Seven Deadly Sins of Scrum
Fran O'Hara
Inspire Quality Services
In the webinar, Fran will explore what the seven sins of Scrum are and how to avoid them.
The intent of Scrum is to deliver potentially releasable software every Sprint. However, in practice I continue to see many implementations of Scrum that struggle to deliver value early and often. Inappropriate interpretation and implementation of the roles, events and artifacts of Scrum often undermine the ability to utilise effective testing practices and deliver the required level of quality.
This presentation highlights the most common pitfalls observed in practice using Scrum that affect quality and test. It provides insights into why they occur, warning signs to look out for and then suggests how they can be addressed.
