Scrum

Scrum is the agile process framework. To manage product development they work in a flexible manner with methodology and QA team works as a team. It features a set of meetings, roles and tools that work coherently to help the team structure and manage the work.

The principles and lessons can apply to all kinds of teamwork so the scrum is popular among all the software development team. Scrum used to develop, deliver and sustain complex project.

Who are all present in the scrum team?

  1. Stack holder and product owner.
  2. The scrum master.
  3. The development team.

Who is scrum master?

The champion of the scrum team is scrum master. They help to practice the scrum policy with team members, stockholders and product owners. He helps the team to achieve the transparency and delivery flow by deeply understanding the work done. He schedules the process and provides all the needs of the scrum team.

Why scrum is awesome?

Scrum is all about continuously shipping values to customers. It is a framework used to deliver the work done. It used to think, practice and build agile principles. Software development team’s favorite framework is Scrum. The reasons are the software is a living thing and it needs requirements change, goal change and situations change. Here scrum encourage those changes.

“Scrum and agile are not same. Scrum is a framework on the other hand agile is a mindset.”

  • In scrum the product is build on iterations which is called sprints.
  • The sprints are represented as a breaking a big sized project into bite sized pieces (small works).
  • So it allows deliver high quality work as wee as fast delivery.
  • It is flexible to the changes at greater extent.
  • Scrum eliminates he recurring problems of the project.
  • With the help of scrum transparency and iterate framework.
  • Short iterations help in reducing risk and cost.
  • With the help of fast feedback from the users. It is a regular and tangible process.

Components of Scrum methodology:

  1. The scrum team.
  2. The scrum ceremonies.
  3. The scrum artifacts.
  4. The scrum rules.

Key ceremonies or events of scrum:

  1. Initially organize the backlog of the project.
  2. Sprint is the time period to finish the increment by the development team.
  3. Then plan your sprint by meeting the development team.
  4. Stand up is the daily meet up time to discuss about the concerns in the sprint which will discussed in a standup position.
  5. Sprint review. It is reviewing the result with the stockholders of the product.
  6. Sprint retrospective identifying the plus and minus of the previous sprint review and implementing in the following sprint to improve the result.

Benefits of Scrum methodology:

  • Employee satisfaction
  • Quality products
  • Great team dynamics
  • Increased teamholder satisfaction
  • Improved productivity
  • Market release time decreased.

Scrum artifacts

Artifacts are the tool to solve the problem. There are three artifacts associated with scrum they are.

  1. Product Backlog:

It is a main “To Do” list of the whole project and the project owner maintains the list. He marks all the work done and under process to be finished. The product backlog is constantly revisited and reprioritized by the product owner.

  1. Sprint Backlog:

Sprint backlog is a list of items selected by the development team to finish the project. The sprint backlog is flexible and modified during sprint. But the ultimate aim of the development team won’t change.

  1. Increment:

The end product of the sprint is called increment. It is the usable product of the sprint. The product owner determines the date of the project release. It is represented as Potentially Shippable Increment (PSI).

Working of scrum or the process of scrum

Read below to know about what is the process of scrum and what are the steps involved in scrum.

  1. Initiate: The first phase include identification of scrum master and stakeholders. Then planning the product backlog with release planning.
  2. Estimation: Here the tasks created with time to finish the task. Next sprint backlog created. Planning and estimation of task.
  3. Implementation: Creating various deliverables, conducting daily standup meetings and grooming the product backlog at regular time intervals.
  4. Review: This phase confirms the quality of the finish worked and checking the previous reviews on the deliverables.
  5. Delivery: This is all about releasing the product to the customer followed by documenting and internalizing the lessons learned.

What is scrum in Jira?

Jira is one of the powerful task management tools. So development team uses this product to track the project development process. Hence initially you must have Jira software to start working with scrum.
