Developer Soft Skills: Agile Methodology + Stand Ups in a Tech Workplace


Listen Later

This episode we take a break from actual code and focus on the soft skills you'll need to know in an actual workplace setting, specifically the four main components of the Agile Methodology. We then talk about our experiences in the tech workplace and how it applies to us.

The Agile Methodology is one of the simplest and effective processes to turn a vision for a business need into software solutions. Agile is a term used to describe software development approaches that employ continual planning, learning, improvement, team collaboration, evolutionary development, and early delivery. It encourages flexible responses to change.

The four core topics to this methodology which are broken down into more detail are:

  • Ideation - Coming up with the initial concept
  • Featuresets - Breaking that concept into smaller tasks 
  • Sprints - Taking groups of those tasks and executing them in 1 - 2 week segments
  • Standups - Communicating with team members which will allow them to better assist and collaborate

For the secondary topic Andrew and Jason discuss their own experiences with Agile and how it applies to real-life situations.
