-Scrum-My-Life-: Session 01: Software Development Life Cycle.

For the first session we will discuss about the famous SDLC we all know about, I noticed when people starts to introduce Agile the first thing they do is to show how bad the traditional life cycle is. I don't think they mean that literally. I think the SDLC is essential but the understanding and the application of it in real life is wrong. That's why i want everyone to know what are the phases every software project goes through and what is the best way to apply this in the projects.

Discussion Questions:

Student will be divided into small groups and discuss the following questions:

What are the advantages and disadvantages of the waterfall model? And what can we do to avoid the disadvantages?
Can a software project skip any phase of the SDLC?
How much of every phase is really required?
What is the relation between the phases?
Who is responsible of every phase?
Way it drown why it is looks like a stare? And why it is called waterfall?
What other models exists? And what additions they provide?

I believe this is an essential knowledge for everyone to be able to discuss the Agile methods later.
