Scrum team members know that things get very busy near the end of an iteration. The coding and quality activities need to be wrapped up, demo preparation occurs, the sprint review is held, the sprint retrospective is held, and the next sprint planning meeting is held. If the onsite team team prefers to end iterations on Friday, they might naturally assume they have all day Friday until evening for these activities.

However, look at what that would do to a remote sub-team in India – it would mean working until early hours on Saturday morning. A better practice is to split the end of sprint activities across two days, ideally during the overlap time dedicated for sub-team synchronization. This insures minimal impact to normal working hours at the end of each sprint. It is even more ideal if some of the end-of-sprint activities can be grouped and run back to back during the overlap period.

Backlog grooming or backlog refinement meeting becomes a must for distributed team. Hello there! Your Family, Agile, and You: Using An Action Map To Make Sense Of The To Do List. What do we do when we have a lot of tasks we need to complete? We write them down. So we start writing down the tasks and prioritizing them. But it doesn’t always work.

We don’t always get to start really working on those tasks, getting things done. You know why? Because you’re not using a few simple tricks which make it so much easier to manage a large number of tasks. For example, just look at the drawing, and how it became simple. Visibility is a powerful tool to get things done. An action map provides both visibility and the simple tool to follow the progress of our tasks easily from a need to do task to a completed one. An action map is something very common used in agile software development teams to acquire visualization a bit ahead to way things needs to look like. We can use this simple visibility technique for personal objectives too. With our kids, it’s easier to use the action map to create order out of the tasks they need to deal with.
