Scrum redux

Posted on December 7, 2018 By admin

Scrum: way of working to maximize value

Scrum Master: maximize efficiency – remove impediments (manage & delegate)
Product Owner: maximize effectiveness – customer value (stakeholder relations)

Story points: time estimate x impediments –> these don’t show up if only measuring time

Vertical slice: always define the stories with the user in mind. Will the PBI be demoable?

Always work according to priority –> not, “does everyone have something do to?”

You can have it good, fast & cheap if you change what IT is. There are 4 variables in that sentence, not 3.

Project brief: identify value, don’t define “it”. Describe scope in terms of how to give value, but not exactly on how you plan to do it.

Quote of the day

Sham Harga had run a succesful eatery for many years by always smiling, never extending credit, and realizing that most of his customers wanted meals properly balanced between the four food groups: sugar, starch, grease and burnt crunchy bits.
--(Terry Pratchett, Men at Arms)
