DESCRIPTION

When Scrum meets dynamic resource scheduling, we have Scrum Smart. It is breaking paradigms again for those who broke paradigms with Agile management. It is all about fitting more stories and bug fixes to each Sprint, while gaining great visibility to Business Value, cost management and true workload burn down metrics.

Dynamic Resource SchedulingAdding more Storiesto each Sprint

Who is in the team?0Define who is who.

0 Data can be brought from any system with a tabulated format (Excel, for example)

0 Any fields may be created (e-mails, ID, phones, etc)0 Any number of cost per hour definition (standard working

hour, standard hourly expenses), etc.

What are their abilities?0Abilities may define that BOB plays different roles0Abilities may define that many people plays one role

What is the job to be done?0 Define stories, activities, bug-fixes

0 It is possible to apply multiple work breakdown structures (example: Activity 1 belongs to Story A that belongs to Feature 01, or Release 01, etc)

0 In the example, we are pre-determining that activities 1 to 13 would be part of Release 01 and activities 14 to 21 would be part of Release 02 (you can change minds at any time)

Estimate the work and value0 Create initial metrics for business

value, priorities, phases (Sprints/Project Backlog)0 Priorities use the team´s feeling of

what is the most important stuff0 Business Value estimates the

expected result to the Product Owner0 Duration estimates the effort

(workload) to be applied

0 All that can be usually brought from any spread sheet already in use 0 Sprints distribution is a quick draft of

what could go in what moment. 0 If you have monthly Sprints, you are

basically anticipating to what month goes each set of features, stories, etc.

You can change you mind at any time

Apply resources or abilities to Activities

0 Pick groups of activities and change the properties to include a person, a team or abilities necessary to perform the job.

0 You may assign Bob or Diana individually, or select “ability developer” and give the software flexibility to pick the best combination.

0 Any resources may be applied to one or more activities, including necessary use of software, machinery, etc.

When abilities are chosen, the software will check costs, preferences, individual schedule availability, etc.
