Page | 5 The Scrum Team The Scrum Team consistsof a ProductOwner,the DevelopmentTeam,andaScrum Master. Scrum Teams are self-organizingand cross-functional.Self-organizingteamschoose how bestto accomplishtheirwork,ratherthan beingdirectedby others outside the team.Cross-functional teamshave all competenciesneeded toaccomplishthe workwithoutdependingonothersnot part of the team.The team model inScrumisdesignedtooptimize flexibility,creativity,and productivity. Scrum Teams deliverproducts iterativelyandincrementally,maximizingopportunitiesfor feedback.Incremental deliveries of “Done”productensure apotentially usefulversionof workingproductisalwaysavailable. The Product Owner The Product Owneris responsible formaximizingthe value of the productandthe workof the DevelopmentTeam.How thisisdone mayvary widelyacrossorganizations,ScrumTeams,and individuals. The Product Owneristhe sole personresponsibleformanagingthe ProductBacklog.Product Backlogmanagementincludes: ClearlyexpressingProductBacklogitems; Orderingthe itemsinthe ProductBacklog to bestachieve goalsandmissions; Optimizingthe valueof the workthe DevelopmentTeam performs; Ensuringthat the ProductBacklogis visible,transparent, andcleartoall,andshowswhat the Scrum Team will workonnext;and, Ensuringthe DevelopmentTeamunderstandsitemsinthe ProductBacklogtothe level needed. The Product Ownermaydo the above work,or have the DevelopmentTeamdoit.However,the ProductOwnerremainsaccountable. The Product Ownerisone person,nota committee. The ProductOwnermayrepresentthe desiresof acommittee inthe ProductBacklog, butthose wantingto change a ProductBacklog item’spriority mustaddress the ProductOwner. For the ProductOwnerto succeed,the entire organization mustrespecthisorherdecisions. The ProductOwner’sdecisionsare visible inthe contentand orderingof the ProductBacklog.No one isallowedtotell the DevelopmentTeamtoworkfrom a differentsetof requirements,and the DevelopmentTeamisn’tallowedtoacton whatanyone else says.

Page | 8 The Sprint The heart of Scrum is a Sprint,a time-box of one monthorlessduringwhicha“Done”,useable, and potentiallyreleasable productIncrementiscreated.Sprints besthave consistentdurations throughouta developmenteffort.A new Sprintstartsimmediatelyafterthe conclusionof the previousSprint. Sprintscontainandconsistof the SprintPlanning,DailyScrums, the developmentwork,the SprintReview,andthe SprintRetrospective. Duringthe Sprint: No changesare made that would endangerthe SprintGoal; Qualitygoalsdonot decrease;and, Scope may be clarifiedandre-negotiatedbetweenthe ProductOwnerandDevelopment Team as more islearned. Each Sprintmay be consideredaproject withnomore than a one-monthhorizon.Like projects, Sprintsare usedto accomplishsomething.EachSprinthasa definitionof whatistobe built,a designand flexibleplanthatwill guide buildingit,the work, andthe resultantproduct. Sprintsare limitedto one calendarmonth.Whena Sprint’shorizonistoolongthe definition of whatis beingbuilt maychange, complexitymayrise,andriskmay increase.Sprintsenable predictabilitybyensuringinspectionandadaptationof progresstowardaSprintGoal at least everycalendarmonth. Sprintsalso limitrisktoone calendarmonth of cost. Cancelling a Sprint A Sprintcan be cancelledbefore the Sprinttime-box isover.Onlythe ProductOwnerhasthe authoritytocancel the Sprint,althoughhe orshe may do so underinfluence fromthe stakeholders,the DevelopmentTeam, orthe Scrum Master. A Sprintwouldbe cancelledif the SprintGoal becomesobsolete.Thismightoccurif the companychangesdirectionorif marketor technologyconditionschange.Ingeneral,aSprint shouldbe cancelledif itnolongermakessense giventhe circumstances.But,due tothe short durationof Sprints, cancellationrarelymakessense. Whena Sprintis cancelled,anycompletedand“Done”ProductBacklogitemsare reviewed.If part of the workis potentially releasable, the ProductOwnertypicallyacceptsit.All incomplete ProductBacklog Itemsare re-estimatedandputback onthe ProductBacklog.The work done on themdepreciatesquicklyandmustbe frequentlyre-estimated.

Page | 11 Daily Scrum The DailyScrum isa 15-minute time-boxedeventforthe DevelopmentTeam tosynchronize activitiesand create aplan forthe next24 hours. This is done byinspectingthe worksince the lastDailyScrum and forecastingthe workthatcouldbe done before the nextone. The DailyScrum is heldat the same time and place eachday to reduce complexity. Duringthe meeting, the DevelopmentTeammembersexplain: What didI do yesterdaythathelpedthe DevelopmentTeam meetthe SprintGoal? What will Ido todayto helpthe DevelopmentTeammeetthe Sprint Goal? Do I see anyimpedimentthatpreventsme orthe DevelopmentTeamfrommeetingthe SprintGoal? The DevelopmentTeam usesthe DailyScrumto inspectprogress towardthe SprintGoal andto inspecthowprogressistrendingtowardcompletingthe workinthe SprintBacklog. The Daily Scrum optimizesthe probabilitythatthe DevelopmentTeam will meetthe SprintGoal. Every day,the DevelopmentTeamshould understandhow itintendstoworktogetherasa self- organizingteamtoaccomplishthe SprintGoal and create the anticipated Incrementbythe end of the Sprint. The DevelopmentTeamorteammembersoftenmeetimmediatelyafterthe Daily Scrum fordetaileddiscussions,ortoadapt, or replan,the restof the Sprint’swork. The Scrum Master ensuresthatthe DevelopmentTeam hasthe meeting,butthe Development Team isresponsible forconductingthe DailyScrum.The ScrumMaster teachesthe DevelopmentTeam tokeepthe DailyScrumwithinthe 15-minute time-box. The Scrum Master enforcesthe rule that only DevelopmentTeam members participatein the DailyScrum.

