Is your team ready for Scrum?
While you're probably not going to have a perfect team in a perfect environment as you start or continue your Scrum practices, I've provided a short checklist to help you identify the most important elements to help you as you begin:
- Do you have a team whose members are dedicated to the project? Do the members represent a cross-section of skills and talents—everything necessary to build features for the customer?
- Do you have a product owner? If not, can you find someone to play this role so that the team can get started working on the most important items?
- Does the product owner have a product vision and a product backlog? (See Chapter 5, The End? Improving Product and Process One Bite at a Time, for more details)
- Can you establish—at maximum—a 30-day sprint? Shorter if possible?
- Can you get participation from business stakeholders in the sprint review? (Not a requirement, but sure to drive urgency and visibility to your team).
- Do you feel courageous enough to communicate obstacles as they arise?
- Can you help the team create and maintain the sprint backlog? (See Chapter 2, Release Planning – Tuning Product Development, for more details)
- Can you commit to protecting the team from interruptions, no matter the interrupter?
