Course introduction

It has been more than ten years since the Agile manifesto was put forward in 2001. Agile not only has a strong momentum of development abroad, but also more and more enterprises in China have started agile transformation. It was the foreign companies that brought Agile to China in the beginning, and now state-owned enterprises, private enterprises, private enterprises and start-ups are more or less adopting agile practices.

Module 1: Overview of Agile and Scrum

Agile software development is gaining popularity, but only a small percentage of agile companies are able to consistently deliver business value and customer satisfaction. A significant number of agile transformations in the enterprise have not worked well, but what’s the problem? This workshop will explain agile from the perspective of “tao, Dharma and art”. Participants will learn not only what agile is, but also why it is needed, what is at the core of agile, and what benefits agile brings to the enterprise.

Scrum, as a framework for agile software development, is simple, but not easy to implement. This module will analyze Scrum values, the foundations of Scrum, and an overview of Scrum.

Module 2: Scrum roles

Scrum consists of three roles: ScrumMaster, product owner, and development team. Why these 3 roles, why there is no project manager, what the line manager is responsible for. These questions will be explained in this module.

2.1 Development Team

Development teams in Scrum are self-organizing, cross-functional teams, small teams, and work in a stampede. This sub-module will focus on issues related to development teams, such as how to build such teams and how to motivate team autonomy.

2.2 scrum master

The ScrumMaster is a new role, he is not the project manager. In Scrum teams, the ScrumMaster often appears to be “idle” with little to do. This is both an illusion and a misunderstanding. The ScrumMaster can act as a coach and coach the Scrum transition team; The ScrumMaster can also be used as a sheepdog to protect the team from outside interference and focus on achieving Sprint goals during the Sprint. The ScrumMaster can also act as a facilitator to make team meetings more focused and simpler; The ScrumMaster is also a master of change, helping not only his team Scrum transform, but also the organization transform.

2.3 Product Owner

The product owner is responsible for maximizing the value of the product and the development team’s work. What tools and how the product owner can do this in Scrum, and what the product owner’s responsibilities are, will be discussed in this submodule.

Module 3: Product list and entries for Scrum artifacts

The product list is a vital input to the team’s work. A good product list is ODDE’s. How to create a good product list, how to split the items in the product list, what can be put in the product list, some common stink of the product list. These topics will be discussed in depth in this module.

Module 4: Agile estimation and planning

How estimates are done in Agile and how detailed they need to be. The Agile manifesto states that “responding to change is more important than following a plan”, so is planning still needed in Agile? What planning is in Agile, what it is used for, and at what stage. This module focuses on some of these topics.

Module 5: Scrum meeting

Scrum meetings include Sprint planning meetings, daily stand-up meetings, Sprint reviews, Sprint reviews, and product list review meetings. It is these five meetings that underpin the Scrum framework and string together the Scrum team’s agenda. This module will take a different approach and create the answers to why these five meetings are held, when they are held, who attends them, how long they are held and how they are held.
