Mapping SCRUM Steps to GitHub Features

Vydáno

 


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.

Bridging the Gap: How AI is Connecting Client Needs and Implementation in Software Agencies

Vydáno
  In the world of software development, one of the most significant challenges is bridging the gap between client needs and the implementation phase. This gap often results from a disconnect between strategic business analysis and the technical execution typically handled by software agencies. These agencies, while brimming with skilled coders, often lack the detailed strategic insights necessary for aligning their work with broader business goals. Enter Artificial Intelligence (AI), a game-changer that is effectively bridging this gap and transforming how software agencies operate. The Current Challenge Software agencies are renowned for their technical prowess, with teams of developers ready to bring any specification to life. However, the process often begins with a client’s broad vision or business problem, which needs to be meticulously translated into detailed specifications that developers can follow. This translation process is where many projects falter, as it requires dee...
