What is SCRUM ? Scrum is an agile, lightweight process to manage and control development/ maintenance work. Scrum is a wrapper for existing engineering practices. Scrum is a team-based approach to iteratively, incrementally develop systems and products when requirements are rapidly changing Scrum is a process that controls the chaos of conflicting interests and needs. © Satyam 2009 4

Ro le s In S c ru m 3 roles in Scrum The Product Owner The Scrum Team The Scrum Master © Satyam 2009 5

Product owner The Product Owner is responsible for achieving maximum business value, by taking all the inputs into what should be produced, from the customer or end-user of the product, as well as from Team Members and stakeholders and translating this into a prioritized list called Product Backlog . < customer representative, who knows what product features need to be build> © Satyam 2009 6

Scrum Team The team in Scrum is cross-functional it includes all the expertise necessary to deliver the potentially shippable product each Sprint and it is self-managing , with a very high degree of autonomy and accountability. Typically 5-10 people Cross-functional QA, Programmers, UI Designers, etc. Members should be full-time (May be exceptions (e.g., System Admin, architect etc.) Teams are self-organizing Ideally, no titles but rarely a possibility Membership can change only between sprints © Satyam 2009 7

The Scrum Master The Scrum Master is one of the most important elements of Scrum success, he / she is responsible for making sure a Scrum team lives by the values and practices of Scrum, protects the team by making sure they do not over commit themselves to what they can achieve during a sprint. The Scrum Master facilitates the Daily Scrum Meeting and becomes responsible for removing any obstacles that are brought up by the team during those meetings. © Satyam 2009 8

Key artifacts of Scrum Product Back log Sprint Back log Burn out chart © Satyam 2009 9

Product Back log The Product Backlog is a master list of all functionality desired in the product; every team member will have access to this list and be aware of the product backlog. It is managed & prioritized and owned by the Product Owner, this backlog exists (and evolves) over the lifetime of the product; it is the product road map. It includes a variety of items, primarily new customer features, but also engineering improvement goals, exploratory or research work and, possibly known defects. © Satyam 2009 10

Sprint Back log The Sprint Backlog is the list of tasks that the Scrum Team is committed to complete in the current Sprint. Each item has it s own status and should be updated every day Items on the Sprint Backlog are drawn from the Product Backlog by the team based on the priorities set by the Product Owner and the team's perception of the time it will take to complete the various features. © Satyam 2009 11

Burn down chart This graph shows, each day, a new estimate of how much work (measured in person hours) remains until the team s tasks are finished. Ideally, this is a downward sloping graph that is on a trajectory to reach zero effort remaining by the last day of the Sprint. © Satyam 2009 12

How do we do scrum? © Satyam 2009 13

Scrum Rituals / ceremonies The Sprint Planning Meeting The Sprint Planning Meeting is a collaborative meeting which takes place at the beginning of each Sprint, The Sprint Planning Meeting is attended by the Product Owner, Scrum Master and the entire Scrum Team. The Product Owner describes the highest priority features to the team, Team selects backlog highest priority features to the team, Team selects backlog items as per priority, Team estimates the efforts for the selected items, and makes a commitment to complete the work The Daily Scrum Meeting This is a short (15 minutes or less) meeting that happens every workday at an appointed time. Everyone on the Team attends. To keep it brief, it is recommended that everyone remain standing. It is the team s opportunity to report to each other on progress and obstacles. In the Daily Scrum, one by one, each member of the team reports three (and only three) things to the other members of the team: What they were able to get done since the last meeting; What they are planning to finish by the next meeting Any blocks or impediments that are in their way Sprint Review Meeting After the Sprint ends, there is the Sprint Review, where the team reviews the Sprint with the Product Owner. The Sprint Review is an inspect and adapt activity for the product. It is a time for the Product Owner to learn what is going on with the product and with the team; and for the team to learn what is going on with the Product Owner and the market. The review includes a demo of what the team built during the Sprint. © Satyam 2009 14

FAQ s Scrum is an agile process for developing software. Scrum is an iterative, incremental framework. With Scrum, projects progress via a series of iterations called sprints. Sprints or Iterations are typically 1-4 weeks in length. The Sprints are of fixed duration they end on a specific date whether the work has been completed or not, and are never extended. At the end of the Sprint, the team demonstrates what they have accomplished. Scrum Master abbreviated here as SM. The list of requirements to be implemented is called a product backlog. One cycle in the project life cycle is a sprint. Sprints last for 30 days. The list of requirements to be worked in a particular sprint is a sprint backlog. A daily status meeting is a daily scrum. That accomplishments of the sprint are reviewed and demonstrated to the customer at the end of each sprint. Sprints are fixed duration work cycles. © Satyam 2009 15 *

S cr u m Ba s ics Key take away Scrum is made up of three roles, three ceremonies and three artifacts Roles: The Product Owner, who is responsible for the business value of the project; the Scrum Master, who ensures that the Scrum team is functional and productive; and the self-organized team Ceremonies: the sprint planning meeting, daily scrum meeting, and sprint review meeting Artifacts: the product backlog, the sprint backlog, and a burndown chart © Satyam 2009 16

Are you doing Scrum? Do Nokia test LEVEL 1 Iterations must be time-boxed to less than six weeks / Do your sprints start and end on planned dates Is the software completely tested and working at the end of an iteration Can the iteration start before specification is complete LEVEL 2 Does the team know who the product owner is Is there a product backlog prioritized by business value Does the product backlog have estimates created by the team Does the team generate its burndown charts and knows its velocity Does the team have outside people disrupting the work of the team during the sprint © Satyam 2009 18
