Advice For Agile/Scrum Robot Development

As a returning member of a team which is made up of many students new to FRC this year, I had a few questions about how my team could approach the build season.

This year, we are planning on using portions of the Agile/Scrum development process, which I have limited experience with, but most of the members have never heard of it before. Has anyone used this method before, and what advice would you have for a team new to it? I searched for this on CD before, but the answers weren't very clear (most of them suggested that Agile doesn't work that well for FRC on the whole).

Also, considering that our approximately 35 member team is over 50% rookie, do you have any advice for how to approach a situation in which most of the team has never built a robot before? We do have more than a few experienced members and mentors returning, but our team is currently going through a transformation period.
