collaborations

Customer collaboration

Responding to change
over following a plan

4. Smaller Distributed Risk
“In waterfall we don’t get that
choice. We either have to
decide to stop and get a “half-
built bridge” that is of little
value, or we have to bite the
bullet and spend more in the
hope that eventually we’ll get
the finished product.”

5. Hey Buddy!!
Sorry to be an unplanned interruption – but
can you please first explain me “Why are we
talking about agile in first place?” Seriously if
this is not that important then I can go back to
my work.

6. World is Changing Faster…
This took millions of years But this will not!!

7. “We live in a world that
keeps changing faster all
the time. What worked
only yesterday may not
work today or
tomorrow.
Organizations that
routinely practice
business process
improvement, are able
to consistently improve
the results obtained
from existing process.”

9. Inside Scrum

10. Product BacklogProduct backlog items initially are
features required to meet the product
owner’s vision and are prioritized
according to business value.
For ongoing product development,
the backlog might also contain new
features, changes to existing features,
defects, technical improvements, and
so on.
Constantly evolving artifact where
items can be added, deleted, and
revised by the product owner as
business conditions change, or as the
Scrum team’s understanding of the
product grows.

11. Sprint Work is performed in iterations or
cycles of up to a calendar
month called sprints.
Timeboxed so they always have
a fixed start and end date, and
generally they should all be of
the same duration.
A new sprint immediately follows
the completion of the previous
sprint.

12. Sprint PlanningDevelopment team reviews the
product backlog and determines
the highest priority items that the
team can realistically
accomplish in the upcoming
sprint while working at a
sustainable pace.
Many teams break down each
targeted feature into a set of
tasks to form a second backlog
known as the sprint backlog.
Development team then
provides an estimate (typically in
hours) of the effort required to
complete each task.

convert PBI into
Reality

13. To-Do Work-In-Progress Done
Sprint Execution
Once sprint planning is complete,
the development team performs all
the task-level work necessary to get
the features “done”.
Nobody tells the development team
in what order or how to do the task-
level work in the sprint backlog.
Team members define their own
task-level work and then self-
organize in any manner they feel is
best for achieving the sprint goal.

14. Scrum Roles

15. Product Owner
The single authority on product and is the one
person responsible for a project's success. The
Product Owner leads the development effort by
conveying his or her vision to the team, outlining
work in the Product Backlog, and prioritizing it
based on business value.

16. Development TeamA diverse, cross-functional
collection of people who are
responsible for designing,
building, and testing the desired
product.
Self-organizes to determine the
best way to accomplish the goal
set out by the product owner.
Typically five to nine people in
size and its members must
collectively have all the skills
needed to produce good
quality, working software.
They make things happen!!

17. Scrum Master
The Servant Leader.
Helps everyone involved understand and
embrace the Scrum values, principles, and
practices.
The Scrum Master does anything possible to
help the team perform at their highest level. This
involves removing any impediments to
progress.
The Scrum Master is also often viewed as a
protector of the team.
