    Black Marble Introduction To Scrum - Presentation Transcript

    1. What is Scrum? This Stack is based upon the Redistributable Scrum Introduction Stack from the Scrum Alliance This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike License Richard Fennell Engineering Director, Black Marble Ltd.
    2. Origins of Scrum
      • “ The New New Product Development Game” in Harvard Business Review by Hirotaka Takeuchi and Ikujiro Nonaka , 1986.
        • “ The… ‘relay race’ approach to product development…may conflict with the goals of maximum speed and flexibility. Instead a holistic or ‘rugby’ approach—where a team tries to go the distance as a unit, passing the ball back and forth—may better serve today’s competitive requirements.”
      • Wicked Problems, Righteous Solutions by DeGrace and Stahl, 1990.
        • First mention of Scrum in a software context
    3. Origins of Scrum
      • Jeff Sutherland
        • Initial Scrums at Easel Corp in 1993
        • IDX and nearly 600 people doing Scrum
        • Not just for trivial projects
          • FDA-approved, life-critical software for x-rays and MRIs
      • Ken Schwaber
        • ADM
        • Initial definitions of Scrum at OOPSLA 96 with Sutherland
      • Mike Beedle
        • Scrum patterns in PLOPD4
    4. Scrum has been used in…
      • Independent Software Vendors (ISVs)
      • Fortune 100 companies
      • Small startups
      • Internal development
      • Contract development
    5. Scrum has been used for… Commercial software In-house development Contract development Fixed-price projects Financial applications ISO 9001-certified applications Embedded systems 24x7 systems with 99.999% uptime requirements The Joint Strike Fighter Video game development FDA-approved, life-critical systems Satellite-control software Websites Handheld software Mobile phones Network switching applications ISV applications Some of the largest applications in use
    6. Characteristics
      • One of the “agile processes”
      • Self-organizing teams
      • Product progresses in a series of 2 to 4 week long “sprints”
      • Requirements are captured as items in a list of “product backlog”
      • No specific engineering practices prescribed
      • Uses generative rules to create an agile environment for delivering projects
    7. The Agile Manifesto a statement of values Source: www.agilemanifesto.org Process and tools Individuals and interactions over Following a plan Responding to change over Comprehensive documentation Working software over Contract negotiation Customer collaboration over
    8. Project Noise Level Complex Close to Certainty Far from Certainty Technology Close to Agreement Far from Agreement Requirements Source: Strategic Management and Organizational Dynamics by Ralph Stacey in Agile Software Development with Scrum by Ken Schwaber and Mike Beedle.

    10. Sprints
      • Scrum projects make progress in a series of “sprints”
        • Analogous to Extreme Programming iterations
      • Typical duration is 2–4 weeks or a calendar month at most
      • A constant duration leads to a better rhythm
      • Product is designed, coded, and tested during the sprint
    11. Sequential vs. overlapping development Source: “The New New Product Development Game” by Takeuchi and Nonaka. Harvard Business Review, January 1986. Rather than doing all of one thing at a time... ...Scrum teams do a little of everything all the time Requirements Design Code Test
    12. No changes during a sprint
      • Plan sprint durations around how long you can commit to keeping change out of the sprint
      Change

      Roles
    15. Product owner
      • Define the features of the product
      • Decide on release date and content
      • Be responsible for the profitability of the product (ROI)
      • Prioritize features according to market value
      • Adjust features and priority every iteration, as needed 
      • Accept or reject work results
    16. The ScrumMaster
      • Represents management to the project
      • Responsible for enacting Scrum values and practices
      • Removes impediments
      • Ensure that the team is fully functional and productive
      • Enable close cooperation across all roles and functions
      • Shield the team from external interferences
    17. The team
      • Typically 5-9 people
      • Cross-functional:
        • Programmers, testers, user experience designers, etc.
      • M embers should be full-time
        • May be exceptions (e.g., database administrator)
      • Teams are self-organizing
        • Ideally, no titles but rarely a possibility
      • Membership should change only between sprints
    18. story A chicken and a pig are.... … together when the chicken says, "Let's start a restaurant!". The pig thinks it over and says, "What would we call this restaurant?". The chicken says, "Ham n' Eggs!". The pig says, "No thanks, I'd be committed, but you'd only be involved!". This is the ethos for a Scum team, they are pigs, their neck is on the line in what they have committed to doing. Everyone else is a Chicken, they might be interested in the project but their job is not on the line
    19. Scrum framework
      • Product owner
      • ScrumMaster
      • Team
      Roles
      • Product backlog
      • Sprint backlog
      • Burndown charts
      Artifacts

