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.

Scrum: a Breathtakingly Brief and Agile Introduction
Dymaxicon

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.

Spooktober 27 – The Black Monk (2)

Chapter 3 After supper, when the visitors had gone, he went to his room and lay down on the sofa: he wanted to think about the monk. But a minute later Tanya came in. “Here, Andryusha; read father’s articles,” she said, giving him a bundle

Spooktober 26 – The Black Monk (1)

Anton Chekhov (1860–1904) was a Russian physician, short-story writer and playwright, and I’m not particularly fond of him, though he’s widely regarded as one of the greatest masters of modern short fiction and who am I to argue? His work is celebrated for its psychological

Beauty and Ugliness: an exhibition

A few pictures from the recently closed exhibition on Beauty and Ugliness as an aesthetic paradigma in which what’s ideal and what’s grotesque melt together as sides of the same coin. The exhibition featured works by Brueghel (lent from the other exhibition at Palazzo Reale),
