Sumedha Ganjoo presented on common mistakes made when adopting Scrum. She discussed how having one person act as both the product owner and Scrum master leads to conflicts of interest and less accountability. Other mistakes include not properly estimating work, allowing technical debt to accumulate, focusing on documentation over working software, and customizing Scrum practices without understanding the reasons behind them. The presentation emphasized separating roles, setting clear expectations, prioritizing working software over documentation, and making incremental improvements based on team feedback and retrospectives.

Scrum is certainly not a foolproof framework as it does have its own set
of limitations; which is the reason why it may not be the best fit for
every team or product. There are other Agile and Lean approaches too,
like Kanban or XP.
Therefore, what is crucial is for us to comprehend that these current
shifts call for a dynamic and progressive outlook from developers and managers. The need of the hour is to utilize the benefits that a Scrum Master brings to the table, in terms of opening up team communication and problem solving techniques.
This document discusses the Scrum framework. Scrum is an agile process for managing complex product development. It uses self-organizing cross-functional teams, sprints, daily stand-ups, and artifacts like a product backlog and sprint backlog. The key components of Scrum include roles like the Scrum Master, Product Owner, and Scrum Team. The Scrum process involves sprint planning, daily stand-ups, and producing an increment of work each sprint.
Scrum is a simple framework for iterative software development that can be implemented quickly. It focuses on self-organizing teams, short development cycles called sprints, regular inspection and adaptation, and transparency. Key roles include the product owner, scrum master, and development team. The team works through a backlog of tasks prioritized by the product owner and tracks progress through meetings and artifacts like burn-down charts. While good for focusing a co-located team, scrum may need tailoring for larger or distributed teams.

The document describes the role and responsibilities of a Scrum Master. It states that a Scrum Master facilitates the team, ensures Scrum is used correctly, resolves impediments, protects the team, and coaches them. Key responsibilities include planning meetings, enforcing Scrum practices, removing blockers to progress, and helping the team and product owner improve. A Scrum Master has authority over processes but not individuals. Personal characteristics like being a servant leader and having an open, enthusiastic mindset are important for the role.
T3CON 19 Scrum for web agencies, does it really work?David Denicolò
Scrum frameworks can work for web agencies but may need adaptation. Typical challenges for web agencies include small projects, budgets, teams, and stakeholders not being fully involved in Scrum. Scrum works best for long-term, complex products with dedicated teams and POs. Some adaptations include using smaller Scrum teams, hybrid Scrumban approaches, no estimates, integrating designers into teams, and focusing on deploying MVPS and learning from feedback. Open discussion of how others have implemented Scrum in web agencies is encouraged.
It is the team who does all the work. Team is self-organising. Team decides and plans. So what is the role of scrum master? Is it a full time role? How is it different from a project manager? Can a project lead or manager be a scrum master? It is probably the least understood and the most abused role in scrum. Let's explore these points in details further on April 10, 3:00 PM.

Scrum role introduction – the scrum masterLê Trọng-Hiệp
This document discusses the role of the Scrum Master. It provides an overview of the Scrum Master's responsibilities which include removing impediments, facilitating meetings like the daily scrum, and ensuring the team follows the Scrum process. It also gives examples of scenarios a Scrum Master may face and how they could address them, such as a team member being late or a team not being on track to finish a sprint. The document recommends tools a Scrum Master can use to help guide their work, like a checklist to review how the team and product owner are adhering to Scrum practices.
The document discusses how Scrum is commonly misunderstood and misapplied. It is not simply about daily standups and retrospectives, but is a framework that prescribes specific events and roles. Scrum requires cross-functional self-organizing teams, iterations with working increments, and values of commitment, courage and respect. For a project to truly use Scrum, it must have autonomy for development teams and continuously inspect and adapt the product backlog and sprint goals.

