I completely agree that you take a hit by not all being in one place! My point about the standup meeting is that to me it's the least important of the Scrum...
... Conversely after the retrospective I would argue its the 2nd most important meeting in Scrum. Basically I tell teams if you can't talk daily then its not...
Would whoever owns this account please configure your group settings to not send emails? I'm tired of my inbox filling up with messages from "The Webmaster of...
... Yes, having most of the team co-located and just one or two remote is almost the worst of both worlds. I saw that several times at Macromedia where one or...
Well, I didn't say you didn't need to be able to talk everyday - just that you may be able to get along without an all-together-at-the-same-time standup...
I can echo the epic as container concept from many customers I work with. They're also used to capture vague requirements/desirements that need refinement. And...

Hi, I use 'feature' to refer to a thing the business/stakeholders want from us. I use 'story' and 'user story' interchangeably for the team's description of a...
Thanks to all for the feedback on this thread. What I gathered, in terms of my original questions, is that the community has seen this practice, doesn't care...
Hi, I guess this discussion is slightly specific for teams using User Stories as PBIs, but could also be relevant for other teams using other types of PBIs. So...
I am quite certain there is no one size fits all answer to this question. Here is what I see helps most teams I encountered in the past years. At sprint...
Kurt, ... Documents should facilitate conversation, not replace it. http://blog.gdinwiddie.com/2010/08/06/the-use-of-documentation/ ... I think it takes more...
Kurt, Your story smells like the PO is not highly available. Is that true or false? If it's false, what rough % of the time can a developer get an answer...
at Sam, this an amazing presentation. Thanks for sharing. Other kind of inspiration can be grabbed at http://www.bbrt.org/beyond-budgeting/bb-ben.html Cheers ...
Hi Kurt, The goal of the planning meeting is to forecast what the team can accomplish during the sprint (capacity based or velocity based) and to come up with...
Hi Kurt, ... Sorry if this sounds a bit Yoda, but I'd say it needs to be understood as much as necessary for each point in it's lifecycle to succeed, while...

Dean Leffingwell's Scaled Agile Framework, targeted at large organizations, uses feature and story in much the same way as Chet. A story is what teams work on....
That seems like the simplest thing that could [and does] work. Kudos to you, Chet, for the gentle smack of "Einstein's KISS" (... Simple & Sufficient). Just...
On Mon, Jan 7, 2013 at 4:06 PM, George Dinwiddie ... Agree. ... Hmm that is wise. We don't have dedicated testers. That is shared by other developers, the...
Hi, no the PO is available, probably around 80% of the time. But the team wont come to him often because they work from the documents instead. When a question...
... Well as far as Scrum goes, our velocity is based on a simple count of stories and it seems to work ok for sprint and release planning. However to prepare...
Hi, thanks for your comments. I still remain a bit confused though. Considering that so much needs to be understood about a story for grooming and planning, I...
Hi Kurt, ... How about several conversations, not "just before" they start developing? Try paying attention to what misunderstandings come up and have to be...
Hi Kurt, ... This suggests to me that we may have the wrong Product Owner ... Ron Jeffries www.XProgramming.com I know we always like to say it'll be easier to...
Hi Kurt, ... Your actual experience will tell you this. There may be some aspects that we'll all think of. Keeping track of the sort of things that go wrong...
Kurt, ... Yes, the point is to do **as little** conversation as possible at **each stage*** to get the **most understanding** required so you can proceed to...
Kurt, ... I'd replace "asking questions" with "having a conversation" I'd try working with the PO and team on this. How to get both parties to talk instead of...
Kurt, ... There seems to be a disconnect here. The conversations should happen in grooming sessions in the weeks leading up to the story becoming "work in...
