  1. Neue BMW Webseite – State of the Art.

    Februar 25, 2012 by Tino Seeber

    Na endlich!

    Nach mehr als 1 Jahr Arbeit ist sie fertig – die neue BMW Webseite. Zunächst für den Markt in Österreich wird sie demnächst weltweit “gelauncht”.

    Zusammen mit Boris Gloger habe bei BMW Scrum eingeführt und zu Beginn des Projektes die beiden Team Content & Communication übernommen. Schön zu sehen, dass Kleinigkeiten woran das Team sich tagelang den Kopf zerbrochen hat, nun reibungslos funktionieren. In dieser Zeit habe ich viel gelernt und ich hoffe, das Team auch das ein oder andere von mir.

    In jedem Fall bin ich sehr stolz, dass ein so klasse Produkt dabei herausgekommen ist – das derzeit der automobile Benchmark in Europa ist.

    BMW ist zudem die beste deutsche Marke im globalen Social Media Ranking.

  4. 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

  8. 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.