Have you successfully implemented Scrum on your team, but are finding the pain of scaling your Scrum deployment to the larger organization too much to handle? Is the Scrum of Scrums concept not working out the way you thought it would? Have you had success with scaling Scrum, and want to share what you’ve learned with others? If you answered yes to any of these questions, join us for this interactive session where Melanie Paquette shares the experiences of different of different types of organizations that have had success in scaling Scrum. The organizations profiled include a large, geographically dispersed team of over 300 embedded software developers as well as a smaller, mostly co-located team of 50 mobile application developers. Learn what these organizations have in common, and take back practical techniques you can use to scale Scrum, including how to leverage a traditional project management organization to help your scaling efforts, how to structure large teams to involve the right people, and how to work with geographical distribution.
Agile development is both a philosophy and methodology for building products in an iterative and incremental way. It involves short development cycles called sprints where self-organizing cross-functional teams focus on continuously delivering working software. Daily stand-up meetings help ensure transparency and coordination across the team. While agile aims to be flexible and lightweight, some key practices like planning, pair programming, and tracking progress help teams stay aligned and deliver value continuously.
The document provides an overview of Agile principles and the Scrum framework. It describes key Scrum roles like the Product Owner and Scrum Master. It also summarizes Scrum ceremonies such as Sprint Planning, Daily Standup, Sprint Review, and Retrospective. User stories and tracking work using a Kanban or Scrum board in TFS are also covered at a high level.
This document describes several patterns for managing dependencies, planning for new and existing products, dealing with dispersed teams, and the challenges of remote product owners. It provides examples of solutions such as involving dependent teams in planning, dedicating teams to new vs existing products, maximizing co-location of teams, and using proxy product owners to help manage the product backlog for remote product owners. Real world examples of where these patterns have been used are also provided.
Waterfall vs agile approach scrum framework and best practices in software d...Tayfun Bilsel
The document discusses various topics related to software development approaches, including:
1. The differences between waterfall and agile approaches. Agile focuses on iterative development and responding to change over extensive planning.
2. Common problems with traditional project management like late delivery and budget overruns.
3. An overview of the Scrum framework, including roles, artifacts, ceremonies, and best practices. Scrum uses short iterations called sprints to iteratively deliver working software.
4. Recommendations to customize Scrum by incorporating elements of eXtreme Programming (XP) and lean principles to eliminate waste and continually improve processes.
Based on our experience in introducing Scrum in large organizations we developed Scrum Readiness Checklist combining most important success factors, as well as troubleshooting guide for common problems.

This presentation gives an overview of the 4 approaches to Scaling Agile - Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe), Disciplined Agile Delivery (DAD), Large Scale Scrum (LeSS) and Scaling Agile at Spotify (SA@S).
This document provides a summary of key Scrum concepts and roles. It explains that Scrum is a framework, not a methodology, and emphasizes empirical process control and self-organization. The three Scrum roles - Product Owner, Scrum Master, and Development Team - and their responsibilities are defined. Key Scrum events like the Sprint, Sprint Planning, Daily Scrum, Sprint Review, and Retrospective are also summarized in terms of their purpose and timebox guidelines.
This document discusses strategies for scaling Scrum practices within large organizations. It addresses organizing teams, integrating work across teams, managing people and skills, prioritizing work in an enterprise backlog, and delivering value through iterative development focused on the highest priority items. Key challenges include integrating work across multiple teams and layers, managing specialized skills, and ensuring continuous delivery of value at the enterprise level.
The document provides an overview of Agile software development using Scrum. It describes Scrum as an Agile framework that focuses on delivering business value through short iterative development cycles called sprints. Key aspects of Scrum include self-organizing cross-functional teams, prioritized product backlogs maintained by a Product Owner, and regular sprint planning, daily standup, review and retrospective meetings facilitated by a Scrum Master.
The document discusses key concepts in Agile development including Scrum framework. It compares traditional waterfall model with Agile approach. Some key Scrum concepts covered are roles, events, artifacts, empirical process control, transparency, self-organizing teams. It provides details on events like daily scrum, sprint planning and retrospective. Artifacts discussed are product backlog, sprint backlog and definition of done. Traditional vs Agile success rates are also shared.
This document discusses Scrum, an agile framework for managing product development. It begins by providing a brief history of Scrum, noting that it originated from rugby terminology and emphasizes self-organizing teams. The document then outlines key Scrum concepts like the product backlog, sprints, increments, and the roles of the product owner and development team. It discusses when Scrum is and isn't applicable, such as for interrupt-driven work where Kanban may be better. The document also introduces the Cynefin framework for determining what approach fits different domains like simple, complicated, complex, chaotic, and disorder. It concludes by noting that while Scrum empowers teams, its implementation can be difficult and make problems visible
Large organizations face challenges scaling agile scrum practices across many teams due to issues like siloed teams losing overall product focus, fixed release dates encouraging a mini-waterfall model, and treating agile adoption as a project with an end rather than continuous improvement. The Large-Scale Scrum (LeSS) framework addresses these problems by organizing teams around customer-centric requirement areas rather than functions, empowering cross-functional feature teams to be self-managed and co-located, and viewing agile adoption as a continuous journey of inspection and adaptation. LeSS scales scrum without adding layers or processes in a non-prescriptive manner focused on continuous learning.
This document provides an introduction and overview of Scrum, an agile framework for managing product development projects. It discusses the origins and principles of Scrum, key roles like the Product Owner and Scrum Master, ceremonies such as sprint planning and retrospectives, artifacts like the product and sprint backlogs, and how Scrum has been implemented successfully in organizations like Salesforce.com. The document also notes characteristics of Scrum projects and how it compares to traditional sequential development models.
In this talk, I try to provide a perspective on weather or not we have crossed the Chasm with Agile transformation. Based on a few surveys, I explore the current state of agile adoption across the industry and try to predict the kind of coaching/transformation needs that might come up in the near future.
Through this slides, I present 5 basic tools that a scrum master should follow, in order to make retrospectives really effective. These are things that I have discovered based on my experience, and would like to share with people

