Agile Mind Maps: Exploring the User Wishes

Agile method advocate use cases and user stories, but there are no standard processes or guides available to help gather user requirements. That is why documenting user requirements can be challenging. Without strong communication experience the scrum process can collapse, leading towards unfruitful requirements and imperfect software. This article offers a path to overcome these hurdles through the simplicity and clearness of mind mapping. ConceptDraw Scrum Worflow solution lets explore the user requirements for your Agile development project before they are formalized. You can easily create professional Mind Maps that will effectively collect and structure the information on what a user actually wants, or the “User Wish.”

How to Create a Release Burn-Down Chart

The Agile methodology provides project teams the ability to quickly adapt the project to the current situation and thus achieve maximum productivity. According the Scrum method the steps needed to fulfill the project goal breaks down by using short sprints or iterations. The iterations together with an extensive collaboration can increase productivity by better understanding the entire flow of a project. A release burn-down chart is used to track a progress on a Scrum project. The ConceptDraw Scrum Workflow Solution makes it easy for Agile project team to build any professional Scrum diagram such as a Release velocity chart, Release burn-down chart, Sprint burn-down chart, or a Team velocity chart.

UML Diagram

The accepted open standard that is used in software engineering and system design, when modeling object-oriented systems and business processes is known as Unified Modeling Language (UML). UML was created for definition, visualization, design and documentation software systems. It isn't a programming language, but on the base of UML model can be generated code. UML uses generic set of graphic notations for creation an abstract model of the system called UML-model. The UML notation lets visually represent requirements, subsystems, structural and behavioral patterns, logical and physical elements, etc. UML defines 13 types of diagrams: Class (Package), Use Case, Sequence, Object, Collaboration, Component, Timing, Interaction Overview, State Machine, Composite Structure, Activity, and Deployment. All these types of UML Diagrams can be fast and easy created with powerful ConceptDraw DIAGRAM software extended with special Rapid UML solution from Software Development area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.
