Agile Frameworks

Description

Agile frameworks are specific sets of rules, roles, and rituals that help teams put Agile principles into practice. Think of Agile as the "philosophy" (the why) and Frameworks as the "operating systems" (the how).


Agile frameworks provide:

  • A set of roles (e.g., Scrum Master, Product Owner)
  • Ceremonies (e.g., daily stand-ups, retrospectives)
  • Artifacts (e.g., backlogs, boards)
  • Rules and guidelines for iterative delivery


They translate Agile philosophy into practical, repeatable processes that teams can follow.
