Project management in a research laboratory
This document discusses project management methodologies Scrum and Kanban. It describes Scrum as an agile framework that involves breaking work into tasks in a backlog, conducting sprints to complete tasks within a deadline, and daily stand-ups. Kanban involves visually tracking work on a board as tasks move from open to pending to in progress and completed. The document suggests applying these methods by having students self-organize projects by breaking work into tasks and sprints with commitments while the professor participates.

- 2. WHAT IS SCRUM? ●Is an agile way to manage a project, usually software development ● Scrum is often perceived as a methodology ● Rather than a methodology: ○ Think of it as a framework for managing a process 2
- 3. BASIC CONCEPTS: THEPROBLEM ● Define the product (target) you are trying to develop and deliver ○ Example: An Operating System for a new 96-bits RISC architecture ■ Preemptible scheduler ■ Kernel must be developed in modules ■ Support to dual-core CPUs ■ ... 3
- 4. BASIC CONCEPTS: THEDEADLINE ● Define the hard deadline even if it is not required ○ This deadline is where you deliver the product to the customer ○ At this point the work must be done! ○ Done != almost done 4
- 5. BASIC CONCEPTS: THETASKS ● Break the problem into small deliverable tasks ○ These tasks must be achievable in a deadline time manner ○ A completed task must provide value to the final problem ○ Example: Non-preemptible scheduler i. Simple Round-Robin Scheduler ii. Shortest-Job-First Scheduler iii. Preemptible Scheduler 5 Tasks are incremental

- 8. BASIC CONCEPTS: THESPRINT ● A Sprint consists of a time-window where in the end: ○ Selected tasks for this Sprint are delivered ● Sprint “size” must be defined: i.e.: 1 or 2 weeks 8
- 9. BASIC CONCEPTS: THESPRINT ● A Sprint consists of a time-window where in the end: ○ Selected tasks for this Sprint are delivered ● Sprint “size” must be defined: i.e.: 1 or 2 weeks 9 The scheduler Kernel modules Dual-core support Backlog SPRINT #1 2-weeks

- 12. BASIC CONCEPTS: THEITERATION ● After finishing a Sprint, evaluate the delivered tasks ● As the development evolves, better understanding is constructed ● Refinements can be applied: ○ Previous tasks in backlog are evaluated ○ Create or remove tasks as needed ● Think as “constructing into small steps” 12
- 13. BASIC CONCEPTS: THESTAND-UP ● Daily “report” answering three basic questions: i. What I am doing? ii. What I will do next? iii. Do I have any problem? ● Stand-up reduces the time to take actions 13 SPRINT #1 2-weeks 2-weeks delay

- 22. HOW USE SCRUMIN OUR RESEARCH? ● SCRUM relies on self-organized teams ● Sprints are organized with commitment to finish the tasks ● Each student manages its own project ○ Break it into tasks, prioritize tasks, organize sprints, commit to deadlines, … ● Professor participates following the projects 22
