E007: Agile Methodology

Agile Methodology introduces the principles, practices, and mindset behind Scrum, Kanban, and Lean — the iterative frameworks that have reshaped how modern IT teams actually deliver work.

What E007 covers

The course explores how agile methodologies empower teams to respond to change, prioritize meaningful work, and achieve shared goals through iterative progress, developing skills in facilitating agile ceremonies, managing backlogs, and fostering transparency.

Through real-world scenarios and hands-on exercises, students embrace agile values to enhance collaboration, continuous improvement, and success across diverse contexts.

Writing tips for E007

Follow the task instructions and rubric line by line

WGU performance assessments for E007 are graded against a fixed rubric — every rubric line has to be visibly addressed, usually with a labeled heading that mirrors the rubric language. Skipping a rubric point because it seems minor is the single most common reason a competent submission comes back "Not Yet Competent" for revision.

Ground your answer in a specific organization or system, not generalities

WGU evaluators are trained to distinguish genuine IT analysis from a paraphrased summary. Anchor your submission in the specific organization, network, or system the task provides, and show the reasoning connecting your recommendation to that real configuration.

Because WGU is self-paced, don't let "no deadline pressure" become no submission

There's no weekly due date forcing progress, which means procrastination costs more at WGU than at a traditional term-based school — a stalled task can quietly eat weeks of a term. Treat your own target date for each E007 assessment as a real deadline.

Why students seek help with E007

Students sometimes describe agile principles abstractly without applying a specific named framework's actual practices (sprint planning, standups, backlog grooming) to the given scenario.

How GradeEssays helps with E007

Share your team scenario and rubric, and your writer will apply the specific named agile framework's actual practices to the situation, not just general agile philosophy.
