Scrum

Scrum is an iterative and incremental agile software development framework for managing software projects and product or application development. Its focus is on "a flexible, holistic product development strategy where a development team works as a unit to reach a common goal" as opposed to a "traditional, sequential approach". [ edit ] History Scrum was first defined as "a flexible, holistic product development strategy where a development team works as a unit to reach a common goal" as opposed to a "traditional, sequential approach" in 1986 by Hirotaka Takeuchi and Ikujiro Nonaka in the "New New Product Development Game". [ 1 ] Hirotaka Takeuchi and Ikujiro Nonaka later argued in "The Knowledge Creating Company" [ 2 ] both by Ikujiro Nonaka and Hirotaka Takeuchi that it is a form of "organizational knowledge creation, [...] especially good at bringing about innovation continuously, incrementally and spirally".

The Puf Principle: Online burndown chart generator

http://frank.vanpuffelen.net/2007/08/online-burndown-chart-generator.html One of the aspects of Scrum is its focus on transparency - getting all information out in the open. And one of the areas that enables the transparency is the burndown chart. It's a public posting of the progress of the team throughout its current sprint. On the horizontal axis you see the days of this sprint. The vertical axis describes the amount of work.

The ScrumMaster Role

Posted by admin under Scrum Basics There are three fundamental roles in the Scrum method of agile software development: the Product Owner , the ScrumMaster, and the team. The second role I’d like to examine is the ScrumMaster, who, serves as a facilitator for both the Product Owner and the team. He or she has no management authority and may never commit to work on behalf of the team.

Introduction to Scrum - An Agile Process

Scrum is used in the agile process for software development. But rather than a full process or methodology, it is a framework. So instead of providing complete, detailed descriptions of how everything is to be done on the project, much is left up to the software development team. This is done because the team will know best how to solve the problem they are presented. This is why, for example, a sprint planning meeting is described in terms of the desired outcome (a commitment to a set of features to be developed in the next sprint) instead of a set of Entry criteria, Task definitions, Validation criteria, and Exit criteria (ETVX) as would be provided in most methodologies. Scrum relies on a self-organizing, cross-functional team.
Scrum is an agile framework for completing complex projects. Scrum originally was formalized for software development projects, but works well for any complex, innovative scope of work. The possibilities are endless. The Scrum framework is deceptively simple. The Scrum Framework in 30 Seconds http://www.scrumalliance.org/learn_about_scrum
