Chris Sims e Hillary Louise Johnson – Scrum: a Breathtakingly Brief and Agile Introduction

Dopo la mia webcast del 9 aprile, si sta parlando molto di Scrum e la cosa non può che farmi piacere. Sui canali interni a Clex Academy, mi è stato recentemente chiesto di fornire una bibliografia di riferimento: integro quindi questi consigli del lunedì con qualche altra lettura che riguarda Agile, Scrum e DevOps.

Se conoscete qualcuno che vuole approcciarsi all’argomento e volete consigliargli una buona introduzione, snella e scorrevole, questo è il libro che fa per voi.

Si compone di quattro sezioni e un’appendice:

  1. Una sezione introduttiva su cosa sia il Scrum;
  2. Una sezione sui ruoli, che esplora le caratteristiche di:
    1. Product Owner;
    2. Scrum Master;
    3. (altri) membri del team.
  3. Una sezione sullo sprint, con focus che riguardano:
    1. il ritmo di lavoro;
    2. metodi di pianificazione;
    3. la daily scrum (che nella mia webcast ho chiamato anche standup);
    4. il ruolo delle user stories, su cui tanto mi sto concentrando in questo periodo;
    5. la revisione dello sprint;
    6. la retrospettiva;
    7. la possibilità che uno sprint termini in modo anomalo (e come comportarsi in quel caso);
    8. le procedure cosiddette di inspect & adapt, che alcuni dei miei studenti già conoscono (in quell’occasione, abbiamo usato le coaching cards).

Nell’appendice, viene fatto un riepilogo di valori e principi dello Scrum che, come abbiamo visto, sono fondamentali per un allineamento del team sui metodi.

Ogni lunedì un libro per iniziare la settimana: anche oggi ho rispettato il mio impegno.

Fox Friday: The Fox Woman by Abraham Merritt

The ancient steps wound up the side of the mountain through the tall pines, patience trodden deep into them by the feet of twenty centuries. Some soul of silence, ancient and patient as the steps, brooded over them. They were wide, twenty men could have

Real-time BIM? Thanks, but no thanks

I know, I know, the new ISO is out and bla bla bla, but I gave you a week of mournful silence last week and, for now, let me quote you Nick Fury. Some weeks ago, I wrote an article on “advanced BIM,” whatever that
