Juni 24th, 2009 · No Comments · Scrum

In the middle of a Sprint a ScrumMaster will ask his team if they are going to meet their commitment. And I have to say, well it looks great. I will meet my Sprint Goals and I will have all 4 maior and all other important stories done.

Open Loops — Second Day

Juni 18th, 2009 · 3 Comments · Scrum

A lot of work, but no closing of loops. One I believed I could close was still open, as the person I needed was not available. The other loops made some progress, and an important one should be easy to finish, but I do not want. Something blocks me to do it!
I tried to work [...]

Juni 16th, 2009 · No Comments · English, Real Stories, Scrum, Vienna

While I was working on my backlog Yesterday, I tried to understand, what kind of project I am?
A maintenance or ongoing project? A fix price, fix date? A time and material? A project with non-defined end-date and a continuous flow of requirements? Or maybe I am a product? A product that is already released and [...]
