How Will Scrum Work for Us?

Devcon 0 · 24 Nov 2014 · 33:42

Sven Ehlert, three weeks into the Ethereum team, introduces agile software development and Scrum at Devcon 0 in Berlin and explains how the framework could help deliver a project as large as Ethereum. He contrasts the waterfall model with the Agile Manifesto, then walks through user stories, the product backlog, two to three week sprints, daily stand-ups and the roles of product owner and Scrum master. His case is that big projects fail through size and complexity, so teams should ship small working increments, keep feedback loops with stakeholders short, and answer unneeded features with YAGNI: you ain't gonna need it.
