After some thought i have decided to write and share some of the basics about Scrum. A lot of people have different views, theories and ways of doing things which they call Scrum. While i do not contest some of those practices but its essential to understand the concepts and strongly agree that every organization team will need to mold and churn some process to make things work. 

So in this series of blogposts, the first one will be addressing the following:

- Scrum and Agile
- Agile Manifesto
​- Agile Principles
- When to use Scrum VS other Methods
- Facts and Fibs about Scrum
- Scrum Timeline
- Scrum Roles and Team

At a later time, i'll share the more advanced stuff and also touch base with SAFE.

It is not possible in some projects (especially in IT projects) to gather all the requirements upfront because of their extreme uncertainties. Therefore, we need a project management method flexible enough to deal with many change requests that appear during the project and keep the project team productive.

There are a number of systems designed to provide these two properties, and a group of them are called Agile Frameworks. Scrum is a project management method of the Agile group; it is the most famous and the most broadly used one.

Scrum is based on a certain process, which i'll explain in the next few blogposts as we progress. This Scrum process will not be effective, unless it is combined with certain roles and artifacts.

Purpose of this post is to describe the Software Project Audit Process which is capable of capturing different  activities which take place throughout a Software Project life-cycle. The main purpose of this process is to audit the quality of the deliverables at the client site. After the auditing, the quality level of the audited activity will be presented using a measurement called Metric.

The process will be used by both the Development team and the Software Project Audit team to derive their own metrics to measure the quality status of a software product in its life cycle. Eventually, the trends of such metrics will be used to predict or change the Projects' way forward by identifying any potential failures which can happen in the future.

Also in this post i will explain the several guidelines used by the Software Project Audit Process for Project Progress calculation, mapping Payment Milestones with Project deliverables and Project Artifact reviewing.

Further, it will explain the way how the process differ from typical software development life cycle and how it has been automated by integrating several testing tools and testing methodologies as well as embedding best industry standards.

Scope of this post is to provide an insight about ;
​

• Software Project Audit Process
• Importance of Metrics
• Analysis of Metrics
• Automated Process of Metric Generation
• Skills required to generate certain Metrics
• Guideline for Project Progress Calculation
• Guideline for Mapping Payment Milestones with Deliverables
• Guideline for Review of Project Artifacts.
