Self-organizing Teams

The best architectures, requirements, and designs emerge from self-organizing teams

• Commit to a common purpose

• Team responsibility

• Defining how to work

• Team sits close to the work

• Short cycles

Tight Grip or Let Go?

Excercise Trust

Scrum Framework

• To be filled in later

Transparancy resources

• Product backlog

• Definition of done

• Definition of ready

• Definition of shippable

• Sprint backlog

• Daily stand-ups

• Burndown charts

• Taskboards

• Sprint review

• Testing in control?!

Test Documentation

• Mastertestplan

• Testplan

• Progress, risk and end report

• Report detail intake

• Testspecification

• Finding report

• Evaluation report

sprint 1

Balancing test documentation

What is enough?

The answer is context dependent, but always ask 2 questions:

• Why: Is this documentation valuable for the business?

• For whom: Is the team better off with this documentation?

What is not documented, must be communicated!

Balancing PRA/test strategy

• Productriskanalysis (PRA) – Joint view of the more or less risky parts and characteristics of a

system

– No risk, no test

• High-level Teststrategy

• When? – Sprint 0

– More detailed with increasing knowledge
