Texavi’s Tech Bootcamp is a series of free online courses on agile and digital transformation.Texavi's Tech Bootcamp will equip you to be job-ready with practical and real-time insights, as well as offering access to our treasure of insightful, high-quality resources and materials.
The part 1 of this series will be touching upon the overview and setting the context with introducing the agile mindset. This is very important in order to start the agile journey. We will tread through the foundation of agile, how its different from the mainstream waterfall model, and look at the evolution of the agile development methodologies over the decades.
We will then have a look at the various popular agile methodologies such as Kanban, Scrum, DSDM, SAFe, Lean etc.

• Most popular SDLC model widely used across the industry (till
agile set its foot )
• Involves mostly linearand sequential activities
• Completion of one phase leads to the subsequent phase (water
falling :-)
• Clear&straightforward process, but inflexible. Toughto
accommodate changes
Waterfall model

+++ Advantages +++ - - - Disadvantages - - -
Straightforward and simple Inflexible! A phase must be
completed before going to the next
Rigidity yields defined results.
Simpler process review
Unsuitable for complex, object-
oriented projects
Tasks are easy to classify Small details left incomplete can
halt an entire project
Easy to document…loads of time Not suitable for long-term projects
Phases are completed one-at-a-
time
Software does not get tested until
the final stage of life cycle
Whynot Waterfall

released across iterations (sprints in Scrum)
• Requirements arewritten inthe form of userstories
• Team prioritise theseuser stories and work
• Product incrementis delivered during a 2/3 week cycle(called an
iteration orsprint)
