Group Project Phase
We’re about to have a ton of projects happening all at once, so a big unified scrum meeting has become unwieldy. We also want to help everyone get basic training in Project Management and not have it all fall on the shoulders of one person. For these reasons, students in a project group will do a round-robin Scrum Leader, who will run a Project Scrum Meeting (in 15 min or less!) prior to The Scrum of Scrums meeting at a time that works for your group. Only the Scrum Leader from your group will attend The Scrum of Scrums at 10:30 Pacific, to give a brief project update & have the opportunity to raise any needs the group might have (if you need help from faculty or mentors this is the place to get time on their calendars to resolve blockers). This is the primary area where cross-pollination between projects will occur, and in lecture/lab time.
Personal Project Phase
You’ll attend the Scrum-of-Scrums at 10:30 Pacific, and be your own Scrum Leader. This will help you to get some practice participating in Scrums before you have to be the Scrum Leader for your group.
Onboarding Phase
Liz or Staff will still check in with people doing Onboarding who are in the pre-project phase just after Job Search Standup, at 10:15 Pacific. After you’ve onboarded, you’ll begin to attend the scrum-of-scrums and listen, to get an idea of how projects progress and what other people are working on.
After the Scrum-of-Scrums you’ll briefly break out into groups and get on each others’ calendars for pairing and help. We’re still working on the exact timings, so stay alert for announcements around fine-tuning on the schedule.
As of 1/10 I’m moving Lecture/Lab times up to 11am Pacific / 2 Eastern to accommodate getting to check-in with onboarding folks.
