2. 2. Testimonials: Testimonials Stuart McLaughlin The Brittons 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 @shafattack uk.linkedin.com/in/scangil
3. 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!

4. 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. 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. 6. Open your pack. Take 5 minutes to look over the contents.
7. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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 courtesy of Business People Talking by Ambro at FreeDigitalPhotos.net"
