Scrum

The Scrum methodology takes an agile approach to development that accomplishes iterations in short cycles called sprints. When you follow this methodology, you create a product backlog that captures the planned functionality, corresponding business value, and sprint timelines for your application.

You can use Pega Agile Studio and the Agile Workbench tool to synchronize your product backlog with the bugs and stories that your team creates during application development. By using Agile Workbench, you can quickly view and analyze user stories, bugs, and feedback items that your team works on. For greater convenience, you can apply filters, and, for example, display only those items that correspond to a specific case type that you develop. You can also quickly mark items that meet acceptance criteria, to communicate project progress to other team members. To provide more information, you can conveniently take a screenshot or record a video, and then attach it to a user story, bug, or feedback item in the Agile Workbench.

Iterative Waterfall

The Iterative Waterfall methodology takes an iterative approach to development that uses the following phases: Business Value Assessment (BVA), Conception, Elaboration, Construction, and Transition.

Because the phases in this methodology are flexible, you can adapt Iterative Waterfall to fit projects of any size.

Specifications in Iterative Waterfall are commonly called use cases.
