Abstracts

Scrum overview

Scrum is an iterative software development methodology focusing on low overhead, customer value and communication. This overview will cover all the major points of the methodology.

Ball Points game

The Ball Point game is an exercise used in Scrum training to illustrate the principles. The objective of the Ball Point game is to get as many balls through the team as possible within two minutes. Each ball must be touched at least once by every team member and must end with the same person with whom it began. After two minutes the team is allowed an additional minute to discuss the process and how it could be improved.
