Scrum with Visual Studio Online

Thessaloniki .NET Meetup + Agile Greece United!

Scrum is an iterative and incremental agile software development (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agile_software_development) methodology for managing product development. It defines "a flexible, holistic (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holism) product development strategy where a development team works as a unit to reach a common goal", challenges assumptions of the "traditional, sequential approach" to product development, and enables teams to self-organize by encouraging physical co-location or close online collaboration of all team members, as well as daily face-to-face communication among all team members and disciplines in the project.

A key principle of scrum is its recognition that during production processes, the customers can change their minds about what they want and need (often called "requirements churn"), and that unpredicted challenges cannot be easily addressed in a traditional predictive or planned manner. As such, scrum adopts an empirical (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empirical) approach-accepting that the problem cannot be fully understood or defined, focusing instead on maximizing the team's ability to deliver quickly and respond to emerging requirements.

In this meetup we will focus on theory part and we will see see how to apply scrum on our projects using visual studio online!
