What Four Tools Can You Use Today?

What Four Tools You Can Use Today? 1. MoSCow 2. Daily Stand-Up /Scrum 3. Kanban Boards 4. User Stories

The MoSCoW Approach The most important features are in the final solution no matter what MUST have this requirement to meet the business needs. SHOULD have this requirement if at all possible, but the project success does not rely on this. COULD have this requirement if it does not affect the fitness of business needs of the project. WON'T represents a requirement that stakeholders have agreed will not be implemented in a given release, but may be considered for the future.

Daily Stand-Up/Scrum The Daily Scrum is a 15-minute time-boxed daily event for the Development Team to meet and create a plan for the next 24 hours. Reviewing work done since the last Daily Scrum and forecasting the work that can be done before the next one.

Daily Stand-Up/Scrum Improves communications. Eliminates the need for other meetings. Helps identify impediments to progress. Improves upon the Development Team s level of knowledge. A key inspect and adapt meeting.

Daily Stand-Up/Scrum The Daily Scrum is held at the same time and place each day to reduce complexity: 1. What did I do yesterday that helped the Development Team meet the Sprint Goal? 2. What will I do today to help the Development Team meet the Sprint Goal? 3. Do I see any impediment that prevent me or the Development Team from meeting the Sprint Goal?

Ideal Time Estimates How long will it take if I don t have any distractions at all? A 40 hour work week is ideal time spent on work. Is this realistic? Estimates need to be made based on likely time instead.
