Why, where and how to include engineering practices in Scrum to maximize value of work done by development in Sprint.

1. ScrumPlus – Why Scrum is not
enough for successful delivery?

P R O F E S S I O N A L S C R U M T R A I N E R ( P S T )

Software Development Coach
Facilitate Scrum.Org (PSM, PSD) and Scrum Alliance (CSD) Training
Teaching and coaching teams on agile and Technical Practices in India, Sri Lanka,
Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Saudi Arabia, Dubai and Philippines.
Strength – Knowledge about Scrum, Kanban and Scaling Agile (LeSS, Nexus,
Spotify). Hands-on TDD, BDD, CI/CD, DevOps, Emergent Design and Agile
Testing Automation
Weakness – Don’t go by book and don’t like prescriptive frameworks

3. Agile Approach

4. “A framework within which people can address
complex and adaptive problems while productively
and creatively delivering products of the highest
possible value”
What is Scrum?
Jeff Sutherland Ken Schwaber

5. Scrum Framework
Scrum.Org

6. Scrum Values
Openness
Transparency of our results,
problems, strengths,
development needs helps us
create a culture of openness
Commitment
As we have greater control over what
we do and how we do, we become
more committed for success
Focus
As we focus only on few things
at a time, we work well together
and produce excellent work, we
deliver value sooner
Respect
As we work together, sharing success
and failure, we respect each other,
our agreements and commitments
Courage
As we work together and feel
supported, we are courageous to
be open and challenge ourselves
to go beyond our capabilities.

7. Collaboration Benefits

8. But……
• Still we see waterfall in scrum
• Developer struggles to meet deadline
• BDUF eat most of time so producing poor code
• Poor metrics kills developers at the end
• Testers don't get enough time to test
• Testers busy in logging new defects but not in
closing
• Scope changes within Sprint
• Requirement is ambiguous
• Whole team suffers on the name of agile

9. Collective Ownership of Delivery
Engineering Practices like TDD, BDD, Pair Programming,
CI/CD, Agile Testing and DevOps etc.

10. Processes Vs Values
Business Failure
Useless Stuff
Business Success
Technical Debts
Technical Practices
Building it Right
Building Right Things

11. Behavior Driven Development
• Remove ambiguity from requirement
• Test First Approach /Executable Specification
• Test Automation
• Living Documents
• Bonus – Splitting complex feature in smaller deliverables
Collaboration between
Product Owner and
Development Team

12. Behavior Driven Development
Gherkin
Given “James” want to upload new prescription
When “James” selected “DoctorVisit.jpeg”
And Click on “Record” prescription
Then Prescription should get saved with success message
And Prescription should be available on search page

15. Test Driven Development
Write Test
Write CodeRefactor Code
Objective
• Help to stay
focus
• Safer refactoring
• Fewer bugs
• Emergent
• Cleaner code

16. Unit Test vs TDD
• Is writing code first is also TDD?
• What are key differences between Code First Vs Test First?
• When we write code before test?
• How to write TDD for legacy code?
• When Write Test First then how to ensure we have enough test?
• What is Right-BICEP
• B – Boundary Condition
• I – Inverse Check
• C – Cross Check
• E – Error Condition
• P – Performance Check

17. Pair Programming
Objective
• Shared
understanding
• Collective code
ownership
• Continuous
Review and
Feedback
• Faster Learning

18. DevOps - Collaboration Between Dev & OPS

19. DevOps – Amplifying Feedback Loop

20. Continuous Integration
• Get early feedback
about your change
• Keep your code
always clean
• Work on mainline
• Continuous Code
Review

21. Continuous Parallel Testing
• Is it possible? Really? How?
• What about building
framework using tools like
Cucumber and Selenium
• How about testers add
scenarios in parallel to
coding?
• How about developer and
tester pair continuously?
• How about avoiding defect
logging as long as
possible?
• How about not to start
working on new PBI
without closing previous
one
