Agile Development Methods Flashcards

This flashcard set covers agile development methods, a family of approaches that deliver software in short cycles, respond to changing requirements, and rely on close collaboration between customers and teams. The cards move through five areas: the foundations set out in the Agile Manifesto, the Scrum framework, Kanban and flow-based work, planning and estimation practices, and team habits for continuous improvement. Each group starts with basic ideas and moves toward applied situations, so later cards assume the vocabulary introduced earlier.

To study effectively, read each question and say the answer aloud before flipping the card. Pay attention to the reasons behind each practice, not only its name, because exam questions and workplace decisions often turn on why a team chose one approach over another. Work through one group at a time, then revisit missed cards after a day or two. When you finish, try describing how a sprint, a Kanban board, and a retrospective work together in a single project. That final exercise checks whether the ideas connect as a whole rather than as isolated terms.
