During the last few weeks, since the beginning of the production of our game Omibozu, me and my team really have tried our best to use the Scrum methodology.
It was of course something new to us, and it definitely forced us to change the way we approached the work we had to do.
It wasn’t a simple think to set up: during the first few weeks, I feel like it has been a bit rough to really understand the […]

How scrum has affected our development

For this week’s blog post we have been instructed to write about Scrum and how it has affected our team’s project development. Overall I feel that working with scrum has managed to improve our team’s development. Sitting down and creating a project backlog has helped us with being a bit more organized when it comes to planning what work we are going to do for the week. Also having a document where you can see all of the work you […]

Working with scrum – Has it been beneficial?

For the duration of the project, we as students were asked to work and apply the scrum framework to improve our workflow and thus the quality of our final product. In our case, the framework consists of weekly sprints in combination with daily stand-up meetings in person. Furthermore and in comparison to previous projects, we are working with a product backlog to keep sight on all the assets and artifacts that are needed for our current project.  In this blog […]

3rd post – Working with scrum

In this week’s blog, I am going to write about scrum. It is an agile framework which is used in project management. It encourages adaption, teamwork, self-organization and customer collaboration. Scrum has timebox, which is called sprint, and it can be from 1 to 4 weeks long. All team members can choose assets to work on and at the end of the sprint they have to deliver a feature. This was the first time for our team to work with […]

How has scrum affected our development? – August Demirsson

In this blog, I am going to discuss how Scrum has affected my groups development for our game.
In my opinion scrum has definitely helped to clarify each and everyone’s role and what each person should work on, on a given day. It makes the progress a lot clearer and everyone knows what they are supposed to do. It basically makes the entire game development a lot more structured with scrum than it would be without it.
Weekly planning: This might be […]

Scrum – Has it helped?

The idea behind Scrum is to be more responsive to change. It encompasses an incremental structure to the project, where you work in smaller work cycles and develop a working solution continuously. As such, the main concepts within Scrum that we use are the sprints and the product backlog. The sprint planning and sprint review has worked well most of the time. The sprint review was missed once due to my being out of town, but was solved by filling […]

The iterative and incremental development — Scrum

At the very beginning of the course Game Design 2: Game Development, we chose a game concept document, and then in the next ten weeks, we were going to develop this concept into a real game. In the process, we were taught a framework called scrum to help us to manage product development.
What is scrum? I was really confused when I first learned about scrum, but when our group actually applied scrum to developing, I understood how it worked. […]

Scrum for making Boaty

 
 


Scrum is an agile framework for teams to break down their work into tasks that is supposed to be completed within a time period called sprints.  Seeing the progress and making daily meetings called daily scrums.
In ouroboros we have one-week sprint planning, we have made a backlog to keep track on what are supposed to do for Alpha, Beta and Gold. We do sprint planning on Mondays and review on Fridays where we figure out how many […]

Blog post 3: Scrum

Hello there.
This week I am going to talk about how scrum has affected the project of creating the game “Depth”. As the project manager of the team, this has been immensely helpful. Reasons for this is that it helps with communication, since everyone knows what everyone is doing, has done and will do for the rest of the week/sprint. This way, I can have an easier time to analyze how I can help with problems that the team have and […]

Scrum

This week we have been tasked to talk about scrum and how it has affected our development. In other words, how has the scrum method worked compared to other methods of developing a product as a team? Well, the answer to that question is “In relation to what?”. I have never followed any method other than that of a basic schedule, and most group projects I’ve worked on has lasted only one week – the exception being a project lasting […]

Scrum and user stories, user stories and scrum.

How did working with scrum affect our development?
Well, it’s been neat. Every Monday we meet at roughly 10:00, unless there is a class, for our sprint planning. Everyone participates in picking out tasks and filling in the form. By the end of the meeting we have a clear understanding about what’s happening and who’s doing what. The meeting is also a perfect opportunity for us to communicate to each other about shortcomings and if we need help with anything. By […]

Week #3 – Scrumy Scrum Scrum

Scrum.
Scrum.
Scruuuuuhhhhmmmmmm.
Scrum has been an interesting innovation to the group currently known as Archon. It was a hard process to get started, but now with some time and effort I feel as though we are living by the rules & recommendations of the system. As for affecting our development I can’t say for certain whether it has been positive or negative affect on the development, but I can say that it has helped our process quite a bit!

I feel like the […]
