Agile

Agile Manifesto

Start with the principles, and then look at the practices

Scrum

Keep each speaker to a very limited question set.

  • What did you accomplish since the last meeting?
  • What are you currently working on?
  • What are you blocked by?
  • What do you need from the rest of the team?

Books

  • A Practical Approach to Large-Scale Agile Development: How HP Transformed LaserJet FutureSmart Firmware by Mike Young, Gary Gruver, Pat Fulghum

Project Management

  • Initiation - where do you want to go?

    • Why is this project important?
    • What does the project entail?
    • What are the goals?
    • Who/what resources needs to be committed?
    • What does success look like?

  • Planning - how do we do this?

    • Figure out the task order
    • Break the tasks down
    • Figure out the costs
    • Identify risks
    • Make a schedule

  • Execution

  • Monitoring and Control

    • Review the progress regularly

  • Closure

    • Get signoff that everything is done
    • Hand over everything
    • Do a retrospective
