Scrum Templates That Work
Running an effective scrum team requires organization and authority.
But sometimes in the spirit of getting things done, the details of a ritual may be skipped, or a valuable piece of information may get lost in the shuffle.
A scrum master who can't keep track of the critical details that come up in all the rituals, and make use of them across multiple sprints, is at a disadvantage when it comes to helping a team iterate and improve.
Maintaining an accurate and consistent historical record of what happened in each ritual is the best way to support the iterative improvements a team makes with scrum.
But until now, there hasn't been a convenient way to create and maintain these notes for your team.
That's the problem that Scrum Templates That Work can help you solve.
What Are Scrum Templates?
This elegant set of templates and guides for running scrum rituals will give your team a great foundation to iterate on. They offer you the convenience of a clean pre-designed format that covers all the essentials of the key rituals of scrum, with the flexibility to develop your own style and support the way your team uses scrum.
These templates are perfect for getting your new team's rituals started out on the right foot, or offering an experienced team a refreshed perspective on their agile process. They also make it very easy to maintain a historical record that's ready at your fingertips, to reference when needed.
What's Included?
Included in the packet are four essential high-quality PDF templates for the following scrum rituals:
- Daily Standup
- Sprint Planning
- End-of-Sprint Demo
- Sprint Retrospective
Each of the templates prints fully on a sheet of 8.5 x 11 paper, giving you reminders of what to cover during a ritual, and a consistent place to record what happened throughout the sprint.
Also included are friendly guides that explain how to use these templates. That way you'll never feel as if you've left out a critical aspect of a ritual, and you can avoid losing track of valuable information as it surfaces naturally through the scrum process.
Are They Any Good?
