Study Notes
Agile Value Priorities
- Working Software is the most valuable element for an Agile team, contrasting with following a plan, processes, and comprehensive documentation.
Progress Reporting
- Share progress reports and burn down charts with all relevant stakeholders to maintain transparency and effective communication.
Transitioning to Scrum
- Teams transitioning to Scrum often lose detailed upfront planning and architecture, which may affect their approach to project management.
Decision-Making in Design
- The best way to choose between two design patterns is to develop small pilots for both approaches and analyze the outcomes for informed decision-making.
80-20 Rule in DSDM
- The 80-20 rule in DSDM indicates that 80% of value is derived from just 20% of the work, highlighting an emphasis on efficient delivery.
Osmotic Communication
- Osmotic Communication occurs through informal interactions, allowing information to flow through overhearing discussions within the team environment.
XP Practices
- Pair Programming facilitates Collective Code Ownership, allowing for collaborative code development and improved quality.
Lean Principles
- Key Lean principles include seeing the whole and making decisions as early as possible to foster efficient practices and minimize waste.
Sprint Backlog Adjustments
- If the Product Owner wants to add a story to the Sprint backlog, the team should include it only if another item of equal size is removed to maintain scope.
Sprint Cancellation Criteria
- A Sprint might be canceled if it has become ineffective due to significant changes rendering the Sprint Backlog useless.
Handling Incomplete Stories
- Remaining stories in a Sprint should go back to the Product Backlog for re-prioritization rather than extending the Sprint unnecessarily.
Sprint Duration Determination
- The Scrum Team determines the duration of a Sprint, ensuring it meets their workflow and capacity needs.
Addressing Urgent Feature Requests
- The Scrum Master should organize a meeting to explore options for delivering an urgent feature rather than forcing adjustments to team estimates.
Team Division for Scrum
- Dividing a large project team into smaller Scrum Teams should be based on product feature development rather than role specialization.
Benefits of Team Diversity
- Diversity within a Scrum Team enhances different viewpoints and encourages healthy debate, contributing to project innovation and problem-solving.
Supporting Team Members
- A part-time Scrum Master should assess the best way to assist a team member in need, prioritizing team support while managing tasks.
Requirement Clarity
- User scenarios must clearly indicate the needs of all stakeholders and not just focus on the perspective of one individual for effective requirements gathering.
Sprint Commitment Calculation
- A team with an average velocity of 10 and a release backlog of 72 should commit to 8 Sprints to complete the backlog effectively.
Converging Estimates
- When team estimates in Planning Poker do not converge, the Scrum Master should facilitate a discussion among team members to reach a consensus.
Burn Down Chart Dynamics
- A rise in the Burn Down Bar Chart between Sprints indicates potential scope changes, such as added work, affecting the team's capacity to deliver.
