Question: The aim of this activity to introduce you to the Scrum Board concept and prepare you for your first Scrum. By now teams should have been formed and this activity should be done as a group made up of your team members. The Team Contract is a useful companion for this learning activity as by now you should have some idea of what activity you will need to cover each week.
The table in your Team Contract under the Project Status Reporting section is a blank Scrum Board template. You should copy this template onto a piece of butcher's paper to use each time you present at a Scrum stand-up. The same copy can be used each week as sticky notes will be used instead of writing directly into the scrum board itself.
Your first step is to look at all the activities you need to do in the coming week - these should be laid out in your project plan - these are your sprint activities for the next week. You will need to use sticky notes to write up the activities for the next week's sprint that you want to conclude by the end of the sprint. These sticky notes should be allocated fairly and equitably to each team member in the backlog area, unless you have already started the activity. If the activity is already started it should be placed in the ‘In progress' column.
Once the team have updated the scrum board, they should be ready to perform their first trial stand-up using the scrum board. Your facilitator/lecturer will ask each team member individually to answer three quick questions to understand what progress has been made so far:
What activities have you worked on since the last stand-up?
What activities are you planning on working on next?
Are there any obstacles that are getting in the way of finishing your work as expected?
The stand-up should take no longer than 5 minutes per team. It is intended to be a quick ‘snapshot' in time which helps the team stay on track and if any discussion becomes more complex it should be taken out of the scrum into another meeting with the stakeholders capable of resolving any obstacles or barriers to progress.
