Mapping SCRUM Steps to GitHub Features

 


Using GitHub, a SCRUM team can effectively manage their entire development cycle. Below is a mapping of the SCRUM steps to GitHub features:

Pre-Sprint Planning

  1. Product Backlog Refinement
    • GitHub Features:
      • Issues: Create and manage Product Backlog items as GitHub Issues.
      • Labels: Use labels to categorize and prioritize issues (e.g., "high priority", "enhancement").
      • Milestones: Group related issues into milestones representing larger features or epic stories.
      • Projects: Use GitHub Projects (kanban boards) to organize issues into columns such as "To Do", "In Progress", and "Done".

Sprint Cycle

  1. Sprint Planning

    • GitHub Features:
      • Issues: Select issues from the Product Backlog for the Sprint.
      • Projects: Move selected issues to the "In Progress" column in the GitHub Project board for the current Sprint.
      • Milestones: Assign issues to the Sprint milestone to track progress and deadlines.
      • Issue Templates: Use issue templates to ensure that each user story or task has the necessary information.
  2. Daily Standup (Daily Scrum)

    • GitHub Features:
      • Projects: Use the GitHub Project board to update the status of tasks.
      • Issues: Comment on issues to provide daily updates on progress and impediments.
      • Discussions: Utilize GitHub Discussions for more detailed conversations about blockers or important topics.
  3. Development Work

    • GitHub Features:
      • Branches: Create branches for each user story or task to manage development work.
      • Pull Requests (PRs): Use PRs to merge completed work back into the main codebase. PRs can be linked to issues for tracking.
      • Actions: Use GitHub Actions for continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) to automate testing and deployment.
  4. Backlog Refinement (Mid-Sprint)

    • GitHub Features:
      • Issues: Review and update issues in the Product Backlog.
      • Labels: Adjust labels to reflect new priorities or clarifications.
      • Projects: Update the Project board as necessary to reflect changes in priorities or task status.

Sprint End

  1. Sprint Review

    • GitHub Features:
      • Pull Requests: Review merged PRs to demonstrate the completed work.
      • Wiki: Document the results of the Sprint and share with stakeholders.
      • Discussions: Use GitHub Discussions to gather feedback from stakeholders.
  2. Sprint Retrospective

    • GitHub Features:
      • Discussions: Create discussion threads for the team to reflect on the Sprint and identify improvements.
      • Issues: Create new issues for actionable improvement items identified during the retrospective.
      • Projects: Use a separate Project board for tracking improvements and actions from retrospectives.

Post-Sprint

  1. Product Backlog Update
    • GitHub Features:
      • Issues: Update and prioritize issues in the Product Backlog based on feedback and new insights.
      • Milestones: Adjust milestones to reflect new priorities and deadlines.
      • Projects: Update the Project board to reflect the current state of the Product Backlog.

Visual Representation of the GitHub SCRUM Workflow

  1. Product Backlog Refinement (Continuous)
    • GitHub Features: Issues, Labels, Milestones, Projects
  2. Sprint Planning (Day 1)
    • GitHub Features: Issues, Projects, Milestones, Issue Templates
  3. Daily Standups (Daily)
    • GitHub Features: Projects, Issues, Discussions
  4. Development Work (Ongoing throughout the Sprint)
    • GitHub Features: Branches, Pull Requests, Actions
  5. Backlog Refinement (As needed)
    • GitHub Features: Issues, Labels, Projects
  6. Sprint Review (End of Sprint)
    • GitHub Features: Pull Requests, Wiki, Discussions
  7. Sprint Retrospective (End of Sprint, post-Review)
    • GitHub Features: Discussions, Issues, Projects
  8. Product Backlog Update (Immediately post-Sprint)
    • GitHub Features: Issues, Milestones, Projects

By utilizing these GitHub features, a SCRUM team can effectively manage their workflow and ensure alignment with SCRUM practices, all within the GitHub ecosystem.
