SCRUM - possible to solo?
I've been doing a lot of reading lately regarding development - practices, frameworks, patterns, testing.
It's about time I properly formalised the whole thing; not having had the 'luck' to attend a programming course of any ilk, I've had to go it alone, and mostly down blind alleys.
One thing that has always plagued me is the lack of a formal development methodology. I do use source control and I analyse, plan, prepare and document - its when I get into the nitty-gritty that things tend to go a little haywire.
I've decided that for the upcoming development work I'll be doing (on my own...sniff) I'll try and implement a SCRUM methodology.
Part of this will include working out how to keep the methodology applied. The sprint planning etc. is already in place, mostly, but the daily and milestone SCRUMs could be an issue. I reckon a checklist can be useful to force myself to be objective about what has to be done, what has been done and where the problems lie.
Wrap it all up into some journaling tool and it could be a goer.
It'll be an interesting exercise if nothing else.
Now to Google and see if anyone else has managed it...
