        to its practice
          Andre Odendaal
      Student Number: 421625
   ELEN7040 – Investigation Project
Agenda
•   Definition of Agile
•   Definition of Scrum
•   Effective Software Engineering
•   Scrumbut
•   Research Method
•   Results
•   Conclusion
•   Questions
Definition of Agile
Definition of Scrum
• Short development cycles called Sprints
• Requirements kept in Product Backlog managed & ranked
  by Product Owner & times estimated by team
• During Sprint Planning team selects top items for Sprint
  Backlog
• Progress of items completed during sprint tracked in
  Burndown Chart
• Team velocity calculated from burndown predicts time to
  complete rest of product backlog
• Working code delivered at Sprint Review and accessed by
  Stakeholders who make new requirements
• Team not disrupted during sprint so code is delivered, new
  issues added to product backlog
Effective Software Engineering
                                   Is Scrum definition an
“(1) The application of a              effective software
   systematic, disciplined,            engineering approach?
   quantifiable approach to        • Systematic – Yes, it has a
   the development, operation          repeatable process
   and maintenance of              • Disciplined – Yes, customer
   software; that is, the              included in process, lack of
   application of engineering          disruptions, working
   to software. (2) The study of       software presented
   approaches as in (1).” -        • Quantifiable – Yes, product
   Software Engineering Body           backlog with estimated
   of Knowledge (SWEBOK)               times, burndown chart
                                       tracking progress, velocity
                                       predicting time to complete
Scrumbut
• Difficulty in practicing Scrum as defined is
  recognised
• Expression (ScrumBut)(Reason)(Workaround)
• Altering the methodology to work around
  problems only hides dysfunction
Research Method
• Online survey and                 • Key areas of Scrum
  interviews                          surveyed
• Based on Nokia Test                  –   Iterations
   – Developed by Bas Vodde in         –   Testing
     2005                              –   Enabling Specifications
   – Updated to include Scrum          –   Product Owner
     in 2007 for Nokia Siemens         –   Product Backlog
     Networks
                                       –   Estimates
   – 2007 scoring added by Jeff
     Sutherland for certification      –   Burn down
     courses                           –   Sprint Review
• Piloted with known                   –   Disruptions
  Scrum practitioners                  –   Teams
Results
         Key Area     Average Score
    Iterations            6.32
    Testing                3.6
    Enabling               4.7
    Specifications
    Product Owner         3.17
    Product Backlog       2.88
    Estimates             3.08
    Burn down             1.48
    Sprint Review         1.47
    Disruptions           N/A
    Teams                 4.09
    Total                 3.42
Conclusion
• The practice of Scrum          Is Scrum practice an effective
  compares poorly to its             software engineering
  definition                         approach?
• Teams are not completing       • Systematic – No, teams are
  the Sprint cycle                   not completing Sprint cycle
• Teams are not tracking their   • Disciplined – No, Customer
  progress through the sprint        not included, working
                                     software not presented
                                 • Quantifiable – No, product
                                     backlog not estimated, no
                                     burn chart or velocity
