[WHAT IS SCRUM ??

Scrum is an agile framework for completing complex projects Originally was formalized for software development

projects Dramatic departure from waterfall (SDLC)

management

Unique because it introduced the idea of “empirical process control” Uses the real-world progress of a project Allows a project’s direction to be adjusted or

reoriented Based on completed work, not speculation or

predictions

Emphasizes communication and collaboration, and flexibility to adapt to emerging business realities

published in the Harvard Business Review Compare high-performing, cross-functional teams to

the scrum formation used by Rugby teams

[ 3 Key Definitions and Points to Remember

Product backlog Dynamic — Items may be deleted or added at any time during the

project Prioritized — Items with the highest priority are completed first Progressively refined — Lower priority items are intentionally coarse-

grained

Sprint backlog Negotiated set of items from the product backlog Team commits to complete during the time box of a sprint Items in the sprint backlog are broken into detailed tasks Team works collaboratively to complete the items in the sprint backlog In daily scrum, share struggles and progress (15 minutes) Update the sprint backlog, task board, and burn down chart accordingly

Potentially Shippable Increment/deliverable could be released Product owner makes the decision about when to actually release any

functionality or deliverable 7

[ PRODUCT OWNER

Person responsible for a project’s success Sole person responsible for requirements and priorities. Conveys vision to the team Outlines work in the Product backlog

Priority based on business value to Customers ! Must be available to team to answer questions and

deliver direction Must respect the team’s ability to create its own plan of

action Forbidden to give the team more work in the middle of

the sprint Cannot alter the sprint until the next sprint planning

meeting Responsibility to consider which activities will produce

the most business value Must deliver the product to the customer

[ SCRUM MASTER

Facilitator for both the Product Owner and the team

No management authority and may never commit to work on behalf of the team

Scrum Masters are real team players, who receive as much satisfaction from facilitating others’ success as their own

Remove any impediments that obstruct a team’s pursuit of its sprint goals

Does everything to facilitate productivity Help the Product Owner maximize productivity Ensure the Product Owner is informed about the

team’s successes10

[ TEAM

Ideal team would include seven members, plus or minus two

Usually, teams are comprised of cross-functional members

Recommended all team members be located in the same room Called the team room

Sole source for work estimates Team has complete say in the amount of work it

takes on Product Owner will expect the team to take on as

much work as possible, within reason Team selects work to fill Sprint capacity based on

priorities and estimates. Team typically needs the entire sprint to complete

its work

[ ADDITIONAL ROLE DESIGNATIONS

Totally Committed & Consult & Progress Accountable for its outcome Scrum Team is PIGS in delivery!

“THE FABLE” Pig and a Chicken are walking down the road. The Chicken says, "Hey Pig, I was thinking we should open a

restaurant!". Pig replies, "Hm, maybe, what would we call it?". The Chicken responds, "How about 'ham-n-eggs'?". The Pig thinks for a moment and says, "No thanks. I'd be committed,

but you'd only be involved!"[ 12

[ THE SPRINT Regular, repeatable work cycle

known as a sprint or iteration Sprint commonly is 2 weeks ( Then 3 & 4 weeks )

Important thing is a consistent duration Team creates a shippable product, no matter how basic that product

is A release requires many sprints for satisfactory completion

This is why Scrum is described as “iterative” and “incremental.” Every sprint begins with the sprint planning meeting, in which the

Product Owner and the team discuss which stories will be moved from the product backlog into the sprint backlog

During the sprint, teams check in at the daily Scrum meeting (Time Boxed!) Also called the daily standup

Every sprint begins with the sprint planning meeting, the sprint concludes with the sprint review meeting, in which the team presents its work to the Product Owner Determines if the team’s work has met its acceptance criteria

(Done) If a single criterion is not met, all the work is rejected as

incomplete The sprint retrospective meeting occurs after the Sprint review

Team share what worked, what didn’t, and how processes could be improved

[ SCRUM IN 30 SECONDS

A product owner creates a prioritized business list called a product backlog

During sprint planning, the team pulls a small portion from the list, a sprint backlog is created, and the “Team “decides how to implement those pieces

The team has a certain amount of time, a sprint, to complete its work (usually two to four weeks) but meets each day to assess its progress (daily scrum).

Along the way, the Scrum Master keeps the team focused on its goal during the Sprint

At the end of the sprint, the work should be potentially shippable (i.e. ready to hand to a customer, put on a store shelf, or show to a stakeholder)

The sprint ends with a sprint review and retrospective

As the next sprint begins, the team chooses another portion of the product backlog and begins working again
