agileviitekehystä

Agileviitekehys, or Agile framework, refers to a structured approach for implementing agile methodologies. Agile itself is a set of principles and values emphasizing iterative development, collaboration, and responsiveness to change. Various frameworks provide concrete practices and guidelines to operationalize these agile principles.

Common agile frameworks include Scrum, Kanban, Extreme Programming (XP), and Lean Software Development. Scrum is popular for complex projects, dividing work into short iterations called sprints and using roles like Scrum Master and Product Owner. Kanban focuses on visualizing workflow and limiting work in progress to optimize flow and efficiency. XP emphasizes technical practices like pair programming, test-driven development, and continuous integration to improve software quality. Lean principles, derived from manufacturing, aim to eliminate waste and maximize customer value.

The choice of an agile framework often depends on the project's nature, team size, and organizational culture. While distinct, these frameworks share core agile values. They aim to deliver working software or value frequently, adapt to evolving requirements, and foster continuous improvement throughout the development lifecycle. Adopting an agile framework helps teams become more adaptable, efficient, and customer-centric.
