Agile Project Management – Part 3

What is Agile?

Another important task for the Scrum Master is to find a suitable area where the team can sit together, preferably an open-plan office. There should be plenty of wall space to display project documentation, such as the Scrum Board, the burn-down charts, the incident log and any other relevant graphs and tables, such as the Release Plan.

Developing Epics

The team is established and work needs to start on the requirements. Firstly, a broad brush approach is used and “epics” are written. These could be regarded as the chapters of the project book. The Scrum Master has an active role in locating and engaging the appropriate stakeholders and setting up and facilitating user story meetings of different types, from one-on-one meetings to user focus groups.

Create Prioritised Product Backlog

While the Product Owner is responsible for the Product backlog and its contents, the Scrum Master’s knowledge is required in coaching the team in the various prioritization techniques that can be used in Scrum, such as MoSCoW and 100-point analysis. The Scrum Master should always be on the lookout for new techniques and should be picking up pointers from retrospectives from other projects as to which techniques worked best.
