Part 1Introduction Introduction Roles LifeCycle Tracking Rollup
What is Scrum? Classical project management systems, as described in the PMBOK Guide and PRINCE2, and implemented in many classic IT development methods, is not as effectiveas it should be, in cases that: Scope of work changes frequently and dramatically Change Request Change Request Change Request Change Request Change Request Change Request Change Request Change Request Introduction Roles LifeCycle Tracking Rollup
Scope of work changes frequently and dramatically You won’t find extreme changes in construction projects for example; a project initiated to build a hospital will never end up with a product such as a theme park. But in IT projects, a “hospital” can turn into a “theme park”! Introduction Roles LifeCycle Tracking Rollup
What is Scrum? In case of IT projects, we prefer to use a project management system that delivers both of the following characteristics: Being flexible and open to change requests yet Stays agile Introduction Roles LifeCycle Tracking Rollup
What is Scrum? But how? Introduction Roles LifeCycle Tracking Rollup
What is Scrum? There are a family of project management frameworks to deliver both flexibility and agility, which are called: Agile Frameworks Scrum is the most common Agile framework. PMBOK Guide PRINCE2 Agile Introduction Roles LifeCycle Tracking Rollup
We will be both flexible and agile, by following these: Everyone should be aligned with the goal of the project. Different functional departments with professionals who are doing their own jobs and do not bother themselves with the whole project, will not do it for us. Team should be self-organized. The command-and-control system will not work in an agile environment. We should continuously improve our process. Otherwise, we would not be agile enough. We should work inside time-boxes. In order to stay focused and productive in an ever changing environment. And many more things we will see together in this course… Introduction Roles LifeCycle Tracking Rollup
Part 2Roles Introduction Roles LifeCycle Tracking Rollup
There are 3 roles in a Scrum project. Defining other roles is forbidden! Because it’s harmful to the unity of the team, and is not compatible with the philosophy of Scrum. Introduction Roles LifeCycle Tracking Rollup
There are 3 roles in a Scrum project. Product Owner ScrumMaster Team 1 person Full-time or part-time Scrum coach and problem solver 1 person Full-time or part-time Business oriented Normally 3 to 9 people Full-time (recommended) Technical Introduction Roles LifeCycle Tracking Rollup
There are 3 roles in a Scrum project. Product Owner ScrumMaster Team Product Owner: • creates and maintains the list of deliverables (elements of the final product which are presentable to the customer and have a definition of “done”), aka Product Backlog. • Maximizes the value of the team’s effort by keeping the backlog up to date and prioritized. • Effectively communicateswith all stakeholders. • Prevents problems by keeping the backlog clear, transparent, realistic, and agreed upon. Introduction Roles LifeCycle Tracking Rollup
There are 3 roles in a Scrum project. Product Owner ScrumMaster Team ScrumMaster: • Makes sure that Scrum is understood and implemented correctly in the team. • Coaches and leads product owner and the team, in order to improve their productivity. • Helps the team solve their problems. • Directs scrum meetings. • Keeps the team away from distractions. Introduction Roles LifeCycle Tracking Rollup
There are 3 roles in a Scrum project. Product Owner ScrumMaster Team Team: • Producesthe final product in step by step increments of the backlog, in a product-based way. • Is cross-functional and does the A to Z of each backlog item. • Is self-organized, and finds its way, instead of receiving commands. • Is aligned with the goal of the project. Introduction Roles LifeCycle Tracking Rollup
There are 3 roles in a Scrum project. Product Owner ScrumMaster Team Designer Tester Team Manager Coder Senior Developer Team Leader Etc. Introduction Roles LifeCycle Tracking Rollup
There are 3 roles in a Scrum project. Product Owner ScrumMaster Team You’re not allowed to define any roles other than the 3 previously described roles of Scrum. Team members have the same roles and titles, to be reminded that they are supposed to work together with the same goal in mind; although they have different kinds of expertise. Introduction Roles LifeCycle Tracking Rollup
There are 3 roles in a Scrum project. Product Owner ScrumMaster Team So, who is the project manager? There’s notsuch a role in Scrum. And none of the 3 roles of the Scrum act as a project manager. What happens to project management, then? There’s no central point for project management in Scrum. Project management tasks are distributedamong the 3 roles of Scrum.

There are 3 roles in a Scrum project. Now we’ll see what these people actually do… TO SUCCEED! Introduction Roles LifeCycle Tracking Rollup

Backlog creation and maintenance [ Time-box ] Time-box is an essential concept in Scrum. Our solution to being focused and getting things done in an ever-changing environment. It’s a period of time with a fixed duration, that repeats many times. Its duration can be revised, but not changed frequently.
