The ideal split would still deliver some business value, so I agree splitting on architectural lines is a last resort, and probably an indication we haven't really applied ourselves. I'm not a huge fan of use cases, but occasionally the skills behind use case analysis might be a way to find valuable splits. For example, we can split the main success scenario from the alternate flows. --mj . .

]]> Comment on Transylvania Java User Group by Gerald http://www.scrumlabs.com/2009/01/transylvania-java-user-group/#comment-794 Gerald Thu, 15 Jan 2009 21:03:39 +0000 http://www.scrumlabs.com/?p=47#comment-794 Multumesc - Thank you :-) I was very surprised at the turnout - 95 people on the first day and 85 on the second. I was expecting a small group and it turned out to be rather large with guys from many different companies with offices in Cluj. Lots of international companies were represented from all types of skill sets. It seems to have gone down very well. Thanks to the JUG and Gabi P for inviting me, taking me along and basically making my life very easy! I also got to practice some Romanian! And also thanks to Oana C and the guys at www.Betfair.com -who sponsored the event - the hotel where the presentation took place, food etc! Next month I will be back in Cluj and have been invited to see the the next speaker - as it too will be an interesting topic! Next time - apparently - I am going skiing one evening - by floodlight!

But I disagree that the SM should update the burn-down chart. I believe the team should do it. The team must keep track of their progress and do the self-management. When the SM updates the burn-down chart by himself sometimes the team wont pay attention and won't see its value. Good post. But I disagree that the SM should update the burn-down chart.
