Scrum Roles

Overview: What is Scrum? Scrum is a lightweight yet incredibly powerful set of values, principles and practices. Scrum relies on cross-functional teams to deliver products and services in short cycles, enabling: Fast feedbackContinuous improvementRapid adaptation to changeAccelerated delivery Understanding the Scrum Flow At its heart, Scrum works by breaking large products and services into small pieces that can be completed (and potentially released) by a cross-functional team in a short timeframe. Scrum teams inspect each batch of functionality as it is completed and then adapt what will be created next based on learning and feedback, minimizing risk and reducing waste.

Training, Assessments, Certifications - Scrum.org. Scrum (development) Scrum is an iterative and incremental agile software development framework for managing product development.

Scrum (development)

It defines "a flexible, holistic product development strategy where a development team works as a unit to reach a common goal", challenges assumptions of the "traditional, sequential approach" to product development, and enables teams to self-organize by encouraging physical co-location or close online collaboration of all team members, as well as daily face-to-face communication among all team members and disciplines in the project. A key principle of Scrum is its recognition that during a project the customers can change their minds about what they want and need (often called "requirements churn"), and that unpredicted challenges cannot be easily addressed in a traditional predictive or planned manner. Later, Schwaber with others founded the Scrum Alliance and created the Certified Scrum Master programs and its derivatives. Each sprint is started by a planning meeting.

Scrum Effort Estimation and Story Points

That is, managers estimate how long they anticipate certain tasks will take and then assign work based on that team member’s total available time. This is problematic because it does not distinguish between a story that is very hard to complete and one that is undemanding; it only considers how long the work will take. To put it another way, coding a feature and organizing the heaps of documentation on your desk are activities that likely take the same amount of time, but there’s no question that the former would require much more sustained concentration and effort. Because of that fact, they should be recognized as incredibly different tasks, requiring different levels of effort. Scrum takes a considerably different approach to determining a team member’s capacity. What does the process of estimation look like? Need an example? Be Sociable, Share!

The Sprint planning meeting is a negotiation between the team and the product owner about what the team will do during the next sprint.

Glossary of Scrum Terms

The product owner and all team members agree on a set of sprint goals, which is used to determine which product backlog items to commit from the uncommitted backlog to the sprint. Often new backlog items are defined during the meeting. This portion of the sprint planning meeting is time-boxed to four hours. Typically the team will then excuse the product owner from the room and break the backlog Items down into tasks. The product owner is expected to be on call during this phase (previously called the sprint definition meeting) for renegotiation or to answer questions that affect the time estimates. Sprint Retrospective Meeting The sprint retrospective meeting is held at the end of every sprint after the sprint review meeting. The sprint retrospective should be time-boxed to three hours.
