Scrum and the Daily Stand Up

Scrum is one of many approaches to agile development. All agile approaches have in common that the solution is developed iteratively and released in increments. Agile approaches build on the four pillars of agile as outlined in the Agile Manifesto.

Scrum offers a framework in which teams that adhere to the agile philosophy can work productively. The development iterations in Scrum are called sprints and can each be one to […]

The Scrumptious parts of Scrum

As you all know, this week we are supposed to write about our life and times with the agile development method, Scrum.
Scrum and me: Even though I’ve worked with scrum in the past 5 weeks, I still can’t really say anything about it at all. Might this because I don’t have anything to compare it to and that the only place I worked at was in the service industry? Probably.  I can however say how scrum affects my workflow.

 First of […]

THEN BOOM. SCRUM… 5SD064 Hanna Aho Lind

Hello again, fellow classmates and teachers. Like everyone else this week I´m writing about scrum and how it has affected my developement.
Scrum is a method we have almost been forced to adept in the production from the teachers of the course, hence why we in group Troll have worked closely with it. We have had several lectures about it, and even an individual lesson from our scrum-master Kim.
For me to be able to tell how scrum has affected me and […]

Using Scrum

In my opinion, Scrum have been very useful from the very start of this project. As the producer (project leader) of the project, the several approaches within Scrum have helped me maintain the right course of the project. By using the Product Backlog, filling in all the numerous features, have made it easy to follow the progress of the project. Since the Product Backlog is updated daily, it is easy to follow the process of all the team members. The […]

How a Scrum Works
This is to make the un-initiated understand the basics of what Scrum is, and how it can be used as a framework. Feel free to skip if you understand Scrum.
The basic principles of Scrum is to work in an iterative environment consisting of small teams that self-organize tasks that need to be performed in order to ship a product. Some roles in the team are:
Product Owner– The person or entity the team is working for, and determines […]

5SD064 – Blog Post 3 : Scrum

This post will be about how Scrum has influenced the development of Team Troll’s game, Depth, from the programmer’s perspective.
Let us start with the good parts.
Scrum has been quite effective when it comes to facilitating group communication. Stand-up meetings are a great way of clearly and concisely sharing the what, when and why of each team member’s work, and provides a way of adjusting workload and work items in a way which is reactive to small changes. For example, since […]

Dev Blog 3, Working With Scrum

In this week’s blog post I will be writing about my experience working with the agile framework Scrum and how it has affected our development.
The most basic explanation of what Scrum is that I can give would be: divide all work to be done into small work items (artefacts), each week (each sprint) pick the items that you’re going to work on. Having this clear structure to help choose what you’re going to work on made sense to me right […]

Oskar Karlsson game dev – Scrum

I am oskar Karlsson lead programmer in the group Archon and we are working on the game Aetherial made by the group Zombie. During this weeks we in the group have been using scrum and it have helped our group a lot. And when you are using scrum in a group you are supposed to have daily stand up meetings. And have scrum meetings where you are planning the scrum board.
We in the group Archon have a project manager that […]

Scrum and Its Effects on Development

It is my experience that Scrum is a great lightweight framework for iterative development but it also comes with certain conditions that greatly affect development.
I have had some experience with Scrum in the past inside of an office environment and as such can make some comparisons between how Scrum has affected development based on the circumstances in which it is used.

Overall, Scrum is perhaps the most competent tool in which to have a cycle of iterative development. It allows a […]

Scrum-ing the project

Hi,
writing about scrum from a perspective of a first year management student, who will learn about scrum in the second year of study, sounds a little awkward. The more funny thing about it is, that a literature for a scrum has been given to us by game design course and not by management with agile methods course. However, we started our shoot ’em up game project in full scrum way.
What is scrum?
It is one of the agile approaches to management, which characterise […]

How scrum impacted our development process.

During our time of developing “Aetherial” we barely have any of our regular lectures. For me this poorly structured week can have negative consequences on my productivity. Scrum has made it easier for us to structure our work week and the daily stand up meetings help us to keep our head in the game and focused on what we have to do. It also greatly improves group communications, as problems with different aspects of the game will surface sooner. This […]

Blog 3: Hello Scrum

Hellu!
In this entry I will talk about how my team is working with scrum and how it affects my work and development.
Structure
For me scrum has meant more structure in my development. I get a clear overview what needs to be done and when. I think it’s really good to have a product backlog where we list all the assets for the game and then plan each sprint what needs to be done to meet up with the goal for […]