    20. Sprint planning meeting Business conditions Team capacity Product backlog Technology Current product Product owner Scrum team Customers Managmt Sprint prioritization
      • Analyze and evaluate product backlog
      • Select sprint goal
      Sprint planning
      • Decide how to achieve sprint goal (design)
      • Create sprint backlog (tasks) from product backlog items (user stories / features)
      • Estimate sprint backlog in hours
      Sprint goal Sprint backlog
    21. Sprint planning
      • Team selects items from the product backlog they can commit to completing
      • Sprint backlog is created
        • Tasks are identified and each is estimated (1-16 hours)
        • Collaboratively, not done alone by the ScrumMaster
      • High-level design is considered
      As a vacation planner , I want to see photos of the hotels so I can have a better idea of facilities Priority 4 [10 Story Points] Code the middle tier (8 hours) Code the user interface (4) Write test fixtures (4) Code the foo class (6) Update performance tests (4)
    22. The daily scrum
      • Parameters
        • Daily
        • 15-minutes
        • Stand-up
      • Not for problem solving
        • Whole world is invited
        • Only team members, ScrumMaster, product owner, can talk
      • Helps avoid other unnecessary meetings
    23. Everyone answers 3 questions
      • These are not status for the ScrumMaster
        • They are commitments in front of peers
      What did you do yesterday? 1 What will you do today? 2 Is anything in your way? 3
    24. The sprint review
      • Team presents what it accomplished during the sprint
      • Typically takes the form of a demo of new features or underlying architecture
      • Informal
        • 2-hour prep time rule
        • No slides
      • Whole team participates
      • Invite the world
    25. Sprint retrospective
      • Periodically take a look at what is and is not working
      • Typically 15–30 minutes
      • Done after every sprint
      • Whole team participates
        • ScrumMaster
        • Product owner
        • Team
        • Possibly customers and others
    26. Start / Stop / Continue
      • Whole team gathers and discusses what they’d like to:
      Start doing Stop doing Continue doing This is just one of many ways to do a sprint retrospective.
    27. Scrum framework
      • Product owner
      • ScrumMaster
      • Team
      Roles
      • Sprint planning
      • Sprint review
      • Sprint retrospective
      • Daily scrum meeting
      Ceremonies
      • Product backlog
      • Sprint backlog
      • Burndown charts
      Artifacts
    28. Product backlog
      • The requirements
      • A list of all desired work on the project
      • Ideally expressed such that each item has value to the users or customers of the product
      • Prioritized by the product owner
      • Reprioritized at the start of each sprint
      This is the product backlog
    29. A sample product backlog Priority Backlog item Story Point Estimate 1 Allow a guest to make a reservation 3 2 As a guest, I want to cancel a reservation. 5 3 As a guest, I want to change the dates of a reservation. 3 4 As a hotel employee, I can run RevPAR reports (revenue-per-available-room) 8 5 Improve exception handling 8 6 ... 30
    30. The sprint goal
      • A short statement of what the work will be focused on during the sprint
      Database Application Financial services Life Sciences Support features necessary for population genetics studies. Support more technical indicators than company ABC with real-time, streaming data. Make the application run on SQL Server in addition to Oracle.
    31. Managing the sprint backlog
      • Individuals sign up for work of their own choosing
        • Work is never assigned
      • Estimated work remaining is updated daily
      • Any team member can add, delete or change the sprint backlog
      • Work for the sprint emerges
      • If work is unclear, define a sprint backlog item with a larger amount of time and break it down later
      • Update work remaining as more becomes known
    32. A sprint backlog Tasks Code the user interface Code the middle tier Test the middle tier Write online help Write the foo class Mon Tues Wed Thur Fri
    33. A sprint burndown chart Hours
    34. Hours 40 30 20 10 0 Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Tasks Code the user interface Code the middle tier Test the middle tier Write online help Mon 8 16 8 12 Tues Wed Thur Fri 50
    35. Team Velocity
      • Over a number of sprints you will see how many story points you can achieve – the velocity
      • This allows you to predict delivery times based on number of story points outstanding
      • REMEMBER – one team’s story point is not the same as anothers
    36. Scalability
      • Typical individual team is 7 ± 2 people
        • Scalability comes from teams of teams
      • Factors in scaling
        • Type of application
        • Team size
        • Team dispersion
        • Project duration
      • Scrum has been used on multiple 500+ person projects
    37. Scaling through the Scrum of scrums
    38. Scrum of scrums of scrums
    39. Tools for Scrum
      • Postcards & Post-Its
      • Scrum board

    40. Tools for Scrum
      • Often need to record the sprint progress
        • Digital Camera
        • Excel
      • However we also want to
        • Link to development tools such as TFS
        • Support remote development teams
    41. Scrum and TFS
      • There are at least three Scrum Process Guidance Templates
        • Conchango’s Scrum for Team System
        • Microsoft’s eScrum
        • VSTS Scrum Process Template from CodePlex

      • Scrum is an agile process that allows us to focus on delivering the highest business value in the shortest time.
      • It allows us to rapidly and repeatedly inspect actual working software (every two weeks to one month).
      • The business sets the priorities. Teams self-organize to determine the best way to deliver the highest priority features.
      • Every two weeks to a month anyone can see real working software and decide to release it as is or continue to enhance it for another sprint.
