thanks Srinivas. I believe our feature can be broken down. but that PM doesn't want to break it down. that's the problem. he thinks it's a waste of effort to...
Hi Tom you are right. this PM is not a scrum master. even more, he doesn't know agile. I know this is the problem of our organization, but that's fact. I have...

Well, it looks like you've got a typical obstinate, "waterfall" oriented PM, and he is not interested in agile development, and Scrum. Maybe you should just...
yes, you are right, Roy. Best Regards Leo Ren ________________________________ From: scrumdevelopment@yahoogroups.com [mailto:scrumdevelopment@yahoogroups.com]...
Ah, yes, it seems he is "ferally tied to the tyranny of the waterfall." It is an all-too-familiar scene with few painless options or remedies. Well, other...

Tom, is the Cisco story documented anywhere? To: scrumdevelopment@...: tom.mellor.c5t2@...: Fri, 4 Jan 2008 02:14:12...
I do not think it is a waterfall practice. Even if one uses Waterfall, features have to be broken down for better estimation. Estimation a large chuck cannot...
Estimation is a means to an end, not the goal of iterative development. The driving force behind iterations is *feedback*. Even if a feature is incomplete...

Currently I already initiated a Project 30%done in Waterfall model and now because of the demand of the business and market we have to finish this product in a...

In principle, it is simple. First, you must know what has already been accomplished, insofaras that will be built on. If knowledge of the existing features is...

Hi, I totally agree with Roy. The main activity that takes the most of the effort is to fill in the requirement list which in Scrum is called a Product Backlog...
I was talking with a friend of mine once and he claims that agile development only cares about develop the system as fast as you can and with good quality, but...

You make an odd contradiction there... " ... care about develop the system ... with good quality' but "without caring if somebody needs to maintain the...
Wesley, Is your friend's claim about agile not "caring if somebody (who doesn't belongs to the development team) needs to maintenance the system" based in...
... While it's true that some (a lot?) of teams skip planning and designing for the future in the name of agile, this is not being agile. On the contrary, I...
That's one very misinformed friend. In fact, prudent application of Scrum would require that your design and construction at least consider and respond to...
Without knowing the size of your company and its familiarity with Scrum, this is hard to judge. But, some of the greatest challenges to introducing Scrum...
The Product Backlog goes further than just the current sprint, so you can start tackling the first (= most important) task(s) that you didn't commit to in the...

Well, if the job is done in 20 days, then I guess that's not a very big job. If your sprint is 30 days, you can't pad out the job just to make it fit more...

Hi-- I know the author is probably too modest to announce to this group that he's written a book on Scrum in German so I'll mention it for him. (And he'll...
