Scrum in a nutshell

Agile Manifesto
The soul of Scrum
We are uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and helping others do it. Through this work we have come to value:
Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
Working software over comprehensive documentation
Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
Responding to change over following a plan
That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more.

Scrum in a nutshell (I)
Scrumisanempiricalframeworkwhithinwhichcomplexproductscan be developed
Workisperformed in 2-4 week, fixed-lengthiterationscalledSprints, whichfolloweachotheruntilprojectcompletion
Requirements and anyotherchangerequest are managedusing a prioritized and estimatedlistcalledProductBacklog
TheProductBacklogismanagedbytheProductOwner, whocollaborateswiththestakeholders and theTeam. Prioritizationisguidedby ROI

Scrum in a nutshell (II)
TheScrumMasterassuresthatScrumisproperly done, coachestheTeam and managesissues
Thecross-functional and self-organizedTeam(s)is (are) composed of 7±2 people
At thebeginning of each Sprint, theSprint Planningmeetingisheld, wheretheTeamcommitsto a part of thehigherpriorityProductBacklog. They figure outthewaytostartworking in theitems, bybuildingtheSprint Backlog, a listcontainingthetaskswhichrepresenttheworkto be done duringthe Sprint

9
Scrum in a nutshell (III)
At theend of each Sprint, theTeam tries todeliveranincrement of potentiallyshippable, valuablefunctionality
Once thecommitment has beenmade, thescope, Team and duration are fixedforthat Sprint
Everydayduringthe Sprint, theTeamholdstheDailyScrummeeting, whereprogressistracked, impediments are surfaced, and workisplanned

Scrum in a nutshell (IV)

11
Scrum in a nutshell (V)
At theend of eachSprint, theTeam shows thecompletedincrement at theSprint Reviewmeeting. TheProductOwnergathersfeedbackto be takenintoaccountforfutureSprints
Afterthe Sprint Review, theTeamholds a Sprint Retrospectivemeeting, tohave a look at howthe Sprint went and findimprovementactions
Allalongtheproject, theProductOwner leads theProductBacklog «grooming», wherechanges and reprioritizations are madeaccordingtobusinessneeds

Common misconceptions about Scrum and Agile
Sometimes, Agile and Scrum are misunderstood
Itisbelievedthattheypromoteanundisciplinatedorlooselydefinedprocess
Onthecontrary, whenproperlyused, Scrum:
Is precise and disciplined
Has clear and concrete rules
Promotestransparency and responsibility
Focusesonquality and continuousimprovement

CMMI in a nutshell

15
CMMI in a nutshell (I)
CMMI is a processimprovementapproachfororganizationsdoing software development (CMMI-DEV model)
Itprovides a set of recommendationstargetedtomanage software developmentprojects and toachieveimprovements
Itsgoalistogrowmaturityintotheorganization, in ordertobetterfacetheseprojects
As a result, theorganizationobtains a higherqualityfordeliverables, and improvedefficiencyforwork

16
CMMI in a nutshell (II)
CMMI isorganizedintoprocessareas, groupedbycapacitylevels (continuousrepresentation) orbymaturity (stagedrepresentation)

17
CMMI in a nutshell (III)
Theprocessareas are thedifferentareasto be coveredbytheorganization’sprocesses, dependingonthematuritylevels

18
CMMI in a nutshell (IV)
Anyorganizationwillingtomeasureitsprogress, can conductanappraisal
Anappraisaltypicallyisconducted in ordertoidentifyimprovementareas, toinformthirdparties (customers, suppliers) aboutlevel of fulfillment, ortomeet contractual requirements
ThestandardappraisalmethodwhichcoversalltherequirementsisSCAMPI

19
Common misconceptions about CMMI
Thegoal of CMMI isnottocovereveryaspectrelatedto software development
CMMI ismostly at managementlevel. Itdoesn’tget in depthabouttechnicalsubjects
CMMI practicesshould be customizedforeachorganization, dependingonbusinessgoals
Organizationsdon’tget a CMMI certification. They are appraised in orderto determine theirmaturitylevel
Itis up totheorganizationto decide whichprocessareas are to be improved

EmbracingScrum and CMMI
CMMI defines a set of processareaswhosegoalshaveto be fulfilled in ordertoadvancethroughthematuritylevels. Itisaboutthe «what» to do
Nevertheless, itdoesn’tspecify «how» thegoalsfortheprocessareasshould be fulfilled, whichisleft up totheorganization
Scrumpracticescover a broad set of CMMI processareas
Thus, it’spossibleto use Scrum as the mean toimplement CMMI and covermany of theprocessareas
CMMI specifiesthe «what», whileScrum can supportthe «how»

Filling the gaps using Visual Studio and TFS
Visual Studio + TFS supportScrum, providingprocesstemplates and a set of toolsthathelptocarryoutScrumpractices
Regarding CMMI processareas, complementingScrumwith Visual Studio + TFS, allowsustoimprovecomplianceforsome of theseareas, and tocoversomeotherareasnotaddressedbyScrumitself
