The Scrum Checklist
Understanding the fundamentals of scrum is a very simple thing to do. However, putting it into practice in the world of deadlines, strong characters, and the need for quick decisions can often make it very challenging to get the job done using scrum rules. There are often situations where the rules are forgotten and thrown aside, especially when they are most needed.
In my experience as a scrum master, team leader, and software engineer, I’ve seen how easy it is for employees in a fast-moving company to sidestep the scrum rules and destroy the framework that would help them make their daily lives more efficient. easy. Seeing how easy it is to forget the fundamentals of scrum, I’ve put together this simple checklist that anyone can use on a daily basis. It covers:
o checklists for the fundamental tasks of each scrum role
o An overview and summary of each scrum meeting (time chart)
o checklists for the preparation, conduct and objectives of each scrum meeting
With these checklists, you can be prepared and confident that you are carrying out scrum practices in your daily work, boosting the productivity of your scrum team and increasing the return on investment for the business. A section of the checklist is below.
