Study Notes
Scrum Fundamentals
- The Product Increment must be "Potentially Release-able" by the end of a Sprint, meaning it should be usable and meet the team's Definition of Done.
- Sprint Review occurs once at the end of each Sprint.
- Limiting the Dev Team size to 9 or fewer reduces complexity and improves communication.
- Scrum fosters tension among roles to promote productivity, with the ScrumMaster encouraging teamwork and experimentation.
Scrum Master Characteristics
- Servant-leadership is exemplified when a ScrumMaster addresses team needs, such as providing spare equipment.
- The ScrumMaster plays a vital role in removing impediments for the team and coaching them in self-organization.
Product Backlog and Roles
- Required attributes for Product Backlog Items include an estimate.
- Optimal Dev Team size is between 3-9 members.
- The Product Owner is responsible for prioritizing the Product Backlog, which contains customer requirements.
Scrum Values and Practices
- Commitment is essential for the team during a Sprint.
- Focus is demonstrated through completing tasks before taking on new ones.
- Courage is shown when team members admit when they do not know something.
Process and Meetings
- Planning takes place in Sprint Planning, and the team should refine the Product Backlog, dedicating no more than 10% of their capacity to this.
- The Sprint Retrospective is held after the Sprint Review and before Sprint Planning to inspect and adapt processes and people.
Quality and Deliverables
- Deliverables must be accepted by stakeholders at the end of each Sprint to ensure quality and relevance.
- Quality is maintained through continuous guidance from the Product Owner during the development process.
Agile Principles
- An incremental process signifies delivering the product in manageable pieces.
- Trust within high-performing teams reduces the need for accountability, allowing for greater autonomy.
Team Dynamics and Communication
- Best practices include empowering team members and facilitating discussions, especially when issues arise during daily Scrums.
- The ScrumMaster should help the Product Owner effectively manage the Product Backlog.
Artifacts and Metrics
- Main artifacts include the Product Backlog and Sprint Backlog, with a focus on maintaining transparency of Scrum artifacts to all stakeholders.
- Team Velocity helps estimate future workloads based on historical data.
Agile Manifesto Principles
- The Agile Manifesto values working software over comprehensive documentation and prioritizes individuals and interactions over processes and tools.
- Kanban represents a visual display of work status, including to-do, in-progress, and completed tasks.
Meeting Management
- Effective Scrum meetings are best facilitated by the ScrumMaster.
- Daily stand-ups focus on team progress and obstacles, promoting collaborative problem-solving.
Understanding 'Done'
- A Product Backlog Item is considered "Done" when it adheres to the negotiated Definition of Done established by the team and Product Owner.
- The primary purpose of the Sprint Review is to assess completed stories and identify opportunities for product improvement.
Time Management
- In Scrum, a time box sets a predefined limit on the duration of an event, promoting efficiency and focus.
- The Scrum approach advocates for early delivery of business-valuable features while maintaining quality standards.
Continuous Improvement
- Scrum emphasizes the "inspect and adapt" philosophy, allowing for iterative improvements based on feedback and evaluations post-Sprint.
