Scrum - A different approach to project management

SCRUM…

Not exactly the Rugby term,

but still we like it!

What is Scrum?

Scrum is an agile process most commonly used for product

development, especially software development.

Scrum is, however, a general-purpose Project Management

Framework that is applicable to any project with aggressive

deadlines with complex requirements and a degree of

uniqueness.

In Scrum, projects progress via a series of iterations called

sprints. Each sprint is typically 2-4 weeks long.

The Scrum Framework in 3 slides

A product owner creates a prioritized wish list called

a product backlog.

During sprint planning, the team pulls a small chunk

from the top of that wishlist, a sprint backlog, and

decides how to implement those pieces.

The team has a certain amount of time, a sprint, to

complete its work - usually two to four weeks - but

meets each day to assess its progress (daily scrum).

Along the way, the ScrumMaster keeps the team

focused on its goal.

At the end of the sprint, the work should be potentially

shippable, as in ready to hand to a customer, put on a

store shelf, or show to a stakeholder.

The sprint ends with a sprint review and retrospective.

As the next sprint begins, the team chooses another

chunk of the product backlog and begins working again.

The cycle repeats until enough items in the product backlog

have been completed, the budget is depleted, or a deadline

arrives. Which of these milestones marks the end of the

work is entirely specific to the project. No matter which

impetus stops work, Scrum ensures that the most valuable

work has been completed when the project ends.

8 STEPS TO SCRUM

1. The product owner explains what he

wants and the number of days needed for the

“Backlog Construction” is proposed.

2. A Backlog Construction is performed

listing the features, technologies and the

number of sprints. Together with rate, this

becomes an estimate.

3. Features are ordered by Product owner.

The Development Team estimates and

forecast which features will be delivered in the

Sprint.

4. The Development Team works on Features in

priority order, having a daily Scrum and

sending “Done” emails once the “Definition of

Done” is met. A task is often used.

5. The Development Team demos all the

features they have completed. This is the real

measure of the success of the Sprint.

6. Work accepted by the Product Owner can be

deployed to production. Each Sprint is a

potentially shippable increment of software.

7. Bugs & small changes are added the

current Script. Other requests are added to

the Product Backlog.

8. This is the best part: inspecting and

adapting. Upon finishing the Sprint. The

Scrum Team discusses what went well, what

didn’t and what to improve
