Iterative strategies for managing software development projects, such as Scrum, the Dynamic Systems Development Method (DSDM), Feature Driven Development (FDD ), the Agile Unified Process (AUP) and Lean Development Strategies for optimizing software development work, such as extreme Programming (XP) and the Rational Unified Process (RUP ) Strategies for managing software maintenance and support activities, such as Kanban. Cooke, 2012

Scrum is an Agile methodology for project management that involves: Delivering software in time-boxed iterations Focusing on the highest business-value software features in each iteration Interacting directly with business users to confirm ongoing software usability, quality, relevance and business value throughout the process. 25

WHAT WENT WELL WHAT WENT LESS WELL SUGGESTIONS FOR IMPROVEMENT WHAT STILL PUZZLES US

Product owner Define the features of the product Decide on release date and content Be responsible for the profitability of the product (ROI) Prioritize features according to market value Adjust features and priority every iteration, as needed Accept or reject work results 34

The Scrum Master Represents management to the project Responsible for enacting Scrum values and practices Removes impediments Ensure that the team is fully functional and productive Enable close cooperation across all roles and functions Shield the team from external interferences 35

1. Tell: make decision as the manager 2. Sell: convince people about decision 3. Consult: get input from team before decision 4. Join: make decision together with team 5. Advise: influence decision made by the team 6. Confirm: ask feedback after decision by team 7. Delegate: no influence, let team work it out

The Scrum Team Typically 5-9 people Cross-functional: Programmers, testers, user experience designers, etc. Members should be fulltime May be exceptions (e.g., database administrator) Teams are self-organizing Ideally, no titles but rarely a possibility Membership should change only between sprints 37

Sweet spot in software product development Domains where market requirements change often Initiatives where requirements are unknown or unknowable Complex knowledge work Don t use agile if

Ensure that proper change management is in place Solicit buy-in and commitment at all levels Select the right project Run an inception Involve the right people Build the team Establish a Framework What a sprint/iteration looks like What other processes are used Produce a backlog Sprint/Iteration 0 Start building

Some used between 3-4 different tools A handful said they used as many as 15.

People are more motivated when they manage themselves. Teams and individuals are more productive when they are not interrupted. Productivity is compromised when changes are made to the team composition. Face-to-face communication is the most productive way for a team to work and exchange. 45
