When teams first start agile development, little has changed, other than perhaps more meetings on the schedule. They may still operate separately or limit their interactions with customers. You might see the work break down into waterfall kind of tasks, then design user stories, then build stories, then test stories. Therefore, the “Agile Teams” are agile in form when they just walk around without understanding or accepting agile principles and values. Teams become agile when they think and act in line with agile values and principles.

Definition of Ready in Scrum
The Definition of Ready is a set of agreements that lets everyone know when something is ready to begin, e.g., when a user story is ready to be taken into a sprint, or when all necessary conditions are right for a team to start a sprint. An appropriate definition of ready will substantially improve the Scrum team’s chance of successfully meeting its sprint goal.

Transparency is the first important aspect of the Scrum process and must be visible to those responsible for the outcome. Transparency requires that these aspects be defined in their daily activities and artifacts so that teams can share a common understanding of what they see.

Strategic analysis is the core step of the strategic planning cycle. Every strategist should have a set of analytical model tools to deal with. However, there are many techniques and tools available for strategic analysis. If you search Google on the Internet, you will find many options available.

The context diagram shows the system considered as a single high-level process, and then shows the relationship of the system to other external entities (systems, organizational groups, external data stores, and so on). Another name for a context diagram is a context-level data flow graph or 0-level DFD.

One of the effective way to solve a complex problem is to break it down into simpler sub-problems. You start by breaking down the whole task into simpler parts. Step-by-step refinement is essentially a decomposition of the system to gain insight into the subsystems that make up the system, known as the top-down decomposition method.

A Scatter Plot (also known as a scatter Chart, and Correlation Plot) is a tool for analyzing the relationship between two variables, used to determine the degree of correlation between two variables. One variable is plotted on the horizontal axis and the other on the vertical axis. The pattern of their intersection points graphically displays the relational pattern. It is one of the Seven Basic Tools of Quality.

Fault tree analysis (FTA) is a top-down deductive fault analysis in which Boolean logic is used in conjunction with a series of low-level events to analyze the unexpected states of the system. This analysis method is primarily used in safety engineering and reliability engineering to understand how systems fail, determine the best way to reduce risk, and determine (or feel) the event rate of safety incidents or specific system-level (functional) failures.

Both T-charts and Y-charts help to graphically organize and record ideas, feelings and information, while identifying and focusing on what teachers / students already know, understand, value and can do. It enables students / teachers / teachers to compare and contrast ideas, feelings and information in various context.
