Embouteillages, cohues : sages comme des fourmis

Une foule est-elle aussi subtile qu'une colonie d'insectes ? L'éthologue Guy Theraulaz compare l'intelligence collective de l'homme et l'animal.

Mickael Ruau's insight:

On est revenu, en tout cas, de la thèse que développait Gustave Le Bon dans sa Psychologie des foules, l'idée d'un groupe où les individus viennent se fondre en abdiquant toute rationalité ?

 
 

En effet ! L'anthropologue Francis Galton parlait, tout au contraire, d'une « sagesse des foules ». Il l'observait à son époque, le début du XXe siècle, dans des foires où l'on demandait à un groupe d'estimer le poids d'un bœuf : l'estimation collective résultant de l'agrégation des estimations individuelles était étonnamment proche du poids réel. Mais la foule est encore bien plus complexe qu'il ne semble. Il existe en effet une grande diversité dans la sensibilité des sujets qui la composent à l'information sociale. On a pu identifier cinq principaux profils de réponse : un individu peut suivre l'opinion du groupe, l'amplifier, la contredire, faire un compromis entre l'opinion du groupe et la sienne, ou conserver sa propre opinion. Et ces cinq types de réactions se retrouvent en proportions similaires où qu'on les étudie, en France et au Japon par exemple. Il est tout à fait possible d'en tirer des modèles mathématiques qui permettent de prédire la réaction d'un groupe. On a pu notamment montrer que l'échange d'information sociale entre des individus d'un groupe permet d'accroître collectivement leur performance et la précision de leurs estimations.

Sprint Planning

Rocket to Mars : Un jeu de planification de sprint

Rocket to Mars : Un jeu de planification de sprint | Devops for Growth | Scoop.it
D'après Damien Thouvenin et Pierrick Revol “Beaucoup d'équipes et leurs product owner pensent que l'unique travail de l'équipe consiste à délivrer de plus en plus de points de story, nous considérons que c'est une totale incompréhension de la relation entre l'équipe et son product owner".
Mickael Ruau's insight:

D'après Damien Thouvenin et Pierrick Revol “Beaucoup d'équipes et leurs product owner pensent que l'unique travail de l'équipe consiste à délivrer de plus en plus de points de story, nous considérons que c'est une totale incompréhension de la relation entre l'équipe et son product owner". A la conférence 2013 des XP Days Benelux, Damien et Pierrick ont animé un jeu de planification de sprint à destination des équipes et des product owners pour leur apprendre comment investir leur temps à produire des stories, traiter les problèmes, réduire la dette technique ou faire de la formation.

Rocket to Mars (v2) est un jeu de rôle collaboratif à destination des Scrum product owners, leurs managers et les équipes avec lesquelles ils travaillent pour apprendre les pratiques de planification agiles et lean. C'est un jeu de société joué par des équipes qui peuvent choisir et adapter leur stratégie afin de construire une fusée pour la prochaine mission vers Mars. Dans le jeu, ils prennent la décision de partir dans une analyse en profondeur ou de commencer à coder, de développer une expertise ou des compétences généralistes, de refactoriser ou de terminer les user stories pour accumuler le plus de points de story. Le but du jeu est de marquer le plus de points en 8 itérations. Les points sont marqués en terminant les user stories mais les points sont déduits lorsque l'on accumule de la dette technique. Ce jeu est le successeur du jeu Objectif Mars.

You Can’t Be Effective With Scrum Without a Sprint Goal | by Willem-Jan Ageling | Serious Scrum

You Can’t Be Effective With Scrum Without a Sprint Goal | by Willem-Jan Ageling | Serious Scrum | Devops for Growth | Scoop.it

Many people, including well-respected Scrum experts, believe the Sprint Goal is optional in Scrum. They argue that a Scrum Team can select a set of items from the Product Backlog and create a plan to complete them without a Sprint Goal.

I disagree wholeheartedly.

Splitting your team reduces planning time

Splitting your team reduces planning time | Devops for Growth | Scoop.it
Dark, small, crowded room in a corporate office. All windows shut closed with worldproof blinds. The only source of light is a projector splitting the room in two uneven halves.
Mickael Ruau's insight:

 

How can I integrate planning often?

I know three ways - all of them reduce planning time by at least half the time: 

  • Central board - you can have a central planning board, where all Product Backlog Items are placed. When a sub-group takes one to work on it, nobody else can, so work is not duplicated. After it has been planned, the item is returned to the board, arranged accordingly and another one is taken to be planned.

  • Iterative integration - you integrate your work every (for example) 15 minutes. You organize what you have done until now, and proceed planning in sub-groups for another 15 minutes.

  • 1-2-4-all - divide work to be planned among everybody individually. Then plan individually. Merge people into pairs and merge their work. Then merge pairs into fours and finally merge everybody's work.

How to Run a Sprint Planning Meeting like an Expert?

How to Run a Sprint Planning Meeting like an Expert? | Devops for Growth | Scoop.it

 

The product owner can help to clarify the selected backlog items and make trade-offs.

I mentioned earlier this notion of selecting coherent items and this ties nicely with the SCRUM Goal.

During the sprint planning, the scrum team also crafts a sprint goal.

The sprint goal is the objective that will be met within the Sprint through the implementation of the Product Backlog, and it provides guidance to the development team on why it is building the increment.

Excellent… We have our Sprint Goal and we have our selected Items which is our Sprint Backlog… Or do we? We’re only halfway there…

So, we selected some items from the product backlog, and we established the sprint goal and in any sprint planning session that I have been involved in that has been the end of the story. The team will be headed to the nearest coffee machine.

 

But… I have not hit the bull’s eye yet…

Planning Sprint has not one but two parts to it.

Topic One: What can be done in this Sprint?

Topic Two: How to go on aout getting things done?

Sprint Planning gives the team

Motivation
A destination or goal which makes their journey worthwhile
An opportunity to be included in the decision making



An effective planning needs the right ingredients to start with and needs a lot of preparation:

Product Backlog – A prioritized, refined and well maintained backlog with tasks broken down into workable modules.
Velocity – Calculated based on the team’s velocity for last three sprints.
Current status of the product
Business Constraints



The meeting is the next part which basically has to answer two questions:

What? – This is where product owner communicates the requirements in detail to the scrum team.
How? – The team discusses how they are going to deliver it.
Mickael Ruau's insight:

 

Some Do’s & Don’ts for Sprint Planning:

  1. PO has to trust the team & maintain a motivated environment.
  2. Scrum master must ensure participation of all members.
  3. PO should not be making all the decisions, everyone should contribute.
  4. There has to be a consensus on the method of estimation and work breakdown i.e. planning poker or story points.
  5. PO, SM, developers, testers, DBA – anyone who is part of the development team should be there. Stakeholders can attend only in an observatory capacity and cannot interrupt.
  6. It should have a set starting time.
  7. Length of the meeting depends on length of the sprint. As a general guideline:
    • One-week sprint – 2 hours
    • Two-week sprint – 4 hours
    • One-month sprint – 8 hours

    It is a time boxed meeting. End it on time. It is OK to not know all the details it promotes agility.

  8. Establish the “Definition of Done”.
  9. Define a high level agenda & structure of the meeting. For example: PO speaks first, team discusses the items together, Q&A with PO, sprint backlog refined, retrospective & meeting close.
  10. Keep the focus on the goal and define a succinct Sprint backlog. Allow your sprint backlog to evolve and refine itself during the sprint.

If we just understand why Agile was brought into picture, what problems need to be solved, map those to our current scenarios and plan accordingly, we should be able to achieve our goals in an agile manner.
