The process of scrum can be compared to the process of obtaining six-pack abs. Just like a personal trainer can benefit an individual seeking physical improvement, a ScrumMaster can provide invaluable benefit to a development team seeking process improvement.<\/p>\n

How to get physical abs<\/strong><\/p>\n

Eat fewer calories than you burn each day by carefully\u00a0planning<\/em><\/span> the amount of calories you will eat each day and how many you will\u00a0burn<\/em>.<\/span> You will not be able to absolutely calculate how many\u00a0points<\/em><\/span> of calories you will eat or burn each day or\u00a0iteration<\/em><\/span>, so you will have to\u00a0estimate<\/em><\/span> the amounts based on past velocity of calories burned and eaten. \u00a0Once you have a plan of diet and\u00a0exercise\u00a0effort<\/em><\/span> you must stick to the plan and measure your progress each 1 or 2 week or 4 week\u00a0iteration<\/em><\/span>. \u00a0It is often useful to hire a personal trainer to help you stick to the diet and exercise program you have\u00a0committed<\/em><\/span> to.<\/p>\n

How to fail at getting physical abs<\/strong><\/p>\n

You may notice I purposely used Scrum words in the description above on how to get abs. \u00a0I want to draw a simple parallel here between Scrum and a diet. \u00a0(When I use diet I’ll refer to what you eat and to exercise.) \u00a0How many of us have gone on a diet for the purpose of “losing weight”, “getting in shape”, “getting 6-pack abs”, “being able to see my toes again”, or some other reason? \u00a0Ok, now how many of us have\u00a0failed?\u00a0What was the primary reason you failed? \u00a0Was it because the diet was no good and just didn’t work, or was it because, just like me, just like many others, you didn’t stick to it? \u00a0You said to yourself “ahhh… I am really tired today, don’t feel like going to the gym”, or “yeah, I mean I had such a hard day, I can eat a double fudge sunday just tonight, I’ve been so good the rest of the week.” \u00a0Then that happened every day, because every day was hard, and every day you were tired. \u00a0Sound at all\u00a0familiar? \u00a0Are you really still going to blame the diet? \u00a0Really?<\/p>\n

How to get software abs<\/strong><\/p>\n

One way to get “software abs” is to get a good team of cross functional people together who want to do the right thing. \u00a0Get one of them to be the team’s personal trainer or ScrumMaster. \u00a0Follow the\u00a0Scrum diet<\/a>. \u00a0Measure yourself every iteration and course correct if needed. \u00a0Don’t deviate from the plan.<\/p>\n

Or, to transform the previous metaphor in to Scrum methodology:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Take in slightly less work than the team can complete each sprint by carefully\u00a0planning\u00a0the amount of work the team will commit to each sprint and how much the team will complete. \u00a0The team will not be able to absolutely calculate how many effort points of work the team will do or commit to each sprint or\u00a0iteration, so the team will have to\u00a0estimate\u00a0the amounts based on past velocity of effort points completed. \u00a0Once the team has a committed sprint of effort the team must stick to the plan and measure the team’s progress each 1 or 2 week or 4 week\u00a0iteration. \u00a0It is often useful to hire a ScrumMaster to help the team stick to the sprint and Scrum rules the team has committed\u00a0to.<\/p>\n

How to fail at getting software abs<\/strong><\/p>\n

We can draw a parallel again to the same reasons why we fail to succeed at a physical diet as the reason why we fail to deliver quality software, using the metaphor and format from above:<\/p>\n

How many of us have started on a Scrum process for the purpose of “building higher quality software”, “getting a working system to the users faster”, “building what the customer really wants”, “increasing productivity”, or some other reason? \u00a0Ok, now how many of us have been part of an organization that\u00a0failed?\u00a0Ok, now what was the primary reason the organization failed? \u00a0Was it because Scrum was no good and just didn’t work, or was it because, just like me, just like many others, the organization didn’t stick to it? \u00a0Your organization said to the scrum team “ahhh… I really need to get this work done, we can break the scrum process this sprint”, or “yeah, but this is an exceptional problem, your team can add this one backlog item you didn’t commit to, you need to be agile!” \u00a0Then that happened every sprint, because every sprint had important work come up that wasn’t planned for. \u00a0Sound at all\u00a0familiar? \u00a0Are you really still going to blame Scrum? \u00a0Really? \u00a0Worse yet, are you really going to blame the team? \u00a0Really?<\/p>\n

Tying it all together<\/strong><\/p>\n

My basic point is this. \u00a0If you want to get results from a diet you have to follow it, you can’t make exceptions every day, you can’t go and eat a double hot fudge sunday, just because you had a bad day. \u00a0If you do, you will not see the results that you were looking to get from the diet. \u00a0If you don’t follow the diet you cannot achieve the results you are expecting from it. \u00a0Most people don’t have enough will power to do it on their own, so they hire a personal trainer.<\/p>\n

Question: \u00a0Which personal trainer is better?<\/em><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. One that when you say “yeah I don’t really feel like doing 10 pushups today. \u00a0I’d rather do 9 sit ups”, and he says “ok, you’re the boss you’re the one who is paying me. \u00a0In fact we can do whatever you want today.”<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
  2. \n

    One that when you say “yeah I don’t really feel like doing 10 pushups today. \u00a0I’d rather do 9 sit ups”, and he says “that’s not an option, when you signed up to hire me to be your personal trainer, I committed to give you my best and you committed to give me your best. \u00a0You’re\u00a0paying me to help get you in shape, and I want to help you achieve that goal. \u00a0I’ll help you do the 10 pushups with correct form, or next week we can change your diet plan, but we need to stick to what we committed to this week, so we can achieve those results.”<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Would you really pick #1? \u00a0Would you pick the “yes man?” \u00a0If so you might as well hire anyone off the street to be your “yes man.” \u00a0Most of us would prefer #2. \u00a0Think about why you would pick #2.<\/p>\n

    It’s the same with software development. \u00a0It’s the same with Scrum. \u00a0Is scrum the ultimate software diet? \u00a0No! \u00a0Is Scrum a software diet that will work if you stick to it? \u00a0Yes! \u00a0Will it work if your organization constantly breaks the Scrum rules because of whatever the emergency of the day is? \u00a0No! \u00a0Of course not. \u00a0And if your organization values a ScrumMaster who has the answer “ok, you’re\u00a0the boss you’re\u00a0the one who is paying me. \u00a0In fact we can do whatever you want today,” over a ScrumMaster who teaches, enforces and works within the framework of Scrum, will your organization fail? \u00a0Not necessarily, but you definitely won’t get the results you were hoping for.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
