Working in scrum – daily sprint meetings
I’m Guy Dimor, lead code for team Wendigo, and today I’ll be writing about scrum, daily sprint meetings, getting used to said meetings and incorporating them into my daily schedule.
Going into this project, I had no idea what scrum is or how it works, nor did I have any particular interest in anything relating to project management. However, once I had scrum explained to me, most of it seemed rather intuitive.
While it wasn’t too challenging, I still needed to put […]

Dev Blog #3 -How We Work
Hello again!
This week I will be writing about how our team works during the game production, which we do by follow the Scrum framework. Scrum is an agile framework especially tailored for software development, so naturally it works very well for game production as well. When working with Scrum, the goal is to often and continuously produce increments/a shippable product, in this case working versions of the game. To do this, we work in sprints. Under normal conditions a sprint […]

Dum-du-dum Scrum!
Today I want to talk about… Uhm… Scrum.
Yes, I know to all my new visitors, the word Scrum might seem like a new, strange word, or if not, good! You’ve done your homework in game design! But for the rest of us game design students, scrum is a planning device that the people that I’ve met in my course either love or hate. Or maybe I should say, in the time that I have used Scrum, I have both loved […]

Review of the Scrum pattern
It has been five weeks since we start to follow the Scrum working pattern, I got fully used to it and realized a reliable project management will increase the efficiency and cooperation of the group to a large extend.
“The Scrum is a lightweight framework designed to help small, close-knit teams of people develop complex products. A scrum team typically consists of around seven people who work together in short, sustainable bursts of activity called sprints, with plenty of time for […]

Blog Post #3 – Scrum
Scrum is a method of development in which certain portions of the work are divided into weekly packages called Sprints. Scrum also calls for daily standup meetings which are simply short meetings to go over the previous day.
I think the scrum method has been extremely helpful in the development of Behemoth. I have found it makes keeping track of everything that needs to be done very well and also prevents each member of the group from getting too bogged […]

Cut my life into stand-ups, this is my Scrum approach… Correlation, No waterfall…. Don’t give a truck, if you click this post, reading
Hello!
Today I will be sharing my experiences with Scrum as a producer (Scrum master??) for team Kraken.
Don’t mind the title, just follow the tune
Sprints and tasks
For this project, the sprint length was pre-determined to be 1 week long (although 2-4 week long sprints are most effective), which I am not very content with. However looking from another perspective, it makes fellow team members work pretty much every day. Starting with small steps is good for them, rather than starting with […]

2018.02.22 – Agile-ish Game Development w/ Scrum
A primer on Scrum
Source: https://blog.ganttpro.com/en/waterfall-project-management-methodology-pros-and-cons/
Today we will be tackling a topic many of your may have heard of, SCRUM. Some call it agile development, some lean, others yet have referred to it as Kanban practices. All of them are fulfilling a certain need to move away from traditional management, often called waterfall management due to the way it plans, schedule and executes projects.
SCRUM has been the preferred management methodology for software development for a while. However, it has […]

Visual design choices in conjunction with SCRUM
Friendship Down is the first form of concrete game development that our group, a squad of first year students, undertake. Lack of prior experience – potentially both within the field of our respective minors and in the processes of development as a whole – was initially present in all of us. It was important to consider this context as we moved into the production of the game. SCRUM encourages an early assessment of risks and potential causes of project failure, […]

Development blog 3: Sprint and scrum
(This blog crashed and everything was lost due to the bad connection of Eduroam. I rushed this blog to meet the deadline so things may not look pretty.)
Good morning all. As one of the artist in group Zombie. I am excited to present you our third development blog – Sprint and scrum. Unlike before, this time I will talk about how has scrum affected the development of our newest exploration game- Umibozu.
So let me start off with discussing what are […]

Project Aetherial Blog Three
Introduction
Time for blog number three! The ALPHA is behind us and we look forward unto the second playtesting session and the BETA. After two blogs describing the design and creation process of enemies in the game, this week’s blog will venture into the topic of scrum. I will mention the pieces of the development procedure which I appreciate the most.
Before this course, I personally had no experience working with scrum and if I had to guess, none of my teammates […]

Agileception
Scrum, or any flavor of agile development is a good tool for structuring work. But depending on the environment and tool it can vary from good to outright awful. I have experience working professionally as a software developer on large projects. When working several months or years on a larger project where you have to adapt to changes from customers, it’s a must have, to be able to keep track of rapid changes and still keeping on track.

Scrums effect on our development
Working with scrum as our framework has aided us with scheduling our workload efficiently, for the most part. I cannot speak for everyone, but at least in my group we feel like the milestones set by by our course representative are diminishing the freedom that scrum is supposed to give the team. I can understand that it is easier to judge how far a project has progressed if they pass all the set criterias, but it feels like it makes […]
