How Writers Can Thrive in Agile Gavin Austin 2013 Agile Conference
Outline • Problems • Solutions • Benefits
Problems • Terminology • Product Owner? Scrum Master? Daily Scrum? • Meetings • Sprint planning, Sprint review, Sprint retrospective, and Daily “stand up” . • Time • Spend more time on Agile and less time writing documentation.
Solutions • Encourage Patience • No one expected a perfect transition. • Provide Training • Every new employee in product development is required to attend Agile training. • Learn to Adapt • It’s easier to adapt to an Agile environment when writers review its benefits instead of its challenges.
Benefits • Personable Environment • People get to know who they’re working with. • Clearer Communication • Team members meet daily and are encouraged to ask questions and voice concerns. • Fixed Deadlines • People can plan their lives outside of work (and finally take that vacation!) without wondering if a work schedule will interfere.
