Today’s agenda
Why scrum?
What works and what doesn’t?
Why?
Team roles and responsibilities
Team capabilities
So that we all understand our place in the project. And so that, while at work, we can be as happy and as effective as possible.

What gets measured gets done
The difference between theory and reality
Why are we using scrum?

For the next 10 minutes reflect on your past experiences.
Form into groups of 3
List all the project you have worked on and rate the team’s effectiveness as
Winners
Losers
Borderline
For each project what were the top 2-3 things that contributed to the success or failure of that project?
Highlight the common themes across your portfolio
Make a short-list of Dos and Don’ts for the rest of the team

Product Backlog = Focus, Next most important thing, Value first, Inventory management
Story points = Sufficient Estimates, Avoids precise mistakes
Sprints = Time boxed, End to end requirements to delivery
Sprint plan = Commitment, Just in time planning, Last responsible moment, Work in progress (WIP) limits
Stand-up = Team communications, Impediments and escalations, Focus on outcomes
Burn down chart = A view of the team’s progress in the sprint, highlighting issues
Sprint Review = Feedback from the customer, (Who is the customer? Hint: customers pay money.)
Velocity = A view of how much work the team can get done, indicated milestones and release dates
Burn up charts = A view of how much product has been built and how much is yet to be done
Retrospective = Continuous learning, Focus on most important issues first (WIP limits), Manage via backlog?
Roles = Accountability, All in, Single wring-able neck
What’s different about scrum?

How do values drive effectiveness?
Manifesto

We are uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and helping others do it.
Through this work we have come to value:
That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more.

Principles behind the manifesto

Our highest priority is to satisfy the customerthrough early and continuous deliveryof valuable software.
Welcome changing requirements, even late in development. Agile processes harness change for the customer's competitive advantage.
Deliver working software frequently, from a couple of weeks to a couple of months, with a preference to the shorter timescale.
Business people and developers must work together daily throughout the project.
Build projects around motivated individuals. Give themthe environment and supportthey need, and trust them to get the job done.
The most efficient and effective method of conveying information to and within a development team is face-to-face conversation.
Working software is the primary measure of progress.
Agile processes promote sustainable development. The sponsors, developers, and users should be able to maintain a constant pace indefinitely.
Continuous attention to technical excellence and good design enhances agility.
Simplicity--the art of maximizing the amount of work not done--is essential.
The best architectures, requirements, and designs emerge from self-organizing teams.
At regular intervals, the team reflects on how to become more effective, then tunes and adjusts its behaviour accordingly

What do we value
Do your values align to the values in the Agile Manifesto?
Are you living the values?
What are the gaps?
(Make a short list of the important ones)

Let’s review what we captured so far

Does Scrum cover the ground?
What are the gaps?
Do I agree with the agile values?
Am I living them?
What can we do about this?
