Agile Project Management Roles

Agile project teams are made up of many people and include the following five roles:



  • Development team: The group of people who do the work of creating a product. Programmers, testers, designers, writers, and anyone else who has a hands-on role in product development is a member of the development team.

  • Product owner: The person responsible for bridging the gap between the customer, business stakeholders, and the development team. The product owner is an expert on the product and the customer's needs and priorities. The product owner works with the development team daily to help clarify requirements. The product owner is sometimes called a customer representative.
  • Scrum master: The person responsible for supporting the development team, clearing organizational roadblocks, and keeping the agile process consistent. A scrum master is sometimes called a project facilitator.
  • Stakeholders: Anyone with an interest in the project. Stakeholders are not ultimately responsible for the product, but they provide input and are affected by the project's outcome. The group of stakeholders is diverse and can include people from different departments, or even different companies.
  • Agile Mentor / Manager: Someone who has experience implementing agile projects and can share that experience with a project team. The agile mentor can provide valuable feedback and advice to new project teams and to project teams that want to perform at a higher level.

Templates For the FormView control to display content, you need to create templates for the different parts of the control. Most templates are optional; however, you must create a template for the mode in which the control is configur

ASP.net: HttpHandlers

HTTPHandlers: ASP.NET handles all the HTTP requests coming from the user and generates the appropriate response for it. ASP.NET framework knows how to process different kind of requests based on extension. For example, it can handle request for .aspx , .ascx and .txt files, etc. When it receives any request, it checks the extension to see if it can handle that request and performs some predefined steps to serve that request. ASP.NET provides a low-level request/response API that enables developers to use .NET Framework classes to service incoming HTTP requests.So as a developer, One might want to handle some new kind of requests such as requests for .jpg or .gif.

The Clickjacking attack and X-Frame-Options

Clickjacking  Clickjacking is a type of “web framing” or “UI redressing” attack. What that simply means in practice is that: 1. A user (victim) is shown an innocuous, but enticing web page (think watch online video) 2. Another web page (that generally does something important – think add friends on social network) is layered on top of the first page and set to be transparent 3. When the user thinks they are clicking on the web page they see (video), they are actually clicking on the higher layered (framed) page that is transparent There are two main ways to prevent clickjacking: 1.     Sending the proper X-Frame-Options HTTP response headers that instruct the browser to not allow framing from other domains 2.     Employing defensive code in the UI to ensure that the current frame is the most top level window Using X-Frame-Options X-Frame-Options  originally invented by Microsoft for IE8, but supported by a number of browsers, this idea might have more
