# Agile Implementation Plan

## Scrum
### Roles
#### Product Owner
The product owner is responsible for the requirements definition. The right requirements and their appropriate prioritization is crucial for the success of a project. Therefore it is very important to hire excellent personnell for this role, since it has a high leverage. See [[More Effective Agile by Steve McConnell#Most common Challenges|Most common Challenges with product owners]] for more details.

### Meetings

> [!Tip] Good Meeting Habits
> - Create agendas
> - define deliverables
> - stay on topic
> - start and end on time

#### Sprint Planning
#### Daily Standup
#### Retrospectives
### Work Units
- Stories should be completable within a single sprint:
	- The team should decompose its stories so that no single story consumes more than half the team for half the sprint; most stories should be smaller.
	- The team should aim to complete 6-12 stories per sprint (assuming recommended team size (3-9))

## Current faults discovered
- Excessive schedule pressure --> focus on appearance of progress above actual progress (see [[More Effective Agile by Steve McConnell|More Effective Agile]], page 51)
- authority to make decisions


## Core Culture Values
- Open mistake and learning mentality: includes retrospection after sprints: could I have done more, should I have done less? Is the quality release quality?
- Commitment mentality: every team member is included in the planning and commits personally to what they can reasonably do in the next sprint.

## Risks associated with Scrum at OneSec
- We don't understand scrum well enough to properly implement it. Or to properly coach the entire team how to stick to the rules
- [[Floris]] cannot give away responsibility to the team.
- Not following it a 100% --> do "Scrum, but..."

## What are characteristics of the Software that we need to implement at OneSec?
- we have changing hardware
- safety
- What exactly is the business plan, who are the customers, what is the product?
- Who are the key stakeholders for the product?
