Difference between Scrum and Kanban:                     Scrum:                                                |                                             Kanban:

  Benefit of using Scrum: Transparency among the team, client and stakeholders, so the changes can be visible to everyone, which leads produce quality product. Conducting Daily Stand-Up meeting ensuring Continuous feedback improves Customer satisfaction. Scrum clearly defines the sprint roles. Flexibility to allow quick product changes. Through Early feedback reduces the risk factors and deliver the product on time. Promote flexibility and adaptability. Works for both simple and complex projects effectively.

The most important Agile ceremony in Agile: (Sprint Planning ) The most important Agile ceremony depends on the Agile methodology.  The most important ceremony is Sprint Planning. Sprint planning held at the beginning of each sprint and is where the team identifies what tasks can be delivered in the sprint and how that work will be achieved.  The development team, scrum master, and product owner meet to plan work, discuss work in progress, gather feedback, and more. Other Agile ceremonies that help to empower teams of all sorts include: Daily Stand-up meeting: To discuss progress and identify blockers. Sprint Review: Meeting held at the end of the sprint to review the work completed and what works remain. Sprint Retrospective: In this meeting they talk about What went well, what went wrong and what to improve for next sprint.

 Agile Ceremonies: Agile Ceremonies is an event in the Agile, where the team discuss about what's the next actions is. The four Agile Ceremonies are,   Sprint Planning Meeting Daily Scrum Meeting Sprint Review Meeting  Sprint Retrospective Meeting                           

 Different roles in Agile: 1)Product Owner: The Product owner define the goals and prioritize the task. The Product Owner understands the requirements of the project from a stakeholder perspective.  Responsibility of Product Owner: Create, manage, and revise the product backlog. Manage release. Manage stakeholders.

  Agile is better than Waterfall Model: In Agile the customer has frequent and early opportunities to assess the work being delivered, but in Waterfall doesn’t involve customers in the projects. In Agile changes allowed throughout the development life cycle, but in Waterfall model changes not allowed frequently. In Agile project less re-work takes place because changes are identified in the early stages, but in Waterfall model there is a high possibility of re-work after the completion of a major feature. In Agile Customer feedback is allowed, but in Waterfall model less possibility of getting feedback from customers and the team.

  Disadvantages of Waterfall model: This model is not suitable for complex project. Need to wait till each phase gets complete. Every phase depends on the previous phase. If there is defect in Requirement phase that may continue in later phases. Testing will start only after coding phase. Frequent changes on the requirements are not allowed. Suitable for small size project.
