Academy Essex "Shaf Cangil came as a consultant to The Brittons
Academy from SEO Rescue when we desperately needed someone to
organise our Year 11 students to finish off their coursework for
their ICT qualification. She applied her management system [SCRUM]
to identify each students individual first class support. Her
technique enabled staff to map and monitor every student's work
against the specification and then direct them to what was needed
to complete the course. Thanks to her support, a significant number
have achieved a pass or merit on the full course." Three years
coursework sorted and completed in 15 days. www.seorescuenow.co.uk

3. Introducing Practical Scrum You should be in teams of 4 or
so. Get into a circle facing each other. One person holds a pen.
Only the pen holder can talk. Introduce yourself (name) give your
current occupation or skills. Pass the pen to someone new. That was
a scrum meeting practice! Image courtesy of Rugby Union Scrum Oval

4. Introducing Scrum You will have exposure to scrum as we go
Work flexibly Merge existing and developing skills on the fly
Produce a Minimal Viable Product of increasing complexity over time
(Through iterations)
5. In your groups take 5 minutes to discuss: What makes a
really good team? Flexibility Dedication Compromise Speed Exchange
of ideas without fear Good time keeping Self-organising Open to new
ideas/training
6. Open your pack. Take 5 minutes to look over the
contents.
7. Mnemonic: I Am Doing Dangerous Teaching Everywhere BAD:
Waterfall (Systems Life Cycle) Problem: Timeframe was over months
so original desire for product died or project overran or end
product no longer fit for purpose etc.. 1 year LONG to finished
product!
8. Solution: Reduce time of the cycle Bi Weekly (With micro
cycles within that!) Builds flexibility Still same goal in mind
Allows for adaptation and emergent benefits Take away a finished
product quicker Allows for better decisions (eg: to end the project
or drastic change after each sprint).
http://www.creative-format.com/processes Sprint Iteration
9. GOOD: SPRINTS!!! Smaller Cycles than Waterfall cycles. Break
down sprints further into iterations! Natural
SCALEABILITY/FLEXIBILITY Get a MINIMAL VIABLE PRODUCT to sell AFTER
THE FIRST SPRINT! (2 weeks). Doesnt RELY ON PROPRIETARY SOFTWARE!
TEAMS INPUT COUNT OVER PLANS! (Emergent logic). 2 weeks: finished
product 2 weeks: finished product 2 weeks: finished product 2
weeks: finished product Sprints!
10. GOOD: SPRINTS!!! RULES OF AGILE/SCRUM 1. Individuals and
interactions over processes and tools [DONT RELY ON PROPRIETARY
SOFTWARE!] 2. Working software over comprehensive documentation
[TEAMS INPUT COUNT OVER PLANS!] 3. Customer collaboration over
contract negotiation [BUILD IN SCALEABILITY/FLEXIBILITY] 4.
Responding to change over following a plan[EMERGENT BEHAVIOURS]
AGILE MANIFESTO.
11. DO NOW: The project stages: Artefact (ceremonies) Who?
What's the Big plan? Product backlog Product Owner Pull out a
portion to make in 30 minutes. Sprint backlog (Sprint planning)
Team decides (the discussion about length and complexity of tasks)
Write down your goals on post it notes. User stories and acceptance
criteria (daily scrum) Team decides (Team ticks off stuff done and
stuff to do and whats stopping them) Scrummaster sorts. When done
and validated, move it to done and tick off of burndown chart.
Burndown chart Team checks off After 3 cycles, show and tell by
team to everyone. 5 minutes team identifies best practices. Sprint
review and retrospective. Team presents to Product owner or
stakeholders and then TEAM discusses how to improve practice.
12. The Daily Universe Newspaper (No affiliation to The Daily
Planet). What's the Big plan? Take 5 minutes to pull out a portion
to make in 30 minutes. Write each single little task on a post it
note. Leave on the table ANYONE CAN DO ANY TASK- DONT DECIDE WHO
DOES WHAT YET!
13. Scrum Meeting Get into a circle facing each other. One
person holds a pen. Only the pen holder can talk. What have you
done so far? Suggest a post it note that you might complete. Take
it to the TO DO column. What might be a problem for you? Who will
help solve that? (Scrummaster) Pass the pen to someone new.
[Repeat] (all post it notes must end up on the board TO DO). NB:
ANYONE MAY TAKE ANY TASK (Flexibility) May work in twos.Image

15. Start Your Iteration. Usually 1 day 10 days = 1 Sprint
ALWAYS have daily scrum meeting (15 mins) before iteration Do not
usually add post it notes. Just at beginning. The aims to GET AS
MANY POST IT NOTES done. This time its 30 mins to Complete an
Iteration. Start now. "Image courtesy of A Male Athlete Ready To
Run The Race by stockimagesat FreeDigitalPhotos.net"
16. No specialist software.
17. No specialist software. When you have one task finished.
Hands up. I will assess (Continuous Integration Whitebox testing)
You get paid. Move task to DONE Update Burndown chart. You dont
have to finish all post it notes in one iteration. You do for one
sprint..
