  28. Case Study – Medium Scale ScrumMaster Product Owner Lead developer Analyst Daily Scrum The team 1 Week Sprint 12 developers 2 testers 1 PM Fluctuates as needed Product Backlog Sprint Backlog Sprint Planning Potentially Shippable Product Increment Stakeholders Retrospective Customer’s PM Internal PM

  29. Case Study – Medium Scale • Why Agile? • Customer was familiar with Agile and believed iterations was the best method to get to realize their end goal • Key Challenges / Lessons Learned • Stakeholders (customer) was an active participant with respects to the grooming of the product backlog and sprint planning events. • Team consisted of contractors from multiple companies who were all using their own version of Scrum • Utilization of multiple contractors created dependencies that had to be accounted for in Sprint Planning. • Hours were used for estimates to avoid an inconsistent Points experience • Monthly iterations, then bi-weekly, then weekly, then back to bi-weekly in order to get the right amount of feedback

  31. Case Study – Large Scale • Why Agile? • Project was contractually required to follow the SAFe Agile Methodology. • Requirements were vague and customer recognized the benefit in iterative development to achieve the best results. • Key Challenges / Lessons Learned • Deployment into the customer’s footprint occurs at the end of the Release. • Large project team to manage. • Each Scrum Team was responsible for individual features. • Dependencies existed between scrum teams. • Stakeholders (customers) were only present during Stakeholder Reviews and were not active participants during the release planning events. • Disconnected environment meant that the customer could not test the features until the end of a release. • Bi-weekly demonstrations to “sell off” features and to show progress.
