Scrum in the Bootcamp

Scrum is an agile methodology widely used at CI&T to manage software development projects. In this bootcamp, you will have the opportunity to experience Scrum as it is practiced in real CI&T projects.

Scrum Principles at CI&T

At CI&T, Scrum is adapted to meet the specific needs of projects and clients, while remaining true to the fundamental agile values and principles:

  1. Transparency: All aspects of the process are visible and understandable to everyone involved.
  2. Inspection: Regular assessments of progress and artifacts to identify deviations.
  3. Adaptation: Quick adjustments when necessary to optimize the process and the product.

Scrum Roles in the Bootcamp

Tutor Scrum Master (SM)

In the bootcamp, one of your tutors will act as the Scrum Master, responsible for:

  • Facilitating Scrum ceremonies
  • Removing impediments
  • Ensuring the team follows agile practices
  • Promoting continuous improvement
  • Promoting teamwork within the group

Tutor Tech Lead (Tutor Dev)

In the bootcamp, one of your tutors will act as the Tech Lead, responsible for:

  • Leading the technical aspects of the plannings
  • Conducting code reviews and mentoring on best practices
  • Ensuring the team follows the best development process
  • Promoting continuous improvement

Development Team

You and your colleagues form the development team, responsible for:

  • Delivering product increments at the end of each sprint
  • Self-organizing to get the work done
  • Collaborating to achieve the sprint goals
  • Tutors will not be present all the time; collaborating and helping each other constantly will be essential.

Scrum Ceremonies

Sprint Planning

  • Duration: 2 to 4 hours
  • Objective: To plan the work to be performed in the sprint, optionally estimating the backlog in hours or points.
  • Participants: Developers, Tutor SM, and Tutor Tech Lead
  • Outcome: Defined Sprint Backlog

Daily Scrum

  • Duration: 15 minutes
  • Objective: To synchronize activities and create a plan for the next 24 hours.
  • Participants: Developers, Tutor SM, optionally Tutor Tech Lead
  • Structure: Each member answers:
    • What did I do yesterday?
    • What will I do today?
    • Are there any impediments?

Sprint Retrospective

  • Duration: 2 to 4 hours
  • Objective: To inspect the process and create a plan for improvements.
  • Participants: Developers, Tutor SM, and Tutor Tech Lead
  • Outcome: Action plan for improvements

Scrum Artifacts

Sprint Backlog

The set of Product Backlog items selected for the Sprint, plus a plan for delivering them.

Increment

The sum of all Product Backlog items completed during a Sprint, integrated with the value of all previous increments.

Scrum Adaptations in the Bootcamp

Absence of a Product Owner:

In the bootcamp, the demand is already 100% refined and distributed, so a Product Owner is not necessary.

Sprint Reviews

With the absence of a Product Owner, there is no need for a Sprint Review.

During the bootcamp, you will have the opportunity to experience these practices and adaptations, preparing you to work on real projects at CI&T.
