Scrum – Agile Methodology – An introduction

Posted on by Ibiz expertify

  • Agile says “No Documentation”. So, no documents will be created henceforth
  • Each department will transition to Agile methodology in its own pace. Example Testing teams would take a different time to move to agile compared to the development or the project management teams.
  • Start the transition from bottom up. 
Stories
  • Ignore story priorities
  • All stories must complete on last 1-2 days of sprint
  • Team should pick up more stories than it can test
  • Make sure Definition of Done (DoD) is never looked into during sprint review and is invisible on team pages too
  • Make sure tasks published on scrum task board do not have test plan review, test execution and bug fixing
  • Code changes should continue till last date of sprint
  • Make sure minimum time exists for bug fixing at the end of sprint
  • Make sure some bugs are carried over to next sprint and to bug backlog
  • Make sure bugs are not tagged to stories/feature
  • Make sure no regression testing is possible in the sprint
  • Focus only on the tasks assigned to you
  • Estimates should include only development complexity/size
