- 15. ✦Product Backlog
- 20. planning onion
- 22. 3Cs’✤ card ✤ conversation ✤ confirmation
- 23. ✴ As a ___ i want to ___ so that ___ ✴ In order to ___ i want ___ WHAT & WHY not HOW
- 25. ✴ 3Cs ->confirmation ✴ PREVENT bugs ✴ use mindmpas to identify ✴ given ___ when ___ then ___initial conditions action result acceptance test
- 26. splitting stories ✴ none, one, many ✴ decision trees ✴ workflow ✴ acceptance criteria ✴ external quality ✴ spikes
- 28. ✦Estimation
- 29. we estimate to make DECISIONS
- 30. ๏ estimate is not an actual number..it is an estimate and wrong anyway ๏ what we care about is getting shared understanding and consensus..no worrying too much about actual number ๏ it is just a way to plan and help us know where we are against our plan ๏ you can get estimates about 80% right with 20% of the effort..less effort better estimates!
- 32. ✤ a shared understanding for everyone of what it means for a work to be complete ✤ ensure transparency ✤ guides the team in knowing how many items it can select during the sprint planning ✤ should be visible ✤ set the standards for releasable ✤ checked for every sprint review ✤ changes over time ✤ maintain quality undonework ✤ Best not released ✤ When undone work consciously released make it visible in PB ✤ known size & defined ✤ one sprint max(?) ✤ not bug fixing the importance of done
- 34. Backlog Grooming/Refinement ๏ Focus: to understand and discover information about requirements or problems the users have ๏ what: epic grooming / story grooming ๏ who: scrum team, nice to have business stakeholders (epic grooming), anyone with knowledge ๏ when: before the sprint (during the previous sprints) ๏ time: for 2 weeks sprint 2x1.5h
- 35. Backlog Grooming/Refinement ✓ estimates! ✓ details! ✓ acceptance tests! ✓ ready for selection in sprint planning items! ✓ collaboration
- 36. ✦Sprint Planning
- 37. sprint planning - topic I WHAT when? time? who? ✴ what can be delivered in our product increment? ✴ commitment ✴ check acceptance criteria ✴ capacity first thing of the sprint one hour per week of sprint team, PdO, ScM anyone with knowledge input?✴ Product backlog ✴ latest increment ✴ projected capacity ✴ past performance ✴ Definition of Done
- 38. sprint planning - topic II HOW when? time? who? ✴ how will the work needed to deliver the increment be achieved? ✴ design issues, solution ✴ creating tasks right after discussing topic I one hour per week of sprint (max) team, ScM, PdO if needed, other people with knowledge output? ✴ sprint backlog
- 40. sprint during the sprint? ✴ no changes are made that would endanger the sprint goal ✴ quality goals do not decrease ✴ scope may be clarified and re- negotiated between PdO and team as more is learned consider it as a mini project
- 41. daily scrum when? time? who? ✴are we on track with our sprint goal? ✴update scrum board (owned by the team) first thing of the sprint 15 minutes time-boxed team
- 42. sprint burndown
- 43. ✦sprint review
- 44. when? time? who? ✴ inspect the increment and adapt the product backlog if needed ✴ collaborate on what was done in the sprint ✴ collaborate on the next things that could be done to optimise value ✴ team demonstrate the work that it is DONE ✴ not a status meeting! at the end of the sprint one hour per weekly sprints team, PdO, ScM, stakeholders, in general people who have feedback what?
- 47. "When we say retrospective, here’s what we have in mind: a special meeting where the team gathers after completing an increment of work to inspect and adapt their methods and teamwork. Retrospectives enable whole-team learning, act as catalysts for change, and generate action. Retrospectives go beyond checklist project audits or perfunctory project closeouts. And, in contrast to traditional postmortems or project reviews, retrospectives focus not only on the development process, but on the team and team issues. And team issues are as challenging as technical issues—if not more so" ? E. Derby, D. Larsen
- 48. when? time? who? at the end of the sprint approx. 2 hour for 3 weeks sprint. team, PdO, ScM, other? Purpose ✤ Inspect how the last Sprint went with regards to people, relationships, process, and tools ✤ Identify and order the major items that went well and potential improvements ✤ Create a plan for implementing improvements to the way the Scrum Team does its work Process set the stage -> gather data -> generate insights -> decide what to do -> close
- 49. challenges ✴blamestorming ✴ wasting time ✴speaking up ✴other?
- 50. action poster ✴how to check if we are doing our action ✴how to check if we are doing our action ✴how to measure (success or failure?) ✴who and when? ✴what NO NICE STATEMENTS ..improve communication..
- 51. ✦teams
- 52. groups collection of people who report to the same person, work within the same kind of function or department, require little interdepedence to achieve objectives, have minimal mutual accountability, are not rewarded for achieving common goals
- 53. teams a relative small number of people, with complementary skills who are committed to a common purpose, performance goals, and approach for which they hold themselves mutually accountable -share common goals and the responsibility for achieving them, - share rewards for achieving the goals
- 57. Wageman essential conditions ✴ real team: defined as having clear boundaries, interdependent goal, and clarity of membership ✴ compelling direction: have a clear purpose ✴ right people: all team members add value to the team and have the skills and knowledge to achieve the purpose enabling conditions ✴ solid team structure: including clear roles and responsibilities and working agreements ✴ supportive organizational context: information, time, money, and other resources ✴ competent team coaching: internal or external to the team
