Day 20 of 100 Days of Code & Scrum: Fake Agile, Scrum Comics & Free E-Book?

Good day, everyone!

My physical therapy session got rescheduled to today, so I couldn't be as productive. However, I did find this really nice resource for Scrum!

I found these Scrum Comics talking about how pretending to follow Scrum is not going to make a company Agile. It was really an interesting read, and I learned a lot about common mistakes of Product Owner role assignment as well as inefficient structures of larger companies that failed to implement Scrum.

Anyway, moving on to my daily report!

Yesterday

I learned about case scenarios user stories are not suitable for. I also reviewed about what happens when a Sprint is canceled as well as the three pillars of Scrum.

Today

Here are the things I learned and worked on today:

Scrum

I read Why Scrum Isn't Making Your Company Very Agile.
a Product Owner is different from a "Team Output Owner."
a Product Owner should be more like an entrepreneur that is focused on business objectives rather than just one team's objectives.
it is best for businesses to only have one Product Owner for a product so that the PO has authority over the entire Product Backlog.
a single Product Owner also increases the transparency of the Product Backlog and promotes empiricism.
in larger businesses that are not Agile, developer teams are not in touch with clients.
finished my practice flashcards for Scrum (need to switch to another resource).

I wish everyone the best!
