Talk
Intermediate
I would like to bring some acronyms from the agile world which reveals a lot of implicit meaning to the practitioners. For instance SCRUM - Self Committed Resource Unified Model, as the name indicates. The ideas is to reveal all the aspects of the agile and scrum in acronyms fashion so that everyone can understand the concept easily and may be helpful in implementing the same.

Scrum and Human Body - An Analogy
20 Mins
Experience Report
Intermediate
I would like to take an analogy of comparing the Scrum Framework with a human body. The human body consists of cells, tissues, organs and the human body system relies on collaboration and coordination of all the parts of the human being in self-organization way to keep the body healthy and functioning. Similarly in scrum framework, the roles, events, artifacts and rules together work like a human body to keep the scrum sustain and work for not only to it but to everyone.
Human body cells employ iterative and incremental approach. They divide and multiply. That allows the body to grow and to replace damaged or worn cells. Similarly, in iterative and incremental manner, Scrum helps to build more valuable products over a period of time.
Empiricism is like the sensory experience which helps in the formation of ideas and making decisions. Also the introspection at regular intervals and taking corrective actions to improve as an individual is similar to the empiricism. Three pillars for the individual’s existence are Body, Mind, and Spirit. Balancing is the key to create an extraordinary life.
Similarly, Transparency, Inspection and Adaptation are the three pillars to sustain the Scrum framework. Also the principles of shared visual work space, self-organization and empirical process which make a scrum team successful.
Similarly i will be providing a view on all the scrum essentials analogy

In the current economic conditions many organizations strive to continue the trend towards
adopting agile processes to get the benefits like quicker return on investment, better
software quality, and higher customer satisfaction. The survival of the company itself
becomes dependent of the time-to-market, deliver on time to the customer and minimize
costs. As a result, many organizations are now aspiring to adopt agile practices. In this
process, agile testing became a big challenge and the reasons are many which include
mindset of the stakeholders, level of the documentation at the beginning, process setup,
continuous integration set up, metrics, accepting criteria, developers to tester ratio and the
tracking of the test life cycle. Here I am highlighting the major challenges, root causes,
solutions and best practices to be a successful agile tester which essentially leads to benefits
of agile scrum testing. Also there is a focus on agile scrum metrics which are vital in
measuring the agile testing performance.

in the current economic conditions many organizations strive to continue the trend towards adopting
agile processes to get the benefits like quicker return on investment, better software quality, and higher customer
satisfaction. Since the beginning of the current world financial crisis many technology-driven companies have
suffered the effects, being forced to lay off people or drastically diminish costs (Wauter, 2009). The survival of the
company itself becomes dependant of the time-to-market, deliver on time to the customer and minimize costs. As a
result, many organizations are now aspiring to adopt agile practices. In this process, agile testing became a big
challenge and the reasons are many which include mindset of the stakeholders, level of the documentation at the
