Done But Done Done Done Done Done
Manual Builds Continual Integration Automate Everything
Manual Deployment Scripted Deployment One-click Deployment
Poor Estimation Too Much Detail in Estimates Concentrate on Relative Estimates
Poor Visibility of Progress Task Boards Whiteboards for Everything
Separation Consolidated on Same floor Co-location
Problem What we did
Communication and Trust - Broke down team into 3 smaller teams- Scrum of Scrums
Quality - Definition of Done- QA Sheets- Peer Review- Pair Programming- Knowledge Sharing
Build and Deployment Effort - Continual Integration- Automated Builds- One-click Deployment
• Test Everything– Unit– Integration– Acceptance
• Test Early• QA Sheet• Peer Review• Collaboration• Sprint Review
QA Practices
Physical Space
Large to Small Teams
Further Improvements
• Commit to less but get it all done• Automated UI Tests• Managing Technical Debt• Product Backlog• Less Process overhead and paperwork
“Team pulled together”
“Can do everything in AMS”
“Fast turnaround”
Appreciated opportunity to be involved from the beginning
“…use a bit less process…”
