Agile Frameworks/Methodologies are adaptive approaches to project management that emphasize iterative progress, team collaboration, and customer feedback. For the CAPM certification, understanding Agile is essential as it represents a shift from traditional waterfall methods. Scrum is the most popular Agile framework, featuring roles like Scrum Master, Product Owner, and Development Team. Work is organized into time-boxed iterations called Sprints (typically 1-4 weeks), with events including Sprint Planning, Daily Standups, Sprint Review, and Sprint Retrospective. The Product Backlog contains all requirements. Kanban focuses on visualizing workflow, limiting work-in-progress, and continuous delivery. Teams use Kanban boards to track tasks moving through columns representing workflow stages. Extreme Programming (XP) emphasizes technical excellence through practices like pair programming, test-driven development, continuous integration, and small releases. Lean software development applies manufacturing principles to reduce waste and maximize value, using concepts like eliminating waste, amplifying learning, and optimizing the whole. Feature-Driven Development (FDD) organizes work around features important to clients, with five processes: develop overall model, build feature list, plan by feature, design by feature, and build by feature. Crystal is a family of methodologies tailored to team size and project criticality, emphasizing frequent delivery and close communication. Dynamic Systems Development Method (DSDM) provides a framework for rapid delivery, prioritizing requirements through MoSCoW (Must have, Should have, Could have, Won't have). Agile methods share common principles from the Agile Manifesto: valuing individuals and interactions, working software, customer collaboration, and responding to change. For CAPM, understanding these frameworks helps recognize when and how to apply Agile approaches in various project environments.
