Study Notes
Scrum Framework
- Scrum is an agile project management framework that helps teams structure and manage their work through a set of values, principles, and practices.
- Scrum encourages teams to learn through experiences, self-organize while working on a problem, and reflect on their wins and losses to continuously improve.
Sprints in Scrum
- A sprint is a short, time-boxed period when a scrum team works to complete a set amount of work.
- Sprints are at the heart of scrum and agile methodologies, and getting sprints right helps teams ship better software with fewer headaches.
- Sprints help teams follow the agile principle of "delivering working software frequently" and live the agile value of "responding to change over following a plan."
Scrum Values
- Transparency: making it easy for everyone to inspect the work and adaptation.
- Inspection: regularly reviewing progress to ensure it aligns with the goal.
- Adaptation: adjusting to changes and adapting to new information.
Planning and Executing Scrum Sprints
- The product owner describes the objective or goal of the sprint and what backlog items contribute to that goal.
- The scrum team decides what can be done in the coming sprint and what they will do during the sprint to make that happen.
- The development team plans the work necessary to deliver the sprint goal.
- The resulting sprint plan is a negotiation between the development team and product owner based on value and effort.
Scrum Artifacts
-
Product Backlog: a list of new features, enhancements, bug fixes, tasks, or work requirements needed to build a product.
-
Sprint Backlog: a set of product backlog tasks that have been promoted to be developed during the next product increment.
-
Product Increment: customer deliverables that were produced by completing product backlog tasks during a sprint.
Scrum Ceremonies
- Sprint Planning: an event that kicks off the sprint, where teams identify what can be delivered in the sprint and how the work will be achieved.
- Daily Stand-up (Daily Scrum): a 15-minute daily meeting to discuss progress and identify blockers.
- Sprint Review (Iteration Review): a meeting where the scrum team meets to reveal what was accomplished during the sprint and get feedback from stakeholders.
- Sprint Retrospective: a meeting to review what was successful during the sprint and what can be improved upon.
Scrum Roles and Responsibilities
- Development Team: responsible for delivering the work, ensuring transparency during the sprint, and participating in the daily stand-up.
- Scrum Master: responsible for gluing everything together, ensuring that scrum is being done well, and focusing on transparency, empiricism, self-organization, and values.
- Product Owner: responsible for understanding customer and business requirements, creating and managing the product backlog, and setting clear direction.
Conclusion
- Scrum roles are simple to describe, but often hard to map to job titles.
- The development team is the most important element of any agile organization, as they deliver value to customers and stakeholders.
