Software Development Philosophies Part 3 – 18:33

• Scrum
  • Scrum is a word from rugby (get video)
  • Daily standup meeting (timeboxed to 15min)
    • Each member:
    • What have you done since yesterday?
    • What are you planning to do today?
    • Do you have any problems preventing you from accomplishing your goal?
  • Sprint Planning meeting
    • Held every 7-30 days
    • Select what work is to be done
  • Sprint Review meeting
    • Review the work that was completed and not completed
    • Present the completed work to the stakeholders (a.k.a. “the demo”)
    • Incomplete work cannot be demonstrated
    • Four hour time limit
  • Sprint Retrospective
    • All team members reflect on the past sprint
    • Make continuous process improvements
    • Two main questions are asked in the sprint retrospective: What went well during the sprint? What could
    • be improved in the next sprint?
    • Three hour time limit
  • Basic Flow
    • Backlog -> Sprint Backlog -> Sprint (4weeks, 30days, 24hrs) -> Working Increment
  • Different from Kanban
• Code Cowboy (yeehaw)
