HCD Team


Daily Stand-Up 
Foundation 
  • Timebox: 15 mins daily
  • Purpose: Daily checkpoint to synchronize and collaborate on achieving the Iteration Goals.
  • Attendees: Agile Team members, SM, PO
  • Facilitator: SM
  • Preparation: Updated work management tool or team board

Meeting's flow

Each Agile team member answer the questions:

  1. What did I do yesterday to advance the Iteration Goals?
  2. What will I do today to advance the Iteration Goals?
  3. Are there any impediments that will prevent the team from meeting the Iteration Goals?

Recommended practices
  •  Team member collaborates and synchronizes their work around the board 
  •  Alignment across the work until the next business day is created
  •  Risks/impediments blocking the team are surfaced
  •  Potential impacts on cross-depending teams or work items are discussed
  •  Stories/enablers are moved to "Done" when they pass the DoD 
  •  Sprint Burndown is shown to assess the progress toward the completion of the sprint goal & commitment
  •  16th minutes topics or follow up actions are agreed

Notes from HCD Observations

DSU on  

  • Attendees: Rob Fay, Meaghan Hudak, Chelsea Brigg, Howard Montgomery, Amy Castellani. 
  • Status report from the team 
  • Several times Scrum Master was interrupted not being empowered for SM to play the role of Scrum Master
  • Scrum Master shared (16min) parking lot for further discussions
  • Great conversations about community and HCD and how they can plug into other areas. Artifacts and knowledge sharing, personas development
  • The parking lot turned into a sharing knowledge session where Chelsea shared the functionality of a new tool with HCD team 
  • No discussion about sprint goals
  • Metrics were not shared, burn down or progress toward meeting the sprint commitment
  • Dependencies or blockers seemed a bit unclear. 
  • The waiting column on kanban board doesn't appear to have WIP limits making it difficult to assess blockers or impediments.
