Estimation is a very important part of scrum. It allows the team to evaluate how much work is needed to finish an item and therefore conclude what can be delivered next sprint. It also helps product owners prioritize their items by taking into consideration the required amount of work. An item that takes too much time to be done usually has a lesser priority than another that can be finished quickly. Estimating the right way is essential in scrum to get the best possible results.

Yeah, i know … The first question that pops into your minds is: Doesn’t people get tired of writing this bla bla over and over again ?!! My Code is perfect and I don’t need no steps to tell me what to do and what not to do … Well , I believe that if our codes where so perfect we wouldn’t spend debugging it , creating break points and buying new keyboards !!

In scrum, only three roles exist: Product owner, Dev team and the scrum master.
While the product owner is responsible for driving the project and the dev team is in charge of realizing it, no one really knows exactly what the scrum master’s role is. Is he the one who animates the daily meetings, the poker plannings and retrospectives ? Or may be he is manager of the dev team?

IT projects have some similarities with industrial ones like budgets, deadlines but also have its differences like its flowness and unpredictable complexity. Many ways exist today to drive this kind of projects, perhaps the most used one is Waterfall methodology. It has been the standard for managing software development projects since it’s creation in the mid 20th century. However, the outcome was very disappointing.

Cleaning up old files is an incredebly annoying operation. It’s time consuming and might result into errors due to repeating the same actions all the time. However, it’s necessary to remove old files in order to keep your folder clear and gain free space on your hard disk.

Since the beginning of time, hierarchy existed almost everywhere from small families to large companies and even in criminal organizations. Wherever you go, there is someone in charge of taking decisions while others simply execute them. It seems like a proper way to instaure order and move forward.
