One of the key advantages of Scrum is that it recognizes how often customer requirements change in the course of a project

The key to Kanban’s agility is limiting the number of tasks in progress at any one time

Many teams use Scrum as their main development process but add elements of XP to overcome specific roadblocks

Because most of the testing in Agile is carried out as a continuous process, not a discrete stage later in the development cycle, the testing strategy needs to be clearly understood right from the beginning

Whole-team testing is effective for simpler projects where a single team is working, but at a large scale it becomes difficult to manage. Where multiple teams are working in parallel an independent test team can support multiple development teams

All the required testing tools should be in place at the start of the project

One of the key advantages of Agile development is the way it brings stakeholders and developers together during the process

Rather than rely on documentation to share information it’s better to have people talking to each other directly

it starts to become a compound sentence it’s probably time to think about breaking it down into two or more separate user stories:
WRONG
Sales staff can take orders and check against inventory levels
WRONG
Sales staff can take orders and check against inventory levels

RIGHT
Sales staff can take orders
Sales staff can check inventory levels

User stories need to be written by the stakeholders to ensure they’re an accurate reflection of what the software will have to do. They also act as reminders to keep in touch with the shareholders throughout the project
