?<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Scrum methodology is framed within the Agile work, the purpose is to be able to deliver value to the &#8230; <\/p>\n<p class=\"read-more-container\"><a title=\"What is Scrum methodology?\" class=\"read-more button\" href=\"https:\/\/triangle.desarrollobirdcom.es\/en\/sin-categorizar\/what-is-scrum-methodology\/#more-20668\" aria-label=\"Read more about What is Scrum methodology?\">LEER M\u00c1S<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":20665,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20668","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sin-categorizar","generate-columns","tablet-grid-50","mobile-grid-100","grid-parent","grid-33"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/triangle.desarrollobirdcom.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20668","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/triangle.desarrollobirdcom.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/triangle.desarrollobirdcom.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/triangle.desarrollobirdcom.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/triangle.desarrollobirdcom.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20668"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/triangle.desarrollobirdcom.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20668\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":27000,"href":"https:\/\/triangle.desarrollobirdcom.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20668\/revisions\/27000"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/triangle.desarrollobirdcom.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20668"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/triangle.desarrollobirdcom.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20668"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/triangle.desarrollobirdcom.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20668"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