This document describes a Jenga game activity used to demonstrate the benefits of test-driven development. The activity involves building a 3-story Jenga tower with blocks, some of which contain defects. Participants undergo three iterations with different testing procedures: in the first, defects are found after building; in the second, defects are found every 10 blocks; in the third, defects are known for each individual block. The goal is to understand how rework effort decreases when testing occurs earlier in the development cycle rather than later.
The document discusses sprint planning in Scrum methodology. It explains that during sprint planning, the Scrum team decides what work can be completed during the sprint. They set two guideposts: the sprint backlog which is the work committed to and the sprint goal which is a short phrase stating what will be achieved. The newer approach to sprint planning involves two parts - part one where the team commits to the deliverables for the sprint and part two where the development team breaks down the work into tasks.
Scrum roles include the Product Owner, Scrum Master, and Development Team. The Product Owner is responsible for the product backlog and has a complete understanding of customer and stakeholder needs. The Scrum Master helps the team stay motivated and removes impediments so the team can perform at its peak. The cross-functional Development Team is self-managed and accountable for delivering working software each sprint.
The document discusses the importance of the retrospective meeting in Scrum. It notes that early versions of Scrum did not include retrospectives and that they are important for teams to inspect and adapt their processes. Retrospectives provide an opportunity for teams to reflect on what went well and what can be improved in the last sprint and develop an action plan to become more effective. They should be time-boxed, focus on constructive feedback rather than blame, and actively engage the whole team, Scrum Master, and Product Owner to drive process improvements.
Estimation in Agile projects can be tricky sometimes, especially for teams and organizations that are moving into Agile from non-Agile frameworks

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

3. Before we begin
What is the recommended team size in
Scrum
What if there is a need to scale to a larger
number
If it’s a single large team - administrative
issues creep up
4. Team of Teams a.k.a SOS
Scrum of Scrums
More than one team working on
delivering the same product
Each team have Scrum roles within
Each team is responsible for one unit of
the product
5. When should you use it
Typically with 2 or more Scrum teams
Teams working on the same backlog
Co-located or distributed teams
Total size typically less than 50
Fairly complex project/product
Companies that cannot afford to use the
SAFe framework
7. Sprint Fundamentals
Sprint Planning
Dependencies
Prioritization
Estimation
Plan with dependencies in sight
Standup calls
At a Team
SOS
8. Sprint Fundamentals
Reviews
Team – Do you see a value add?
For the user story/product
Retrospectives
For the team
For the product
For the release

10. Drawing the line
Horizontal slicing v/s vertical slicing
Separation at module
Separation at feature set
Separation at plugins
Who do you think are the best people to
figure out where to draw the line?
11. So, how to you collaborate
Sync up call – SOS
Gives a pulse of the product as a whole
Typically conducted once or twice a
week for a duration of 15 minutes and
treated like a standup call
If there is a need for further
elaboration/discussion, talk offline
Mandate presence from all teams
13. Ok… what do you discuss?
What did the team do between the last
meeting and now?
What will the team do between now and
the next meeting?
Is there anything that is getting in the way
of your team?
Are you going to work on anything that
will impact other teams?
14. Who should attend the SOS
Scrum Masters
Team members representing the
technical area
Product management, if the need be
Product managers
Stakeholders are not typically a part of
the SOS
