Daily Scrum

Daily 15 minute status meeting Team stands in a circle facing each other Each team member answers 3 questions: What have you done since the last Scrum? What will you do between now and the next Scrum? What got in your way of doing work?
For synchronization not problem solving!

Sprint Review

During this meeting the team presents to management, customers, users and the Product Owner the product increment that has been built during the Sprint The team tells the story of its journey during the Sprint. Powerpoint presentations are forbidden!

Scrum Team Self-organizing Cross-functional with no roles Seven plus or minus two Responsible for committing to work Authority to do whatever is needed to meet commitment

Chickens & Pigs Members of Scrum Team are known as Pigs because they are committed to delivering Sprint Goal People who are involved but not dedicated to the project are known as Chickens - they attend Scrum meetings as observers

Product Owner

Sets development schedule by prioritizing backlog One person in this role ensures that only one set of requirements drives development Can be influenced by committees, management, customers, sales people, but is the only person that prioritizes Works with others to estimate items on Product Backlog Eliminates confusion of multiple bosses, different opinions, and interference

Scrum Master

The Scrum Master is responsible for the success of SCRUM establishing SCRUM practices and rules, shielding the team and removing obstacles representing management to the project

Exercise - Sprint Review Sprint Review 6 mins Elect a spokesperson to facilitate the Sprint Review and Demo Meeting Conduct a Sprint Review and Demo of your brochure at the end of the sprint: What is the potentially shippable increment (Demo)? What did we complete of our Sprint Backlog? What is the feedback from our Product Owner?

A Few Rules Each team MUST work together Everyone MUST have work in the Sprint Each team MUST demo something at the end of the Sprint (free of choice about how) Each team MUST complete their Sprint Planning with a Sprint Backlog on the worksheet Each team MUST conduct their Daily Scrum meeting No Scrum Master is used in this exercise No predefined roles on Team; self-organization rules!
