What is a Agile Model? - ANS-adaptive software development methods
What is a SDLC Model? - ANS-Predictive approach/method. It depends on the requirement
analysis and , planning done in the beginning (WATERFALL)
Do agile mehthods use an adaptive approach with no detail planning and clarity on future
projects and tasks in what features are needed? - ANS-Yes!

What are the pros of the Agile Method? - ANS-- a realistic approach

- more risk
- depends heavily on customer interaction
- lack of documenatation
etc.
What are agile method sprints? - ANS-they are several incremental releases
there could be an unlimited amount of sprints before a project is finished.
How long could a agile method sprint may last? - ANS-1-3 weeks
What are the 3 roles in the Agile Method - ANS-1. Product Owner - responsible for defining
features needed in a product
2. Scrum Master - the leader, running the show/meetings, protects the process
3. Team - whoever is helping build the product
What are the 4 artifacts of the agile method - ANS-1. Product Backlog - list ideas and features
that can come with the product, and shows the team
2. User Stories - Describes as a __________, I need _____________, so that ___________.
(estimates size of task
3. Sprint Backlog - understanding/list user stories that are committed to the next sprint
4. Burndown Chart - shows progress in Sprint Backlog by having graphical representation of
work left to do versus time.
