WHAT THE HELL IS SCRUM ?


SCRUM Process


Ball Point Game

You are one big team Ball must have air-time No ball to your direct neighbors Start Point = End Point Iteration = 2 min We will play 3-4 iterations


Very long release times Difficulties to react to changed requirements Not enough time for quality management Problems in requirement engineering

Problems before SCRUM


Short release times Clear responsibilities Clear requirements Flexible dealing with changed requirements

Improvements we made with SCRUM


No SCRUM Master Code Quality Issues Estimation without Story points

Problems implementing SCRUM


Keep it simple Implement a base version Define a target for every sprint The devil is in the implicit

Key Learnings


Sprint Planning I Ask for requirements / specific information Discover User Acceptance Tests Talk about constraints Discuss Acceptance criteria

What you‘ll not learn from books…


Sprint Planning II Create architecture diagrams Dive into the code base Get an idea about the technical solution Tasks will come up as a side product



Estimation Once a sprint / week Do not use times for estimation, better use Story points (1,

3, 5, 8, 13) Play „Magic Estimation“
