Read the Vision Quest Software Case Study linked in the Supporting Materials section below. Using the case study, assume your selected role and imagine you are transitioning from waterfall to Agile. This is a trial process as the company aims to learn the most effective approach to implementing a new methodology. As the culture shift occurs, it is important to communicate with your team members and discuss which Agile practices and aspects should be incorporated into your team. If you disagree with any practices, provide justification to your team for why they should not be included. Focus on your specific role and how the practices will help you be more effective in your job. When considering team suggestions, ask clarifying questions and direct communication to specific roles as needed. When your classmates ask questions about your role, provide clear feedback. Likewise, give clear feedback on the practices you want to implement. Work together as a team to accept and adopt at least one practice submitted by each team member.

All team members are expected to actively participate in this discussion beyond their initial posts. You must engage with your team starting at the beginning of the module. Students who have not actively participated through substantive contributions to the group discussion will not earn credit.

You will earn points for this discussion as follows:

For your initial post, do the following:

By Day Three of Module Six: Create an$$initial post in which you select a Scrum role not yet chosen by a teammate.$$

In two fully developed paragraphs, describe how your chosen role will support the implementation of the new methodology at Vision Quest Software.

Recommend at least two Agile practices that should be implemented in your team.
