Agile Development MethodologyScrum Master CertificationDissemination of agile values:
Iterative Sprint Delivery Team Collaboration Customer Driven Specifications
Daily scrum, retrospective meetingsVS Team Foundation System(TFS)Daily Builds of Application

Product Development was relieved when EPCOT reaches beta
Rest of organization is unaware of reality: We still have backlog to finish Beta’s are now generating even more backlog
Suddenly we need Project plan and priorities To communicate effectively with the
organization about our status

Home-brewed bug tracking application
Accessible by everyoneScrum-like enhancements added:
Ability to categorize by sprint Task Maintenance

Required effort of 2 team members Crucial artifact for Dev Coordination
Team and others It takes a lot of time to maintain it
Call, Email, Walk Over… Do whatever it takes!
Lots of projects and ever changing priorities Vision was only at 2-3 Months We don’t have enough time to prepare
for releases
![Page 15: Resource Systems. The need for agility History of Product Development Delivery of EPCOT Future Challenges & Recommendations Reflection Questions?](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070407/56649e3b5503460f94b2d8fd/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
No! We’re beginning to revert to old ways Waterfall Method: Design, Develop, and
then Test. We are able to do the sequential steps
within 2-3 months Scrum Adoption
Was NOT embraced by Business Analysts No focus on Iterative Developmenthttp://www.positive-thinking-for-you.com/images/confidence-jump.jpg

Organized 6 Month Vision Dev coordination agrees to furnish
Product Development must commit to: Design specifications that satisfy
customer needs Realistic project timelines Effective, ongoing communication

Detail oriented Maintain project plan Showcase our critical path ALWAYS stay up-to-date
Assertive communication skills Communicate frequently with Dev Coordination
Team, Product Development, etc. Uses internal portal for external communication
▪ Delivery Dates, Project Lists, Date Changes and Why
![Page 18: Resource Systems. The need for agility History of Product Development Delivery of EPCOT Future Challenges & Recommendations Reflection Questions?](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070407/56649e3b5503460f94b2d8fd/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Commitment to iterative development Flexible project specifications
▪ Meet customer’s actual needs▪ Ability to mix and match due to time crunch
United effort across Product Development Scrum is useful for core development
processes Business Analysts should explore others
▪ Dynamic Design Systems: “Must Have”, “Should Have”, “Could Have” categorization of features
![Page 19: Resource Systems. The need for agility History of Product Development Delivery of EPCOT Future Challenges & Recommendations Reflection Questions?](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070407/56649e3b5503460f94b2d8fd/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Identify obstacles ASAP We have daily builds, so let’s use them! Commit to developer Peer-to-Peer Testing
▪ Better to find bugs early, rather than later.▪ Informal code reviews▪ Better resolution times▪ Knowledge sharing
Maximize “effective” development time Formalize engineer assignment by product
area as needed

Exponential product growth on horizon Outsourcing and need for distributed
project management capabilities May need more substantial tools Team should explore tools like
ProjExec® Online Collaboration and Planning Real-Time Presence Alerting

Things will NOT Change Overnight Dev Coordination Struggles to Define 6 Month
Vision We don’t have the right business analyst skill
sets▪ Naturally Comes from Training Team▪ Can’t be learned by entry-level position.▪ Current group excels in testing
The one(s) yelling may not be most in need! Lack of Engineers in Integration Area could rival
need for Project Coordinator

“If not now, when?” and “Never say No” mentality needs to be redefined. Can we continue to grow at the desired
pace, while still maintaining this philosophy?
