Scrum Process Explained

  1. We first need to determine a Product Backlog (a list of product requirements in order of priority), which is the Product Owner's responsibility.

  2. The Scrum Team makes estimates and arrangements for the workload based on the Product Backlog list in the Product Backlog Refinement Meeting.

  3. With the Product Backlog list, we need to hold a Sprint Planning Meeting for defining the sprint goal of this iteration (the period of a Sprint is 2 weeks), then selected a list of user stories to form the Sprint Backlog for the coming sprint which could fulfill the sprint goal.

  4. Sprint Backlog is completed by the Scrum Team, each member is refined into smaller tasks according to the Sprint Backlog (the workload of each task can be completed within a few days)

  5. Within the Sprint, a Daily Scrum Meeting is required and each of the meetings is time-boxed in about 15 minutes. what you did yesterday, and commit what you want to accomplish today, and you can ask questions related to impediments or problems that you can’t solve. Then, update your Sprint burn-down Chart.

  6. When all the user stories are completed, the Sprint Backlog is completed, which means that a Sprint is completed. At that time, we need to conduct a Sprint Review Meeting (also known as a review meeting). The product owner and the customer must participate. Every member of the Scrum Team will demonstrate to them the working software they have completed and this meeting is very important and must not be canceled.

  7. Finally, The Sprint Retrospective is held after the sprint review at the end of each sprint. During the retrospective, the team self-identifies elements of the process that did or did not work during the sprint, along with potential solutions. Retrospectives typically last 60 minutes and are there to help us incorporate continuous improvement into our team culture and our Sprint cadence.

Summary

Scrum is an iterative and incremental framework for managing product development. It defines a flexible, holistic product development strategy where a development team works closely together o reach a common goal. It enables teams to self-organize by encouraging physical co-location or close online collaboration of all team members, as well as daily face-to-face communication among all team members and disciplines involved.

Four Months Plan
(Products only) (Quarterly)

Each Product Owner/Manager must provide a High-level Plan of four months, including the following.

Strategy & Market Roadmap — deals mainly with high-level details and market state.
Visionary Roadmap — outlines the vision of a product instead.
Technology Roadmap — a complete opposite of the previous two, a low-level technical roadmap for the production team.
Technology Across Product Roadmap — the mix between actual technologies/features planned for product/products.
Platform Roadmap — aimed at multiplatform digital products.
Internal & External Product Roadmap — tied to different types of audience.

Time-boxed Meetings

  • It should not be more than 15 minutes and this should be scheduled between 10 AM to 12 PM.
    - Agenda for Daily Standup
    ~What did you do yesterday?
