Takeaways from the April session

Agile can be used effectively in Non-IT Development Environments

  • When engaging Vendors, communicate how you work (ie iterative approach), Vendors have been receptive and then understand the context of timeframes set. Get them in face to face to discuss work you want done.

    People / Environment

  • When Team members are first introduced to Scrum it is a big change to get used to a Team based approach, not Project manager lead and the changes of ring fenced time for the Scrum, co-location and choosing tasks to work on. As Scrum Master you need to help team members thru this period.
  • Team Norms, such as the daily stand up and using fines to foster a team culture work well.
  • Planning sessions can become loathed, especially when planning 4 weeks work in a day. The Scrum Master needs to try and keep people engaged as the session determines the direction for the sprint.

    • Reporting / Transparency

    Please note that the AUG has ceased to exist due to lack of time on my behalf (I am a Dad now). Below is left for historical reasons only...

    In early 2008 the idea formed to create an informal gathering for all those interested in Agile to get together, share experiences and help each other. The first meeting took place in April 2008 at the Pomeroys Pub with a good turnout and a general interested to keep going.