Thisisakeyinspectandadapt meeting. Sprint Review A SprintReview isheld atthe endof the Sprint to inspectthe Incrementandadaptthe Product Backlogif needed.Duringthe SprintReview,the ScrumTeamandstakeholderscollaborate aboutwhat was done in the Sprint.Basedonthat and any changesto the ProductBacklog duringthe Sprint,attendeescollaborate onthe nextthingsthatcouldbe done tooptimize value. Thisis an informal meeting, notastatusmeeting, andthe presentationof the Incrementis intendedto elicitfeedbackandfostercollaboration. Thisis a four-hourtime-boxedmeetingforone-monthSprints. ForshorterSprints,the eventis usuallyshorter.The ScrumMaster ensuresthatthe eventtakesplace andthat attendants understanditspurpose.The ScrumMaster teachesall tokeepitwithinthe time-box.

DuringeachSprintRetrospective,the ScrumTeamplansways to increase productqualityby adaptingthe definitionof “Done”asappropriate. By the endof the SprintRetrospective,the ScrumTeamshouldhave identifiedimprovements that itwill implementinthe nextSprint. Implementingthese improvements inthe nextSprint is the adaptationto the inspection of the ScrumTeamitself.Althoughimprovementsmaybe implementedatanytime,the Sprint Retrospectiveprovidesaformal opportunityto focuson inspectionandadaptation.

Product Backlog The Product Backlogisan ordered listof everythingthatmightbe neededinthe product andis the single source of requirementsfor anychangestobe made to the product.The Product Ownerisresponsibleforthe ProductBacklog, includingitscontent,availability,andordering. A ProductBacklogis nevercomplete.The earliestdevelopmentof itonlylaysoutthe initially knownandbest-understoodrequirements.The ProductBacklogevolvesasthe productand the environmentinwhichitwill be usedevolves.The ProductBacklogisdynamic;itconstantly changesto identifywhatthe productneedstobe appropriate,competitive,anduseful.Aslong as a product exists, itsProductBacklogalsoexists.

However, ProductBacklogitems canbe updatedat any time bythe ProductOwneror at the ProductOwner’sdiscretion.

Page | 15 The SprintBacklog isa planwith enoughdetail thatchangesinprogresscan be understoodin the DailyScrum. The DevelopmentTeam modifies the SprintBacklogthroughoutthe Sprint, and the SprintBacklogemergesduringthe Sprint. Thisemergence occursas the DevelopmentTeam works throughthe plan andlearns more about the work needed toachieve the SprintGoal. As newworkisrequired,the DevelopmentTeam addsitto the SprintBacklog. Asworkis performedorcompleted,the estimatedremainingworkisupdated. Whenelementsof the plan are deemedunnecessary,theyare removed.Onlythe DevelopmentTeam canchange its Sprint Backlogduringa Sprint.The SprintBacklog isa highlyvisible,real-time pictureof the workthat the DevelopmentTeam planstoaccomplishduringthe Sprint,anditbelongssolelytothe DevelopmentTeam. Monitoring Sprint Progress At anypointin time ina Sprint,the total workremaininginthe SprintBacklogcan be summed. The DevelopmentTeamtracksthistotal work remainingatleastforeveryDailyScrum to project the likelihoodof achievingthe SprintGoal.Bytrackingthe remainingworkthroughoutthe Sprint,the DevelopmentTeamcanmanage itsprogress. Increment The Incrementisthe sum of all the Product BacklogitemscompletedduringaSprintand the value of the incrementsof all previous Sprints. Atthe endof a Sprint,the new Incrementmust be “Done,”whichmeansit mustbe in useable condition andmeetthe ScrumTeam’s definition of “Done.”It mustbe in useable conditionregardlessof whether the ProductOwnerdecidesto actuallyrelease it. Artifact Transparency Scrum reliesontransparency.Decisionstooptimize valueandcontrol riskare made basedon the perceivedstate of the artifacts. Tothe extentthattransparencyiscomplete,these decisions have a soundbasis. To the extentthatthe artifactsare incompletelytransparent,these decisionscanbe flawed,valuemaydiminish andrisk mayincrease. The Scrum Master must workwiththe ProductOwner,DevelopmentTeam, andotherinvolved partiestounderstand if the artifactsare completelytransparent.There are practicesforcoping withincompletetransparency;the ScrumMastermusthelpeveryone applythe most appropriate practices inthe absence of complete transparency.A ScrumMaster can detect incomplete transparencyby inspectingthe artifacts, sensingpatterns,listeningcloselytowhatis beingsaid,anddetectingdifferencesbetweenexpectedandreal results. The Scrum Master’s jobisto work withthe Scrum Teamand the organizationtoincrease the transparencyof the artifacts.Thiswork usuallyinvolves learning,convincing,andchange. Transparencydoesn’toccurovernight,butisa path.
