Team Member Assessments: Avg Comments about Assessments Rank Team member initials ===> JS DS JS JP AB CD HK KM CV DR 1. Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer 1. Is the customer satisfied? Is the team producing product on Getting Portal to production was huge and was very Agile. Got a lot of stuff out through early and continuous delivery of valuable a regular basis, preferably each sprint, that allows the there. Satisfied part caused some of the 3 scores. Too many warranty items. Id product. customer to review what was being created in light of what a lessons learned to help reduce some of our warranty issues they asked for? This does not require delivery to production but delivery in some fashion that is usable by the product owner. 2. Welcome changing requirements, even late in development. Agile processes harness change for the customer's competitive advantage. 3. Deliver working product frequently, from a couple of weeks to a couple of months, with a preference to the shorter timescale. 4. Business people and team members (developers) must work together daily. 2. Has the team been open to changes? Are you following a process that allows the customer to learn from early discoveries and adjust to build a better product? Has the product owner been engaged in adjusting the product backlog with new user stories, new priorities, etc.? 3. Was product actually released more than once to the customers for their use and consumption? Has this been happening within a couple of months or less? Could releases happen more often? 4. Are the developers working directly with the customers and/or business people, and is this interaction occurring on a DAILY basis? 5. Build teams around motivated individuals. Give 5. Does the team have an environment that supports building them the environment and support they need, and the deliverables? This includes the technical environment(s) trust them to get the job done. and tools as well as information radiators like whiteboards or common team spaces. In addition, does the team feel empowered by the leaders and sponsors? Is there an element of trust given to the team? 6. The most efficient and effective method of 6. Are you able to meet face-to-face with other people on the conveying information to and within a team? When the need to communicate is evident, do team development team is face-to-face conversation. members seek each other out in person? If this is not possible because of location, does the team use the next available substitute, such as video conferencing and collaborative screen sharing? 7. Working product is the primary measure of progress. 8. Agile processes promote sustainable development. The sponsors, team members (developers) and users should be able to maintain 7. Does the team measure its progress based on the completion and delivery of working product (not dates or hours or phases)? Can the team members identify the artifacts that show this measurement? Is this measurement used to communicate progress to the customers and stakeholders? 8. Do team members believe the pace of development could continue forever? Or are people being burned out and is more being demanded of them than is reasonable? Is there an element of 'fun' on this team? Portal was worked very Agile with changing requirements. Did a lot better with getting stakeholders involved in our grooming sessions. Not sure we are getting our customers involved early enough. Feel our stakeholders aren't as involved as they should be. Feel product owner needed to be more involved but it has improved alot towards the end of these six sprints. As we do the research, how do we keep that liason going. We need to be sure the stakeholders are receptive to involving them often. Some of our releases were defect fixes, but we many of them included other working products. Some team members feel we still always released good product, only small pieces had defects and we worked quickly to resolve. Feel we need to get them involved more often one idea is daily scrum but not all agree. Feel we are bringing them in more often than the past. Going forward, we want to score this based on appropriate interaction not Daily. Lost Systst for much of these six sprints. Still want to be all together. Whiteboard needs a better location Feel we meet face to face a lot but now and then we still just throw over the wall vs pairing. We are date, hour and phase heavy. Not all team members agree. Not sure we are good at showing artifiacts. We have release notes, but that's not super great. Off hour validation is getting to be alot. UCP is getting bigger. Helping others for prod validation is getting more difficult. Team has fun. Same stories over and over takes away from the fun, We don't get to do as much innovative work as we would like. The pace of the work we plan is very manageable a constant pace indefinitely. 9. Continuous attention to excellence and good 9.

Are user stories/pbis being updated often and is testing automated to ensure quality meets or exceeds the expectations of the customers? 10. Simplicity--the art of maximizing the amount 10.

Does leadership entrust the team to make their own decisions and organize the work on their own? Does the same stories colored gray and let P.O. and S.M. know th d il t d i thi d d? Wh We have introduced j-unit tests which is a good improvement. Feel we are revising design when appropriate. Still lacking automated testing, We had too many defects going to product so we are finding we haven't tested all we should. Feel we should have more discussion around story priority throughout the sprint. Don't always do a good job of understanding the task to know if we are doing it efficiently or effectively. We aren't sure if we keep this principle in mind during our work. Started to push with questions when researching stories to determine if this is worth working. Do we need to work on cleaning up our backlog? Need to Not everyone is facilitating daily stand ups. Some team members feel we do not own the backlog but others feel we do contribute.
