Synoptic Project/ Hiro: AGILE and SCRUM

What is AGILE?
Agile is a time boxed, iterative approach to software delivery that builds software incrementally from the start of the project, instead of trying to deliver it all at once near the end. -REWORD
Values of AGILE:
Trust >> Being able to put your faith in your colleagues, or whoever you’re working alongside to get assigned tasks complete by a designated deadline without speculation or worry is what makes a AGILE such a quick, effective method of working!
Empowering >> Giving everyone in the group a say and allowing them to pitch in and make decisions not only improves morale, but gives every member of the group a sense of ownership over the project which means they’re more likely to see it through to fruition.
Collaboration >> It’s essential to remember that group work is just that: a project put together by multiple people who rely and work together to make a working product at the end.

Correlation between AGILE and our workflow:
Since this is all our first time establishing a competent workflow for developing a game, it’s meant that we’ve had to make sensible compromises when either plans haven’t gone accordingly or we’ve fallen behind on set deadlines for set tasks.
We’ve also set short, sophisticated deadlines for tasks in all tiers of production which results in us having to work quickly and efficiently, also using our initiative to complete tasks contributing towards the game.

What is SCRUM?

Scrum originated from software development because developers wanted a framework for working as a team to deliver a successful product

Values of SCRUM?
The are 5 distinct values to SCRUM:

Courage: Being in a group can lead to the occasional disagreement, two workers bashing heads over either how a job should be carried out, who should do that job or how said work should be presented.
Being put in situations where you're up against someone with an opposing view can help build courage that's pivotal in any industry where you're constantly confronting fellow employees, managers or members of the public.

Focus: It's a valuable skill that's applicable to any work environment and crucial to understanding and process big jobs with tight deadlines.

Commitment: Especially if the project is really big, taking many people, resources and months/years to complete, it's essential that there's a constant drive and incentive to work hard and stay motivated to produce the best work possible with an upright zeal, so each new task is met with passion and determination.

Respect: Trust and Companionship in your fellow team members is much easier attained when said team members respect one another. Whether this be in the tone of their voice or the way they address their colleagues, refraining from appearing narcissistic, condescending and just being more likeable can help win the respect, trust and companionship you need not just to work well together, but to

Openness: transparency is  key when working with other people who depend on you and your contributions to the project. Being cryptic about how ahead or behind you are can cause big problems for all members of the group if deadlines aren't being met. Say for example person A can't begin working on a new module until person B submits their entry for the project which they've promised for a certain deadline. If person B is falling behind, being open and honest about it means someone else in the group who understands what person B is trying to do and distribute the workload between them so the deadline is met.
