First Scrum – HELP
Hey everyone, I'm attending my first morning Scrum soon and I'm a little worried. I've studied Scrum and understand basically how it works, but never actually participated in the morning scrums. Any advice? Please??? :)
- kevlanglois 11y agoThe key is to ensure every item on your board (hope you have a board) is actionable and deliverable by the end of your sprint. If a task is missing requirements or artifacts - move it back. If a task can not result it a fully tested and deployable piece of software - break it down. And lastly, human beings suck at estimating time - base your first sprint on hours or timeframes and then move to a point based system. Good luck
- dbough 11y agoI was assuming the OP was talking about the daily standup meeting?
- dbough 11y agoYou talk about what you did yesterday, and what you're going to do today. The meeting shouldn't take more than 15 minutes. Assuming you're going 'by the book'. I came from a scrum team that consistently pushed the limits of a scrum meeting by talking about way too much and taking way too long. Thats a people and process issue though.
- Simulacra 11y agoHey thanks everyone for the advice. I was indeed referring to the Daily. It went good. I spoke for about 60 seconds, although the scrum lasted almost 30. It wasn't as intimidating as I thought!
