Hey, It's A Start! Week 1

My prompt for this week: Write a journal entry that addresses your expectations for this class

Where to start... This is the start (obviously) of both this blog and my senior project. I have chosen the name "The Lonely Scrum" because I am the only person in my cohort at school, as well as department at work that has any interest in looking at Scrum as a project management tool. In the case of my work, I am very likely the only one who knows Scrum exists (short of my boss who I have talked directly to about it).

I hope to spend this quarter researching and studying with the hopes of getting my Professional Scrum Master (PSM) or Certified Scrum Master (CSM) certification. With it I would like to also explore how scrum could be used in more of a production / manufacturing environment. As Scrum is usually used in a software development capacity, it should be interesting to see how it can be applied to a physical product.

Wish me luck!

How am I going to implement my project? Well getting my scrum certification is going to be just the start of the implementation of its practices. Where the real challenge is going to be is using scrum in the workplace. Traditionally Scrum is used by software development teams. Where I work, most of our product lines are part of a depot environment and a lot of the processes are based upon not knowing the reason the unit is not working correctly. This leads to stratification of production lines. And while the type of work if similar, there could be hundreds of different units being worked at one time all with their own process and procedure. There are use cases where Scrum is used in manufacturing plants and I can see how it can be implemented there easier than in a repair facility. One of the hurdles is, that five of the same units may be broken in five different ways. How do you break that out? can you scrum the process? the execution? What do teams look like in that sense? Would ...
