Agile Engineering Training explained

Many Scrum teams face a great challenge even to comply with the basic premise of Scrum: They fail to deliver a potentially shippable product after every sprint. In our 3-day Agile Engineering Course we teach developers modern engineering practices which complement the Scrum Process.

Often we get the question what do we do in our trainings? Especially how we can help companies which "do" Scrum already. So we decided to create a loose series of blog posts presenting some insights from our trainings :-)

Many Scrum teams face a great challenge even to comply with the basic premise of Scrum: They fail to deliver a potentially shippable product after every sprint. Manual testing takes a long time, bugs fixed once reappear in the next version. During the demo meeting the Product Owner rejects a lot of stories because the team missed too many small issues ...

At the peak of sprint planning the team pledges "We commit to achieve these stories, no matter what it takes". It's a deal with the Product Owner (PO) and the team.

So why do teams commit?

The commitment is only valuable if the team thinks it can actually achieve it. Since the team is invited to pull the right amount of stories from the backlog, the PO trusts that the team makes reliable commitments based on their current capabilities and expected flow. This way the self-organizing team is challenged to constantly improve estimates, deliver value, as well as contribute ...

In pair programming, two developers work together in front of one screen (or two, as long as they both look at the same screen) to get a task done faster and with higher quality. Just like a driving a car, there are two roles in the pair: The driver, who has the steering wheel, aka the keyboard in her hand, and the navigator who knows where to go and which crossroads lie ahead. As you want to switch these roles every now and then, it is very helpful to have two keyboards and mice attached to the computer you are ...

This evening the Berlin Scrumtisch took place in Friedrichshain. More than thirty participants followed Marion's invitation for discussions on Scrum, wine and pizza at Vecchia Trattoria.

As there were several new participants, Felix started out with a very brief summary of the very core concepts of Scrum itself: Most important to know is the basic assumption of Scrum, that is planning ahead of time in a very detailed way is impossible. Defining goals and letting those who do the actual work take the decisions on how to reach that goal is way easier and more promising. The whole process ...
