Hi, I am basically looking for simple mechanism to measure success on agile projects from customer point of view. How customer would measure/define success on...
Hi, Let me just pile on to what Mike said. (In addition to being a great guy, it is remarkable how well Mike thinks. This is especially proven by how often...
... I think the original poster was trying to find a good way to ask the customern... the title of the post contains "from the customer point of view"....
The obvious and wrong answers is "just ask the customer". I know of projects that were 2 months late [and still useful to the customer as he had kept a buffer...
If the customer was engaged during the entire process, then how you were late stumps me. Did the customer select work from the product backlog on their...
I have a strong desire to make sure that whatever project I work on the customer defines success. Make sure everything is transparent and everyone will win. ...

Hi, Every once in a while I will throw out a statement like that just to see if people are reading my replies (smile). Let me address your second question...

Hi Mike: This particular case was a completely cowboy style project masquerading as Agile. ... This in my opinion is single biggest reason why 'most efficient...
Vik, This is an involved topic. I think there are few truly wrong answers. But to be more direct... I think I agree with you. I think you are saying that...
Hello, I am fairly new to Scrum (3 months). After my CSM training (woof) my understanding was that every Sprint must include at least one piece of demonstrable...
Hey Christy Scrum is iterative, incremental process. Scrum structures product development in cycles of work , iterations of work which are typically 1-4 weeks...
The design document would only be considered a deliverable if the Product Owner asked for it. Does the PO get any value from it? If not, then you're not done. ...
... Exactly right! I suggest reworking you design story into a very thin sliver of functionality that does almost nothing, but demonstrates the architectural...
... definition ... don't ... When it comes to practices (e.g., do you always deliver demonstrable or deliverable code) one has to remember there is only one...
... Basharat, Mark, and George got this right. Even if the first Sprint is 90% analysis and design, Scrum entails some reduction to practice as a reality...
I still think that even with "a brilliant product owner" - its still going to be better if we can poll the whole team on how they are doing. Maybe this can be...

You are asking me the same question that a surgeon asks. Am I doing a good job if I follow all the steps and if the patient gets well or if they die is not my...

Think carefully about the impact of making the team responsible for anything other than what they are asked to - and agree to - do. They can anything beyond...
Mike: I do agree with what you are saying. "The team should do all it can to realize product owners vision and the first step towards the same could be to ask...
If what you are saying in reference to the Product Owner getting feedback from the team confirms the notion that the retro, daily Scrum and the Planning...

Not to nit-pick, but... There was one building that was condemned because when they were pulling pileons in the Ft. Point Channel it sank by 2+ feet in an...
