I am looking to introduce an agile method to my boss so that we could hopefully implement it at our work place. I've been doing a lot of research yet I can't find what makes it standout from other agile methods. I am thinking maybe it is the consistent meetings or is it the heavy reliance on artifacts? Please let me know. Thanks!
The main difference between traditional and agile approaches is the sequence of project phases – requirements gathering, planning, design, development, testing and UAT. In traditional development methodologies, the sequence of the phases in which the project is developed is linear where as in Agile, it is iterative.
Actually, Scrum may be used as a methodology for producing any product and has been used in the manufacturing process as well software development. Simplicity, flexibility, and close communications and collaboration are the major distinguishing attributes of Scrum.
Here's what makes Scrum different from other Agile methodologies: Work is organized into sprints that last one to four weeks. A product backlog keeps a record of what work needs to be done. Roles are divided into Scrum master, product owner, and development team.
There are 5 main Agile methodologies: Scrum, Kanban, Extreme Programming (XP), Lean Development e Crystal.
Look on wikipedia. The scrum agile method is at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrum_%28development%29
Here is another stackoverflow question that tells the difference between scrum and extreme programming (XP). Mountain Goat Software also goes into this.
