How to implement scrum in real life?

There is a decision to be made regarding a requirement for which if not handled will hold up the sprint and the product owner is NOT present at the meeting. Should the Scrum Master make a decision on this using her best judgment or wait to discuss with the Product Owner?

Hello All,

I'm new to the domain of agile/scrum world and need some guidance on few general queries related to setting up a scrum oriented workflow to drive and deliver projects.

Scenario - Team has to work upon and deliver multiple automation related projects, covering the traditional phases like plan >> build/develop >> test/qa >> release. Based on business priority and complexity some products may get released sooner than others.

Q1 # How do I define sprints to cover different phases of product lifecycle ? Should it be separate sprints for each lifecycle stage or common sprints with standard duration of 2 or 3 weeks, but stories should be clearly flagged based on the phase it belongs. I'm more inclined to second option as having seperate sprints for each stage may not fully and optimally utilize the capacity and capability of the team.

Q2 # In continuation of above query, if stories from these different phases of development cycle are driven in common sprints, how to categorise them on Jira tool, since I will like to report on how many stories are defined for each stage of each product and how things are progressing for each product

Q3 # Can stories of multiple projects be driven is common sprint ?

Q4 # With different products having different delivery timelines, how to plan release sprints or should I use a common retro meeting to release products as and when they are ready ?

Looking for kind guidance on above queries.

Thank You,

Albert

Hi all,
I would like to ask you for your opinion… If a business-oriented person, somebody who is focused explicitly on numbers and metrics, asks you, since we’ve got you up here, show us what value you’ve brought to us over the last year, what would you show them? How would you calculate that?

Thanks for all your thoughts!

During a daily sprint standup meeting 2 team members dispute how a task is being handled (the owner of the task and another teamate). Should the owner of the task overrule the teammate or should it be discussed corporately after the stand up meeting?

Hello guys,

I am current working at a software house here in Brazil. We have been using Scrum since 2018, but this semester, half of ours scrum master have leaved the company, and the other half is actually working even on more projects than they can handle. So we have a sales funnel with a lot of clients, people to execute, but to no scrum master (or manager as we call) to guide the project. Anyone has any ideia of what we can do for now, until we capacitate, or hire, more people to be scrum master?

Thank you!!!

I want to take Accredited Agile Scrum Leadership (Executive) Certification.
Is there a specific document to prepare this certification or just the Scrum Framework 3rd Edition?

Scrum Team has 3 roles ... Product Owner, Scrum Master, and Development team (cross-functional)

I heard that there is no need for Job Titles in a Scrum Team as all members of the team are equal

My thought is a bit different ... for me job titles need to be there irrespective of the scrum team as job titles show the growth of the resource in the organization.

Looking for the feedback

We're a group of 11 people.
My boss insists on making a scrum team out of all of us.
As the Scrum Framework suggests 7+-2 people as an ideal Scrum team size, I am not 100% confident if we should move on with a Scrum team of 11 people.
I would love to hear your advice and experience around the same subject.
Thank you very much!
Melinda

Recently I have been asked many times about this question. Could someone help me out to formulate the best answer about the difference between Scrum Trainer and Scrum Coach? Thank you!
