Welcome to Digital PO

Sharing what I know has been a passion for me ever since high school. Sharing & discussing what I know has proven to be the best method to sharpen my knowledge. Throughout my university days, I practised this, and my friends believe I helped them a bit.

After coming to the industry 11 years back, I was too focused on the job and training our internal teams. Discussions were only limited to the team, and I was too job-centred, so I never realized what I was missing. Recently I came to the realization that sharing ideas could help me to learn things beyond the borders of my organization.

In the coming weeks, I'm planning to share the little I know about Agile & would like to hear from those out there what they know and think about Agile. Meantime any new and exciting thing I come across will also be shared in this blog. If this can be a forum to share knowledge for a community of agilists, that would make me proud and fulfilling.

Working software may be released to the customer even if not all features are complete or thoroughly tested, as long as it's un

If you are into agile software development, chances are you might have heard some or all of the statements below. "Agile is not a methodology." "Agile is a mindset." "Agile is an umbrella term for many practices." "Change is to be expected. Change is welcomed and embraced." But when I first started learning about Agile, I could not understand it easily. If you are someone like me, I want to highlight what I learned in the last couple of years on agile. What is Agile? Agile manifesto explains the following value of Agile. Individuals and interactions over processes and tools Working software over comprehensive documentation Customer collaboration over contract negotiation Responding to change over following a plan However, despite this definition, one of the most discussed topics is Agile a methodology.
