2. 0:00introduction to
3. 0:02scrum a 7-minute training video with
4. 0:06details on what you need to start using
5. 0:08scrum
6. 0:13today this video is intended for people
7. 0:15who are just getting started with the
8. 0:16scrum framework and need a quick primer
9. 0:19hi my name is Steve stemman and I am the
10. 0:22founder of uzility software in this
11. 0:24video we will cover the basics behind
12. 0:26scrum and we'll take a look at how scrum
13. 0:28compares to Waterfall development and
14. 0:30we'll examine the three roles three
15. 0:31artifacts and three ceremonies that make
16. 0:33up
17. 0:36scrum first let's take a look at how
18. 0:38scrum compares to the older alternative
19. 0:40of waterfall
20. 0:41development waterfall typically goes
21. 0:44through a lengthy planning process which
22. 0:47could take several months followed by
23. 0:49building the product which again could
24. 0:51take many months and then testing the
25. 0:55product reviewing and eventually
26. 0:58deploying the product at this point you
27. 1:01may end up bringing the wrong product to
28. 1:03Market if market demand or technology
29. 1:05has changed since the original plan was
30. 1:07developed there are several problems
31. 1:10with this method first of all the
32. 1:12planning must be completed before any
33. 1:13work begins and in most cases the
34. 1:15planning is done without entirely
35. 1:18understanding the project once
36. 1:19development is being done often times
37. 1:22things get sent back to the planning
38. 1:23phase and the project either needs to
39. 1:25start over or the developers are just
40. 1:27criticized for not understanding the
41. 1:28plan this cycle can happen many times
42. 1:31when development is done building the
43. 1:32product it gets thrown over the fence to
44. 1:34test where when problems are encountered
45. 1:38it bounces back to development and
46. 1:39sometimes back to planning the same
47. 1:42issues occur in the next few steps with
48. 1:44lots of backstepping and doing over this
49. 1:46can lead to lag times and many months to
50. 1:49several years in order to get a product
51. 1:50out the
52. 1:51door with scrum and implementation of
53. 1:55agile the process is broken up into
54. 1:57smaller pieces first we do just enough
55. 2:00planning to get started with building
56. 2:02the minimal feature set we build what
57. 2:04was planned next we test and review that
58. 2:08small feature set and get it ready to
59. 2:11ship when that cycle is complete we end
60. 2:14up with a potentially shippable
61. 2:17product this process usually occurs in a
62. 2:20time period of 1 to 3 weeks this is then
63. 2:23repeated time and time again reducing
64. 2:26the time from planning to development to
65. 2:28testing each time through the planning
66. 2:30process we're doing just enough planning
67. 2:32to complete the next incremental release
68. 2:35you end up with several incremental
69. 2:36releases called Sprints a Sprint usually
70. 2:39takes from 1 to 3 weeks and you just
71. 2:42keep repeating these Sprints until your
72. 2:44product is feature
73. 2:46complete sometimes you may end up
74. 2:48shipping your product after the second
75. 2:50Sprint or the third or the fourth or
76. 2:53even further but you eventually end up
77. 2:55with a shipping
78. 2:58product
79. 3:03in scrum there are three key roles that
80. 3:05are needed for the framework to work
81. 3:07well first the product owner this is the
82. 3:10person responsible for defining the
83. 3:12features that are needed in the product
84. 3:14the product owner has the bright ideas
85. 3:16that turn into
86. 3:18products the scrum
87. 3:21Master is a servant leader to the team
88. 3:24responsible for protecting the team and
89. 3:27the process running the meetings and
90. 3:29keep keeping things going the team can
91. 3:32be made up of developers testers writers
92. 3:34and anyone else that helps in building
93. 3:36the
94. 3:37product team members often play multiple
95. 3:40roles some days developers may end up
96. 3:42doing test or testers may end up writing
97. 3:45either way the team Works to get the
98. 3:47product
99. 3:50done there are three artifacts or
100. 3:53documents that are used in scrum first
101. 3:56the product backlog this is where
102. 3:58product owners create a prioritized list
103. 4:01of features known as user stories that
104. 4:03could go into the product this list
105. 4:05evolves and changes priority with every
106. 4:07Sprint user stories are a way of
107. 4:10describing a feature set that follows
108. 4:13the as a user I need something so that
109. 4:18reason format this way of phrasing a
110. 4:21user story allows the product owner to
111. 4:24specify the right amount of detail for
112. 4:26the team to estimate the size of the
113. 4:28task the highest priority user stories
114. 4:31go into the Sprint backlog these get
115. 4:33estimated for size and are committed to
116. 4:36for the next Sprint burndown charts show
117. 4:39the progress during a Sprint on the
118. 4:40completion of tasks in the Sprint
119. 4:42backlog this chart should approach zero
120. 4:44points as the work is being
121. 4:48completed there are three ceremonies
122. 4:50that make up scrum think of these as
123. 4:52meetings or discussions Sprint planning
124. 4:55is where the product owner scrum master
125. 4:57and team meet to discuss the user
126. 4:59stories and estimate their relative
127. 5:02sizes the daily scrum is a brief standup
128. 5:05meeting where the team discusses what
129. 5:07they have completed since the previous
130. 5:09meeting what they're working on and
131. 5:11anything that might be blocked or need
132. 5:14help the Sprint review and retrospective
133. 5:17occurs at the end of the
134. 5:19Sprint this is where the team
135. 5:21demonstrates the completed work to the
136. 5:23product owner and then the team
137. 5:25discusses what they can do to improve
138. 5:26the process going
139. 5:28forward
140. 5:30let's bring it all together and take a
141. 5:32look at the scrum workflow start with
142. 5:35the product
143. 5:36backlog which is where the product owner
144. 5:38builds a list of the bright ideas and
145. 5:40features that could go into the product
146. 5:42the product owner prioritizes the list
147. 5:45and brings the top items to the
148. 5:49team Sprint planning is where the team
149. 5:52product owner and scrum Master discuss
150. 5:54the top priority user stories
151. 5:56determining what can go into the next
152. 5:58Sprint the output from the Sprint
153. 6:00planning meeting is the Sprint backlog
154. 6:03this is a list of user stories that have
155. 6:05been committed to for the next Sprint
156. 6:07the entire team and product owner have a
157. 6:09solid understanding of what each of the
158. 6:11user stories involves based on the
159. 6:13discussions from the Sprint planning
160. 6:14meetings the Sprint is a 1 to 3we time
161. 6:17box where the work committed to in the
162. 6:19Sprint backlog is worked on through to
163. 6:21completion during the Sprint the daily
164. 6:24scrum occurs as a standup meeting where
165. 6:25the team discusses what they have
166. 6:27completed and what they are working on
167. 6:29on as well as any blocked items the
168. 6:32outcome of the Sprint is a potentially
169. 6:34shippable product potentially shippable
170. 6:36means that the product owner can decide
171. 6:39if it is ready to ship or if there are
172. 6:41any additional features needed before it
173. 6:46ships at the end of the Sprint a Sprint
174. 6:49review and Sprint retrospective meeting
175. 6:51occurs the Sprint review is where the
176. 6:53team showcases their work to the product
177. 6:56owner and the retrospective is where the
178. 6:59team works on what they can do to
179. 7:00improve their
180. 7:08process repeat this workflow for each
181. 7:13Sprint now for a software solution to
182. 7:16help manage the workflow uzility has
183. 7:19been built around the scrum process to
