Rails is agile.
Ummmmmmm………. Am I right??
Agile is awesome n so is SCRUM
Confused????

There are three agile software development methodology out there.
first the XP(Extreme Programming), Second Crystal Clear and third one is SCRUM. SCRUM is what that fascinates me.

SCRUM is all about developing a software in an incremental iterative framework. In SCRUM we provide our client a single running module of project in an certain timeline (generally 2 to 4 week) called Sprint.

SCRUM

In scrum, there are three roles.
1. Product Owner (or client)

The role of Product owner is to just Prioritize the requirement that he/she/they wanted to be developed within a limited timespan.

2. ScrumMaster

The role of ScrumMaster  (or Project Manager) is to prioritize the product backlog (given by Product Owner) and Lead the Scrum meeting (Probably in every 24 hour). Requirements are frozen once they are in sprint backlog. No one allowed to change them even Product Owner.

3. The Team

The team of 5-10 people specializes in cross functional skills (Design, develop,test.. etc.) who does the actual work (build a shippable item in a sprint)

That’s really it.

In Ruby Rake is a software build tool similar to linux’s make, Apache’s Ant.
It is Written and use ruby Language.

In rake you can define dependencies of one rake task on other pre written
tasks.

When we run the rake command it looks for a rakefile to load the rake task for predefined or default rake tasks then it loads rake task passed to it as a parameter.

If one don’t pass it parameters then it lists all the defined rake task.
