The client's relationship with Myplanet.

Production

Our Production Teams work with

you to groom your product backlog and create the

product in increments known

as Sprints.

Our BizDev Group facilitates initial discussions and

helps you develop your Agile project

charter.

Engagement Support

Our Strategy & Support Group

maintains/supports your product and guides continual improvements.

Product lifecycle.

Sprints

The team will timebox their work into short “Sprints” and deliver viable

product every Sprint. Your

Product Owner will work continuously with you to groom

the Product Backlog

throughout the project.

Our specialists and your new “Product Owner” will work

with you to understand the vision for the project and to establish first

priorities in the “Product Backlog”.

Release

The Product Owner and Team will transition the product to our

Strategy & Support Group for ongoing support, study, and

improvement.

Sprints.

Work Cycles

After the Team makes a

commitment to their “Sprint

Backlog”, the team works in short

cycles with frequent progress meetings (called “Daily Scrums”).

The team knows its velocity and they know how much work they can

commit to finishing each Sprint. They study the items at

the top of the Product Backlog,

split the items into tasks, and begin

their work.

Sprint Plan Demo

At the end of each Sprint, the Team will

demonstrate the results of their work and ask for feedback from stakeholders.

I want to playa game.

Penny game

• The object of the game is to be the fastest team to process your pennies.

• Pennies are processed when they are flipped five times.

• There is a "starter" who can take pennies from the pile and flip them once.

• Once the starter has flipped all the pennies once, they can all be passed on to the next team member, who must also flip all the pennies once. Rinse/repeat.

Penny game

• Now, the starter can pass individual pennies as soon as they are flipped once (they don't all have to be flipped before being passed.)

Penny game

• Now, anyone can take and flip the coins five times themselves.

Scrum

• Scrum is a very simple system

• Five values• Three artifacts, three

ceremonies, three roles
