How to increase Productivity in a Scrum Team.
Oktober 10, 2010 by Tino Seeber
Increasing the productivity of a Scrum Team is one of the Scrum Master’s top aims.
Here the facts you should consider for increasing a Scrum Team’s productivity:
- Communicate
- Work as a Team
- Work in 2-weeks sprints
- Use small user stories that can be completed in a day or two
- Work on a small number of stories at once
- Product Owner has to write clear user stories and acceptance tests
- Scrum Master has to identify and solve impediments
- Use a strong and clear Level of Done
- Individuals may (should!) cross disciplines to get things done without unpredictable wait times
- Make achievable commitments based on past results

The Marshmallow Challenge.
September 20, 2010 by Tino Seeber
Or: Build a Tower, build a Team.
It’s a team exercise in which the participants have to build a tower using a supply of (dry) spaghetti, tape, string and marshmallow. The goal is build the highest structure possible within 18 minutes.
It turns out that recent Kindergarten grads do better than the average adults. And MBA’s do worse than average adults. But why is that?
The Kids work iterative (like Scrum) and get instant feedback on what they do. They start working on the problem immediately, make several attempts to solve the problem – they iterate. The adults tended to look for the “single right plan” (watererfall) and tended to think about the marshmallow late in the process. They often produced only one actual prototype, just before the deadline – usually to watch it fall down shortly after the marshmallow is attached.

The 14 golden Rules of being a good Scrum Master.
September 16, 2010 by Tino Seeber
There are a lot of books, papers and articles out there, explaining, what Scrum is and what a good Scrum Master should do or shouldn’t do. I read this and based on my experiences as a Scrum Master I put these quintessences together in The 12 golden Rules of being a good Scrum Master:
A good Scrum Master …
1. … implements the scrum process and coaches all roles and stakeholders.
2. … finds and shows up impediments and problems.
3. … is responsible for solving impediments and problems.
4. … is an info hub, who spreads informations to all roles and stakeholders.
5. … is leader of the team.
6. … protects the team from external influences.
7. … motivates the team.
8. … moderates the roles and stakeholders in the scrum process.
9. … comes to a decision in urgent cases.
10. … introduces Scrum into the organization.
11. … is a leader personallity, who has no fear losing his job in changing the status quo.
12. … is responsible for the improvement of team productivity.
13. … shows the team new ways of working and solving problems.
14. … works together withe the Product Owner to maximize ROI.

Scrum Process Template for Team Foundation Server.
September 14, 2010 by Tino Seeber
Brian Harry from Microsoft released a beta of a new Team Foundation Server process template specifically optimized for Scrum projects – Team Foundation Server Scrum v1.0 Beta.
Releasing this template he noticed on his blog:
Over the past couple of years, Scrum has evolved as an extremely popular iterative development process and we’ve been getting feedback that our Agile template feels unnatural for teams trying to do Scrum. For example, it uses different terminology like Iteration rather than Sprint, User Story rather than “Product Backlog item”, etc.
(…)
Our goal has been to make our Scrum template “truly Scrum” so that if you pick up a book on Scrum or take a class on Scrum and then try out the TFS Scrum process template it will all make sense to you and correspond to everything you’ve learned.
