Burndown • What is Scrum • Tech·Ed Daily Scrum • Q&A (the fun part)
What Is Scrum? • Scrum is an agile process that allows us to focus on delivering the highest business value in the shortest time • It allows the business to rapidly and repeatedly inspect actual working software • Stresses communication
Characteristics • Self-organizing teams • Product progresses in a series of month-long (or shorter) “sprints” • Requirements are captured as items in a list of “product backlog” • No specific engineering practices prescribed • Can use any methodology you like
Sidebar: Scrum in the Real World • Corzen’s Data Engine Development in 2006 • Sprint 1: infrastructure • Sprint 2: new engine (XML/reflection) • Business value: Enabled multiple sites • Sprint 3: vertical independent engine • Business value: one data engine for all spidering • Sprint 4: distributed processing (Seti@Home style) • Business value: unlimited spidering via cheap VPSes • Sprint 5: management (WCF) • Business value: thousands of spiders, 1 admin
Product Owner • Define the features of the product • Decide on release date and content • Be responsible for the profitability of the product (ROI) • Prioritize features according to market value • Adjust features and priority every iteration, as needed • Accept or reject work results
The ScrumMaster • Represents management to the project • Responsible for enacting Scrum values and practices • Removes impediments • Ensure that the team is fully functional and productive • Enable close cooperation across all roles and functions • Shield the team from external interferences
The Team • Typically 4–9 people • Cross-functional: • Programmers, testers, user experience designers, etc. • Members should be full-time • May be exceptions (DBA) • Teams are self-organizing • Ideally, no titles but rarely a possibility • Membership should change only between sprints
Low Bandwidth Business Users • Video conf • Evening sessions
Joel’s Insurance App • It is PET insurance • Not REAL insurance • He is Canadian you know…
Product Backlog • The requirements • A list of all desired work on the project • Ideally expressed such that each item has value to the users or customers of the product • Prioritized by the product owner • Reprioritized at the start of each sprint This is the product backlog
Sprints • Scrum projects make progress in a series of “sprints” • Analogous to Extreme Programming iterations • Typical duration is 2–4 weeks or a calendar month at most • A constant duration leads to a better rhythm • Product is designed, coded, and tested during the sprint
No Changes During a Sprint • Plan sprint durations around how long you can commit to keeping change out of the sprint Change
Burndown • What is Scrum • Tech·Ed Daily Scrum • Q&A (the fun part)
The Daily Scrum • Parameters • Daily • 10–15 minutes • Stand-up • Not for problem solving • Helps avoid other unnecessary meetings • Great way to manage remote teams • Prevents teams from wasting time
