What is Agile/Scrum? Scrum is a development framework in which cross-functional teams develop products or projects in an iterative, incremental manner. It structures development in cycles of work called Sprints. These iterations are no more than four weeks each (the most common is two weeks), and take place one after the other without pause. The Sprints are timeboxed they end on a specific date whether the work has been completed or not, and are never extended. Usually Sc...rum Teams choose one Sprint length and use it for all their Sprints until they improve and can use a shorter cycle. At the beginning of each Sprint, a cross-functional Team (of about seven people) selects items (customer requirements) from a prioritized list. The Team agrees on a collective target of what they believe they can deliver by the end of the Sprint, something that is tangible and will be truly done. During the Sprint, no new items may be added; Scrum embraces change for the next Sprint, but the current short Sprint is meant to focus on a small, clear, relatively stable goal. Every day the Team gathers briefly to inspect its progress, and adjust the next steps needed to complete the work remaining. At the end of the Sprint, the Team reviews the Sprint with stakeholders, and demonstrates what it has built. People obtain feedback that can be incorporated in the next Sprint. Scrum emphasizes working product at the end of the Sprint that is really done; in the case of software, this means a system that is integrated, fully tested, end-user documented, and potentially shippable.

What are the Benefits of an Automation System? Your home/office will know how you live, like opening door and it is dark, all your normally activated lights will come on, your thermostat will change to a predetermined mode, and your distributed audio will begin playing background music. Or Anything else you want it to do! When dusk arrives your lighting will come on in places you choose to whatever configuration and dim to levels you normally use automatically. At night, one button push will turn off all lights, appliances and entertainment components, set back the thermostat to economy mode, close the drapes and enable the security system in the night mode. You get the idea! Why should you have to spend time doing repetitive things over and over when your system can work for you?
