Nothing to see here

Today I am going to touch upon the framework that has helped us successfully progress in creating our game, Aetherial. The thing that has our backs all the time and keeps us all organized and continuously engaged with the game is Scrum.
Scrum is an agile framework used in product development, where teams make use of sprint goals in order to achieve a common goal. Each product is divided into user stories, which are a representation of what the team expects from […]

Post #3 – Scrum – How it has affected the project so far

Group Siren (the group I am a member of) has been working together since early last semester, though without applying a specific framework to our work-process. As we started working on Behemoth, which we are currently doing, we also started using Scrum as the framework for our project.

 
Scrum for dummies
Scrum is an agile framework, based on the agile manifesto and can be summarised as an itterative development process, best applied when you have a rough idea of where you want […]

Working with Scrum
Hello again! In this weeks blog post I will discuss my experiences as a team member from working with the Scrum toolkit during the development of our game. I will explain what Scrum is and how our team has implemented and used it, as well as my own experiences as an individual team member.
Scrum is a working toolkit that was first introduced to our groups Project Manager in his minor and then from our Project Manager to the […]

Scrum Development

One of the less apparent requirements of our Project is the framework we work in, namely Scrum. Scrum is an Agile Project Framework that is prominently used within the video game industry. For me personally, Scrum has always been slightly mysterious. That may sound a bit strange to say when you consider the fact that I am studying Project Management, but there are some reasons for this. I just finished up a whole semester of studying traditional Project Management, in […]

Scrum

During this project that we’re working on we have been using “scrum” as a tool for our workflow, and in this post I will reflect on how the usage of it has been.
Scrum is a method used when working in software development teams and its purpose is to make the process more effective. At the start of the project a backlog is filled out containing all the features and artefacts needed for the product to be finished. The period between […]

humm,summ,Scrum…

From my perspective, Scrum is basically a detailed schedule which you have to set up before doing anything. It acts as a third person in between people in groups letting them keep track of everything from what has already been done to what needs to be done.

Having a scrum for different works such as designing a game is really useful, at least I’m finding it like that way. Good thing my project manager is a really handy guy who does […]

SCRUM

This week our assignment is to write a blog post about how Scrum has affected the development of our game. I’m sure most of the readers of this blog are already familiar with Scrum however to be thorough, I will first briefly explain the basics and then explain how Scrum has been implemented by our group. Specifically, I will write about all the meetings associated with Sprints which I will soon explain in more detail.
Scrum is an agile framework meant to […]

It’s that time of the week again, loyal followers!
This week everyone is expected to write about their experience with Scrum and yours truly is no exception. Now, where to start?
I guess it’s appropriate to start with my initial reaction to Scrum, which was… sceptical, to say the least. I’ve always expected these ”workflow enhancers” and whatnot to be a huge waste of time.I know it may sound narrow-minded but from personal experience they never live up to the hype, nobody […]

Lycanthrope: Scrum, Agile Development

Hello! My name is Mattias Borgqvist and I am currently working on a shoot em up game based on the concept document “A game of beelonging” by group Ouroboros.
Scrum the agile method they taught to us during the lectures and that we finally got to apply to our own game development, so what do I have to tell about it?
Scrum has been a very useful tool during our development and is something I would like to use in future development […]

The agile way to achieve boatiness

Game development requires planning in order to be structured. The extra work required to do the planning is worth it because it makes the rest of the work easier. Going for an agile framework over a traditional one is usually preferred for software development.
Making it go around
Boaty.
In agile development, the product is broken up into pieces, with the goal being incrementally improving it throughout the iterations. An iteration is one of many work cycles in the development process. At the […]

Agile Programming

Welcome back honored blog-reader,
Fredrik here again, and today I will discuss Scrum and how it has affected my personal workflow throughout this project. First off I would like to talk about the bad parts. For instance, the fact that there are now multiple additional obstacles in the way of me sitting down and actually coding. Which as a fairly lazy person is definitely a huge problem. Not only do I have to make a new task within HacknPlan (the Kanban […]

Third Post: Scrum

This week I am going to talk a little bit about the work method my team is required to use and how it affected our development process.
My team and I work with a method called scrum. Basically how each work week looks like is that we pick a number of items from a list of things that need to be done, and work with them throughout the week. At the end of the week we review how far we have […]
