How do I address story writing and slicing challenges?
By Krishnan K - September 29, 20203 Answers

I would like to get some expert opinion on the following product environment in terms of story writing and story slicing. Suppose if we have an enterprise product and many clients would be onboarding to the product in different timelines of deadlines with customized extra features than the basic product. As many clients are getting onboarded with more unique customized features and the overlap is in place, the Product owners are getting challenges in writing the story which enriches the base product that fits our system and slicing the stories into smaller units that fit into the 2-week sprint for the clients. What would be your suggestion or approaches on these sort of situations to address the story writing and slicing challenges?

By Houry Madame - November 14, 20171 Answer

Hi everyone, first I would like to thank you for this wonderful platform which is super rich with information.

I would like to ask a question, I was working for almost 2 years as a scrum master for an IT team and I changed my job lately and my goal is to become an Agile Consultant for different projects in my current company; I would like to know what should I do / learn to be more powerfull in this side. Of course experience will bring a lot with time and my experience is already enough for this position but I want to be a master on this side. Are there any good trainings that I can perform which will help me on this side ? I please ask you to answer my question and give me more info on how to improve !

Mapping Story points against hour Estimation
By Farhan Sabir - April 19, 20171 Answer

Hi everyone,

I have just taken over responsibility as a a scrum master and although i have worked under a scrum team before for a year but i always had difficulty in estimating according to story points. So in my first prokject as a scrum master, I took a risk and though to map story points against hours and it went very well. Here is how i mapped:

Points - Hours

1       2-4

3       4-8

5       8-16

7      16-24

9      24+

When i gave them a range the team was very comfortable so what i did estimated it according to the table above and in the end they all had a rough time frame then when and how they are going to complete it. I need to know that if it is feasible in long run?

Need very valuable comments on this one :)

Changing from time estimation to story points
By Kirsty Fleming - February 15, 20172 Answers

I'm desperately looking for a bit of help! We are a small scrum team who recently turned agile (yay). The previous pm manager preferred using time estimations which was easy for pm's, not the agile-loving dev team. I want to teach my team how to switch to story point estimation and the major concerns of the team are - How do we explain cost to clients per sprint using points? Do we just take the budget total, divide into sprints (based on hours in a sprint) and cost this for a big project?

 

I have a very reluctant team so any help would be greatfuly appreciated!

Does retrospective and showcase MUST be after the end of each interaction?
By rafael fajardo - December 12, 20162 Answers

We are doing a cycle of 2 weeks for each client request leader and a weekly retrospective and show case meetings as agreed with the team.

 

Can we do that or is there some rule that indicates those meetings only after the end of interaction related with client request leader change?
