The Scrum Team

There are three fundamental roles in Scrum: the Product Owner, the Scrum Master, and the Scrum Team.

Definition

The Scrum Team is a self-organized group of up-to 7 individuals with no pre-defined roles who work in collaboration to deliver upon their commitments. The Scrum Team is often comprised of cross-functional individuals who work to successfully complete the activities identified as part of the sprint backlog.

What the Scrum Team does

The Scrum Team is responsible for the following activities:

Following a negotiation with the Product Owner, selects the goal of the sprint;
Organizes itself and its work;
Plans and executes the tasks identified during the Sprint Planning Meeting;
Determines the appropriate methods of delivering on their commitments;
Presents the resulting work to the Product Owner.

Coding and Debugging in Bubbles March 12, 2010
A new concept for the modern IDE, Code Bubbles allows developers to see and work different fragments of code as one unit. Debugging sessions can be associated with those units save and retrieved later for continued work. Quite impressive! It’s really a departure from the IDEs we’ve been using so far. Of course, this is [...] […]

An example of not applying the repair rule principle March 12, 2010
Errors should never pass describes the case of AppArmour which fails to follow the Rule of Repair. In this particular case, AppArmor could not make sense of the user (config) input – and thus cannot repair the data-, so it should fail as noisily and as soon as possible to prevent debugging nightmares. Grails is another [...] […]

On real meritocracy March 12, 2010
If you want to hear about a real example of pure meritocracy, you should listen to Tarus Balog on Linux Link Tech Show episode 343. This guy has truly understood how to lead an open source project, and a number of really interesting things such as Open Source Marketing are discussed. (VCs who want to [...] […]

What Thoughtworkers think of git… March 12, 2010
Martin Fowler published an informal survey of version control tools among Thoughtworkers. Of course, the big winner is git, and anyone who has been going through the effort of learning it correctly would confirm. BTW, if you want some help convincing people that git is better, do not hesitate to take a look at why git [...] […]

DDD and NoSQL are a nice fit March 12, 2010
As I explained in a previous post, Domain-driven Design (DDD) is a design principle I strongly believe in. With more and more evidence of systems/companies switching to NoSQL for scalability reasons, creating a rich domain model becomes less and less of an option if you don’t want to shoot yourself in the foot. Indeed, while traditional [...] […]

GeoTools March 11, 2010
GeoTools developers have released the 2.6.2 version. GeoTools contains an incredible amount of utilities related to GIS and I am totally impressed by the feature set. To give an example of its use, here is some sample code from gisgraphy-java-client ( a simple Java client I am writing for the open source GISgraphy project). It calculates [...] […]

On Design principles March 11, 2010
There is a constant about Software Developers : they love debating and arguing about every single aspect of the development process. Moreover, they will most likely debate forever, because there is usually nothing that can serve as a reference to tell good and bad practices apart. Want to know why ? Well.. everyone is making [...] […]
