Disadvantages: Team will not feel free to talk about issues. Advantages: Project management and management like to know what is going on. How should this be done? Getting conflicting reports here... ...
Question marked as community wiki for an obvious reason. My colleagues are betting big on Scrum, they are super-excited about it. However, when doing day-to-day programming the priority is often to "get it done" over "try to do it right the first time". Of course, time-to-market matters, but then having to hire an army of tech support a...
Hi, We've currently got all our User Stories and Tasks in Thoughtworks Mingle, but what to move them into TFS 2010 which we're be using with Scrum For Team System. Has anyone had any experience doing this? If so, how did you go about doing it? Were there any gotchas along the way? Thanks, John ...
I'm currently giving a try to the new Visual Studio Scrum template and I'm looking for a the best approach and tools to enhanced product backlog management and tracking work progression. Any suggestions? Steven ...
The more clients I visit, the more bad implementations of Agile Scrum I see. Sometimes I just hope I am misunderstanding the fundamentals of Agile, but the more I read the clearer picture I have developed on what Agile really is, versus how it gets implemented. I am looking for comics/articles that help explain why SCRUM goes bad, or t...
Does it map to an application 1-1? ...
We are a small team of 5 people (Product Owner, Product Owner Assistant, and 3 Developers) and I am currently moving us to become an Agile team using scrum to manage the project. I have been reading Agile Project Management with scrum, the help documentation for Rally, and various blogs to try and bring myself up to speed on Agile softwa...

I like to use Hansoft to manage software development but my team uses Mac, Win and Linux computers. Are there any Hansoft equivalent tools out there. I love Hansoft as it supports agile and waterfall methodology. Also, we can manage docs and bugs. Thank you. ...
So we have varying opinions on how to deal with our source in regard to parallel Scrum teams sprints. The background info is we have two 7 man teams working on the same baseline of code in 2 week iterations towards the same product release. Team A: In one camp we have the preferred approach being: Each team work in its own branch and at...
Hey, In Scrum, it is obvious that we could produce a demo after each sprint. I don't know how to produce demos in Kanban since it doesn't has the sprint concept (I may be wrong). Would you please enlighten me regarding how to make releases in Kanban? Thanks for help and time. ...
Hey, I know this question is silly but I just want to make sure. Does each iteration (the end of each sprint) in Scrum equivalents a tag under -say- Subversion? Thanks for help and time. ...
Hi, I'm looking for some background on this template (need a citation for a report). Who was the person who came with the well known template? “As a [user], I want [function], so that [value]” I've been looking for the answer but no one gives a proper citation. ...
My question concerns transitioning from an outside development team to an internal team. Right now we have an outside dev team composed of three devs. They handle all aspects of the development process.We would be transitioning to an internal team of two. What are typically the steps in transitioning between development teams. Is there...

Hi Guys, I've just installed TFS 2010, and would like to use TFS in the most Agile way. I've seen http://scrumforteamsystem.com, are they're any other good templates you can suggest? Cheers, Ash. ...
I lead a team of six programmers, and we are presently implementing a number of agile development practices. I'm very interested in Scrum, however it seems to assume that your project will have multiple developers. Most of my projects are smaller, and involve a single developer. We run 3 or 4 such projects in parrallel at any time. From...
In Scrum and/or other Agile methods how do you handle versions of requirements simply? I assume that there are plenty of organisations who are Agile but also need to keep a track of requirement changes for regulatory purposes and so on. You may have a requirement in version 1 which is substantially altered in version 8. How do you track...
Our roles are not purely product development. We also provide '1st-line support' for internal & external customers, and any of these tasks, by their very nature, will always override any product development priorities. How can we use SCRUM's sprints to help us manage product-development and support issues? ...
We have appointed a new team lead who will be starting in the next few weeks. He has previously worked with TFS and is likely to want to use that for CI. The team is new to continuous integration so will take any advice he gives. Is there any reason to choose another system like CruiseControl or TeamCity, or are the features quite simila...
