Episode 14 — Agile Models: Integrating Methods by Use Case and Context

This session reviews the range of agile models—Scrum, Kanban, Extreme Programming (XP), Lean, and hybrid approaches—and explains when and how each is most effective. Candidates are guided through the unique strengths of each framework, such as Scrum’s timeboxing, Kanban’s visualization, XP’s engineering practices, and Lean’s waste reduction. The episode stresses that PMI-ACP is framework-agnostic and expects candidates to understand multiple approaches.

The conversation then shifts to integration strategies, demonstrating how real-world teams often blend elements from different models to fit their context. Learners are encouraged to view agile models as toolkits rather than rigid structures. By connecting models to use cases, the episode prepares candidates for exam scenarios where hybridization or adaptation is the most effective choice. Produced by BareMetalCyber.com.
