“If Scrum was to be reduced to one purpose, and one purpose only, that is the creation of a Done Increment in a Sprint.”

A system called ‘Scrum’, the path we travel.

One team delivering product (the basics)

1. A team pulls work from one Product Backlog.

2. Each Sprint delivers a releasable Increment of product.

The Customer’s Experience

11Gunther Verheyen – Ullizee-Inc, 2016 @Ullizee

Multiple teams delivering product (sticking with the basics)

1. A product has one Product Backlog.

2. Multiple Teams create integrated Increments, that can wrap into releases.The Customer’s Experience

12Gunther Verheyen – Ullizee-Inc, 2016 @Ullizee

On your current or latest project:• Did you deliver an Increment?–Every Sprint?

• Was it releasable?–Every Sprint?

What is stopping you?Does your Scrum Master know? Does management know?

How Done are you?

13Gunther Verheyen – Ullizee-Inc, 2016 @Ullizee

The definition of Done provides transparency

1. What is the state of the Increment?2. Is the Increment releasable, i.e. “ready for release”?

14Gunther Verheyen – Ullizee-Inc, 2016 @Ullizee

Raise your hand:

They might have been produced in similar environments, using similar techniques. Their definitions of “Done” likely reflected very different product qualities.

Which product had the best definition of Done?

15Gunther Verheyen – Ullizee-Inc, 2016 @Ullizee

organization• Skills (training)• Engineering practices & standards• Infrastructure, tooling & automation• Quality standards & guidelines• Removal of Impediments• Elimination of low value

A Scrum Studio. Your flight control center.

A Scrum Studio is a contained, yet integrated, part of the organization where software development fully employs Scrum• A physical or a virtual area• Value over utilization• Stable product teams• Tooling and infrastructure• Facilities and resources

A center of innovative and creative software and people development.

Scrum Guide Update 2016

“When the values of commitment, courage, focus, openness and respect are embodied and lived by the Scrum Team, the Scrum pillars of transparency,

inspection, and adaptation come to life. The Scrum Team members learn and explore those values as they work with the Scrum events, roles and artifacts.

Successful use of Scrum depends on people becoming more proficient in living these five values. People personally commit to achieving the goals of the

Scrum Team. The Scrum Team members have courage to do the right thing and work on tough problems. Everyone focuses on the work of the Sprint and

the goals of the Scrum Team. The Scrum Team and its stakeholders agree to be open about all the work and the challenges with performing the work. Scrum

Team members respect each other to be capable, independent people.”More at “There is value in the Scrum Values” (Gunther Verheyen)
