really is? Agile and Scrum are a segment of the
Lean Six Sigma Green belt certification. To

career higher, this training is only the first
step to it all.
This blog further explains the evolution of the
agile framework in a brief. The first notable
thing to mention is that Agile didnt start with
well Agile. Many of the frameworks that sit
under the Agile umbrella are more than two
decades old, and the term agile to define a new
way of developing software emerged from existing
frameworks (some as experiments, some long-lived
already) that needed a new definition, or a new
category for them to fit together. In the 30s,
Walter Shewhart (physicist and statistician with
Bell Labs), looked into process and products
improvement with the PDSA Cycles
(Plan-Do-Study-Act)

In the 1950s, the X-15 hypersonic jet was built
using iterative and incremental development, and
the practice was considered a key for the
success of the jet.

Takeuchi Ikujiro Nonaka wrote an article in HBR
The New Product Development Game which
presented a rugby approach to product
development where a team tries to go the whole
distance as a unit, passing the ball back and
forth., with an emphasis on speed and
flexibility. 1990 to 2001 In 1992, Allistair
Cockburn created the Crystal Framework. Cockburn
probably set the stage for the agile movement,
with this set of frameworks that are
characterized by simplicity, teamwork,
communication and continuous improvement. In
1993, used rapid application development,
object-oriented design, PDSA cycles, and skunk
work to create a new product for Easel
Corporation, and dived into learning and research
on how to make a team reach maximum
productivity. Scrum was born, and presented to
the public in 1995, by Sutherland and Ken
Schwaber. In 1995, Scrum was made public and
software development in pairs was written about
independently but at the same time by two
engineers Jim Coplien wrote Pattern Languages
in Program Design one of the organizational
patterns being developing in pairs in
Constantine on Peopleware, Larry Constantine
reports about seeing Dynamic duos writing code
faster in one of his projects. Both authors state
that programmers working together to write the
same piece of code is the sure path to more
efficiency, faster learning, and higher code
quality.

On February 11-13, 2001, at The Lodge at
Snowbird ski resort in the Wasatch mountains of
Utah, seventeen people met to talk, ski, relax,
and try to find common groundand of course, to
eat. What emerged was the Agile Software
Development Manifesto. Representatives from
Extreme Programming, SCRUM, DSDM, Adaptive
Software Development, Crystal, Feature-Driven
Development, Pragmatic Programming, and others
sympathetic to the need for an alternative to
documentation-driven, heavyweight software
development processes convened., from the
history of the Agile Manifesto. All the above
practices, frameworks, and learning set the stage
for the creation of the Agile Manifesto. The
manifesto signatories came up with the word
Agile to encompass the traits exhibited by the
above frameworks and practices after much
discussion, but in full agreement. Now that you
have learned about the history of agile, it is
important for you to understand the relationship
between agile and scum all together. MindCypress
is here to help you out, complete your Agile
Scrum Master certification, and watch your
career touch the skies. Contact us
