You don’t want to miss.**~EXCERPT~**“Get in there, you ornery hunk of steaks,” Maddie Rose gritted out through clamped teeth while thrusting all of her weight into pushing the cattle trailer’s rear gate closed.

A hard task since her hundred twenty pounds didn’t hold up against Buford’s two thousand pound bulk. Needless to say, despite all of her shoving and pushing. Despite all of her exertion. Buford’s big, hairy rump hadn’t budged even an inch! Nope, there it was—hanging out over the back end of the trailer. Firmly in the way of the latch.“C’mon, only a few more inches,” she coaxed, pushing, giving it everything she had.

But the bull wasn’t buying it. He didn’t budge.“Arrrg,” she growled, frustration nearly getting the better of her.

This should have been a piece of cake—an easy load- up. Ha! Bull- headed Buford messed that up deciding he wanted off rather than on.

Just Maddie’s luck. And what was new about that?

She’d been fighting for survival since the moment of her existence—a sickly baby only a few weeks old at best estimation, found alone, sitting in a carseat. Yup—just sitting on the steps of the post office like she belonged there. Watch Richard Pryor Live On The Sunset Strip Online Full Movie. Obviously, she didn’t belong anywhere. Maybe before that, but unlike most people Maddie had no recollection, no records, nothing.

But it sure was getting old. Buford’s attitude was a sharp reminder she’d better not get comfortable with the good fortune that had recently come her way. Owner. The thought dazzled her.

Free Scrum Master Training from Seattle. If you are taking anyone's Scrum class, any type of Scrum Master certification test, Agile certification, or you just want to improve your knowledge and dispell popular hype and misconceptions, you'll have a much better time if you also study the Scrum Reference Card, the four values of the Agile Manifesto, and the twelve principles of the Agile Manifesto. Unfortunately I'm also one of the main voices in employee performance appraisals and hiring/firing decisions. I would like to have the benefits of a self- organizing team, but a couple people on the team have told me they'd like me to attend their standup meetings and contribute to technical decisions. Does Scrum prohibit this?

A: My guess is that the benefits of attending outweigh the drawbacks in your case. But instead of prescribing an answer, I'll recommend your Scrum Master use this process to find out: Conduct an anonymous safety check (as described in Module 6: The Sprint Retrospective Meeting) and raise the question with the team.

I'd also consider trying it which ever way you haven't been doing it for one Sprint, as we tend to overestimate what we know beforehand. Q: What should we do if the Scrum Master and Product Owner are the same person? A: As far as I know, the Scrum Police aren't going to break down your door if you do this.

But if those two roles are combined, it would be more honest to use the term . According to Ken Schwaber (who pretty much defined Scrum), the Scrum Master has no authority. The Product Owner has explicit authority. So by definition they're not the same person. Scrum intentionally divides the traditional project manager's responsibilities between the Product Owner and the Team, with the Scrum Master acting as a kind of facilitator. Per Schwaber, . When a team plateaus with one Scrum Master, it may be time to switch to a different one with different skills. Q: How should we pick a Scrum Master?

A: Pick the certified one! No, seriously, ask the team and Product Owner to decide. Revisit the decision again after a while. If you can mark off most of the items in the Example Scrum Master's Checklist, you're doing better than most. Q: Why should I attend Scrum/Agile training instead of just reading books and using these e- learning modules? A: For many people, understanding the e- learning modules, the Scrum Reference Card, and the Agile Manifesto will be sufficient to pass a certification test. If you find a good Scrum trainer, you'll spend most of your class time in interactive team activities going beyond the basic concepts into practical application and case studies.

In practice, there is. A good trainer will check your understanding more thoroughly than these modules can. While some people do get good at doing Scrum and Agile without any training, our participants report training helps them get better at it faster.

Q: Can I obtain Scrum certification online, without physically attending a class? A: The most generally- recognized .

What about large organizations? A: Danube Technologies, Inc. It was relatively easy for us because there weren't a lot of established habits to overcome. While people in large organizations have experienced benefits from Scrum and/or Agile, we haven't seen many large established organizations do great at it on the first try. Add geographic distribution, and the problem is even harder. Sometimes the best we can do is protect one team from the rest of the bureaucracy until that pilot effort demonstrates there may be benefits for others.

It is also possible to have multiple teams using an Agile approach to work on one product. Most coaches who've worked with large organizations attempting Agile have come to prefer feature teams over component teams. Feature teams work on multiple components to deliver features end users can see, rather than mere internal deliverables.

Unfortunately large organizations are traditionally set up like factories, with people organized around architectural components (e. This forces Product Owners to prioritize by internal constraints rather than customer business value. While the feature team approach is more Agile, it presents political and technical challenges. We may need to ask individuals to act as component guardians to protect the architectural integrity of particular components during the transition. I think of a component guardian as kind of a tour guide for a component, showing the feature teams how to use the component while making sure they don't wreck it in the process. Q: I understand the theory of why vertical feature teams are better than component teams, but when we tried this we wound up with lots of duplicated effort, inconsistent user interfaces, and poor design of common components such as platform and database tables.

But you can read about them in the . My favorite Product Owner does find the release burndown chart useful for forecasting - - probably the only legitimate use of velocity. Of course he revises his release forecast every Sprint, letting go of some stuff he originally planned to get newly discovered requirements he comes to realize is a higher priority as it emerges. Q: What do you mean by . Responsibility for the process is shifted from the methodologist to the practitioners. I sometimes think this is an uphill battle due to methodoentropy: the inevitability of methodologists taking over approaches that were once intended to liberate people from methodologists.

Q: What is . It's also a literal game Ken Schwaber taught us for Scrum training. Scrum aims to replace the boss/worker dynamic with a Product Owner to (self- organizing) Team relationship. The Scrum Development Team self organizes to achieve the vision and objectives of the Product Owner, while the Scrum Master creates the environment more conducive to this.

Giving up the illusion of control is often the key to gaining influence. Q: Thanks for all insights in the scrum training class last week. One of our clients actually wound up firing a key architect everyone thought was untouchable because she just wouldn't collaborate - - their only regret was waiting so long to do it. The assumptions behind the big up front design turn out to be wrong as development progresses and we learn more about what is really needed through feedback.

The sunk cost fallacy reduces our willingness to change a design we've spent months on. Scrum is intended to tighten the feedback loops so those mistakes are discovered earlier. But this won't work if every minute of every subsequent Sprint is spent on construction only.

Teams should reconsider their design approaches on a continuous basis. Agile engineering practices such as Test Driven Development (TDD), pair programming, continuous integration, and merciless refactoring can improve our ability to melt down what was there before continuously rather than accumulate layers of paint on top of layers of paint. But our codebase has years of accumulated crud. In fact, we're having trouble hiring developers who are willing to work on it - - it seems programmers who have choices prefer to work on new stuff that isn't already a mess. Should we throw it away and start from scratch? A: While a complete rewrite may be appropriate, most of the times I see companies attempt this it turns out to be several times more effort than they expected. It's possible your best bet is to incrementally clean up what was there every single Sprint along with adding the new capabilities (at a slower rate of course).

Your definition of done should start to include . As your test coverage starts to spider into the legacy system you'll finally reduce the risks of refactoring the parts of it that are causing the most pain. Taking a little time to add tests (incrementally) and replace bad code (incrementally) will feel like going too slow to someone in your organization, but trying to work faster than current skills allowed is what got your organization into this mess in the first place. There is something worse than going !
