Why Use Scrum? Scrum Overview According to Scrum Body of Knowledge or SBOK (SCRUMstudy, 2016): Scrum is one of the most popular Agile methodologies. It is an adaptive, iterative, fast, flexible, and effective methodology designed to deliver significant value quickly and throughout a project. Scrum ensures transparency in communication and creates an environment of collective accountability and continuous progress. The Scrum framework, as defined in the SBOK Guide, is structured in such a way…

Arthur The story has been passed down through several Generations and in turn has been slightly altered through each iteration. Arthur’s story is generally the same through each iteration but some key features of the story they focus on dramatically change along with how much they focus on battles. The variation between them all makes them unique but some versions are more realistic and follow the storyline of author better. The tale of author has always been a very heroic story about a king…

function (the cost function for ELD problem), and have velocities that direct the “flying” (or evaluation) of the particles. Initialized with a set of random particles (solutions), PSO searches for the optimal solution by updating generations in each iteration. All particles are updated by two “best” values—one called the pbest or personal best…

Iteration One- Brainstorming The traditional solutions for performance management had the design that facilitates the performance of the application that run on the corporate network and are unable to offer visibility beyond the perimeter of the corporate network. About the rapid adoption of the SaaS applications by the various organizations, it is possible to describe the best practices for the adoption of the SaaS within these organizations to resolve the performance challenges. The first…

everything at the end, and solutions and requirements evolve sequentially. Product is broken down into incremental builds which are provided in iterations. Each iteration lasts typically almost one to three weeks, and requires cross functional teams to work together in different areas such as requirement analysis, planning, coding and testing. After each iteration, a working software build is delivered and working product is shown to all the important stakeholders, including customers. The…

1.1.2. Events An event refers to a collection of notes that occurs at the same symbolic time on a theme vector. The theme A in Figure 3.6 consists of 8 events represented in a vector that uses zero-based indexing. An iteration of events is always circular, meaning that the iteration starts and ends with the zero element. In an expression the event iterator is denoted by empty brackets (e.g., A[]).…

A common theme in religion is the idea that mankind is innately connected to the divine, like two sides of the same coin. While some deeply respect and even fear the gods, others, however, seek to become involved in them. In the short story “The Last Question,” Asimov’s proposed future shows mankind struggling to outlast the eventual decay of the universe by forming a collective consciousness. Herman Hesse explores a similar idea in “Siddhartha,” in which our main character Siddhartha attempts…

Evidently, the field of IT project management has…

Beam search is an informed algorithm for searching a graph that extends the Breadth-First search (Jungwirth, 2006). The Breadth-First search is essentially a special-case Best-First search where the evaluation function, f(n) is the same as the heuristics function, h(n) (JONES, 2008). Therefore in order to properly discuss Beam search, there is the need for a brief introduction to Best-First algorithm. The Best-First search traverses a tree from top to bottom and searches for nodes on the same…
