When was scrum introduced? - ☑☑Early 1990s What is scrum? - ☑☑Scrum is a process framework for managing work on complex products. Scrum is NOT a process, technique or definitive method. ... Scrum is a framework within which you can employ various processes and techniques. What are the components of the scrum framework? - ☑☑Scrum teams Scrum roles Scrum events Scrum artefacts & Scrum rules Give an example of a project that can be implemented with scrum - ☑☑Software Development Hardware Development Vehicle Projects Business Operations School/Government Projects... Which theory best explains scrum principles? - ☑☑Empiricism/Empirical process control theory This theory asserts that knowledge comes through experience and making decisions based on what is known. The 3 pillars of empiricism are: Transparency: Aspects of the development process must be visible to all & all aspects must be defined by a common standard. For example, all scrum team members should share the same definition of "done". Adaptation: Scrum team members should make improvements and changes whenever there's deviation from the sprint goal. Inspection: Artefacts should be inspected regularly and progress towards the sprint goal assessed. What are the four formal events that can be used for inspection and adaptation by scrum teams? - ☑☑Sprint planning Daily scrum Sprint review Sprint retrospective What are the 5 values of scrum teams? - ☑☑1. Respect: Scrum team members should respect each other as capable and independent members of the team 2. Commit: Team members should commit towards achieving the goals of the scrum team 3. Courage: Team members should have the courage to do the right thing and work on tough problems 4. Focus: Team members should focus on the sprint goal and the work that needs to be done for the goal to be achieved 5. Open: Team members are expected to be open about the work and challenges faced. Who are the 3 key members of the scrum team? - ☑☑- Product Owner - Scrum Master - Development Team Name 3 characteristics of scrum teams - ☑☑Self-organizing: Team members choose how best to accomplish their work, rather than being directed by other members outside the team Cross-Functional: Teams have the competencies needed to accomplish work without depending on others who are not part of the team Deliver products iteratively: Incremental releases of the "done" product are released. This ensures that a working product is always available. What are the key roles of the product owner on a scrum team? - ☑☑- Clearly expressing Product Backlog items; - Ordering the items in the Product Backlog to best achieve goals and missions; - Optimizing the value of the work the Development Team performs; - Ensuring that the Product Backlog is visible, transparent, and clear to all, and shows what the Scrum Team will work on next; and, - Ensuring the Development Team understands items in the Product Backlog to the level needed. * While the product owner may delegate these functions, they still remain accountable and may represent the desires of others. What are the key characteristics of the development team? - ☑☑The Development Team consists of professionals who do the work of delivering a potentially releasable Increment of "Done" product at the end of each Sprint. Development Teams have the following characteristics: • They are self-organizing. No one (not even the Scrum Master) tells the Development Team how to turn Product Backlog into Increments of potentially releasable functionality; • Development Teams are cross-functional, with all the skills as a team necessary to create a product Increment; • Development teams may comprise 7-9 members, excluding the scrum master and the product owner What are the key roles of the scrum master? - ☑☑The Scrum Master is responsible for promoting and supporting Scrum as defined in the Scrum Guide. Scrum Masters do this by helping everyone understand Scrum theory, practices, rules, and values. The Scrum Master is a servant-leader for the Scrum Team and ensures they are not distracted. How does the scrum master serve the organization? - ☑☑The Scrum Master serves the organization in several ways, including: • Leading and coaching the organization in its Scrum adoption; • Planning Scrum implementations within the organization; • Helping employees and stakeholders understand and enact Scrum and empirical product development; • Causing change that increases the productivity of the Scrum Team; and, • Working with other Scrum Masters to increase the effectiveness of the application of Scrum in the organization. How does the scrum master serve the development team? - ☑☑The Scrum Master serves the Development Team in several ways, including: • Coaching the Development Team in self-organization and cross-functionality; • Helping the Development Team to create high-value products; • Removing impediments to the Development Team's progress; • Facilitating Scrum events as requested or needed; and, • Coaching the Development Team in organizational environments in which Scrum is not yet fully adopted and understood. How does the scrum master serve the product owner? - ☑☑The Scrum Master serves the Product Owner in several ways, including: • Ensuring that goals, scope, and product domain are understood by everyone on the Scrum Team as well as possible. • Finding techniques for effective Product Backlog management; • Helping the Scrum Team understand the need for clear and concise Product Backlog items; • Understanding product planning in an empirical environment; • Ensuring the Product Owner knows how to arrange the Product Backlog to maximize value; • Understanding and practicing agility; and, • Facilitating Scrum events as requested or needed How would you describe a sprint? - ☑☑The heart of Scrum is a Sprint, a time-box of one month or less during which a "Done", useable, and potentially releasable product increment is created. Sprints have consistent durations throughout a development effort. Each Sprint may be considered a project with no more than a one-month horizon. A new Sprint starts immediately after the conclusion of the previous Sprint. Scope may be clarified and re-negotiated between the Product Owner and Development Team as more is learned during the sprint. What happens when a sprint is cancelled? - ☑☑Any completed and "Done" Product Backlog items are reviewed. If part of the work is potentially releasable, the Product Owner typically accepts it. All incomplete Product Backlog Items are re-estimated and put back on the Product Backlog. The work done on them depreciates quickly and must be frequently re-estimated. What typically happens during sprint planning? - ☑☑The work to be performed in the Sprint is planned at the Sprint Planning. This plan is created by the collaborative work of the entire Scrum Team. Sprint Planning is time-boxed to a maximum of eight hours for a one-month Sprint. For shorter Sprints, the event is usually shorter. The Scrum Master ensures that the event takes place within the stipulated duration and that attendants understand its purpose. [Show More]
