AGILE MANIFESTO

When the IT industry talks about the Scrum framework, It's also often we hear the term "Agile Scrum" along the same lines as "Scrum". It led some of us in the industry to think and look for differences between the terms "Agile Scrum" and "Scrum".

Here is good news for you. "Agile Scrum" and "Scrum" terms do both refer to the same thing. They both refer to the Scrum software

engineering process. Then why do we sometimes use the word "Agile" in front "Scrum"?

It's because the scrum framework fully embraced and embedded the Agile Manifesto (Manifesto for Agile Software Development) to its core process, principles, and underlying philosophy. That brings us to understand the agile manifesto and the values of the scrum process better before we deep-dive the technicalities of the scrum process.

Agile manifesto values:

• Individuals and interactions over processes and tools, • Working software over comprehensive documentation, • Customer collaboration over contract negotiation, • Responding to change over following a plan.

While the factors on the right-hand side do still possess significant values, the agile manifesto appreciates and prioritizes the factors on the lefthand side higher.

The elements favored by the agile manifesto have been carefully time-tested and chosen to:

• Serve clients and stakeholders better and create value for them with software, • Enhance the profession of software engineering regardless of your role, title, and career level.
