When Scrum meets dynamic resource scheduling, we have Scrum Smart. It is breaking paradigms again for those who broke paradigms with Agile management. It is all about fitting more stories and bug fixes to each Sprint, while gaining great visibility to Business Value, cost management and true workload burn down metrics.

2. Who is in the team?
0 Define who is who.
0 Data can be brought from any system with a tabulated format
(Excel, for example)
0 Any fields may be created (e-mails, ID, phones, etc)
0 Any number of cost per hour definition (standard working
hour, standard hourly expenses), etc.

3. What are their abilities?
0 Abilities may define that BOB plays different roles
0 Abilities may define that many people plays one role

4. What is the job to be done?
0 Define stories, activities, bug-fixes
0 It is possible to apply multiple work
breakdown structures (example:
Activity 1 belongs to Story A that
belongs to Feature 01, or Release 01,
etc)
0 In the example, we are pre-determining
that activities 1 to 13 would be part of
Release 01 and activities 14 to 21 would
be part of Release 02 (you can change
minds at any time)

5. Estimate the work and value
0 Create initial metrics for business
value, priorities, phases
(Sprints/Project Backlog)
0 Priorities use the team´s feeling of
what is the most important stuff
0 Business Value estimates the
expected result to the Product
Owner
0 Duration estimates the effort
(workload) to be applied
0 All that can be usually brought
from any spread sheet already in
use
0 Sprints distribution is a quick draft
of what could go in what moment.
0 If you have monthly Sprints, you are
basically anticipating to what month
goes each set of features, stories, etc.
You can change you mind at any time

6. Apply resources or
abilities to Activities
0 Pick groups of activities and
change the properties to
include a person, a team or
abilities necessary to
perform the job.
0 You may assign Bob or Diana
individually, or select “ability
developer” and give the
software flexibility to pick
the best combination.
0 Any resources may be
applied to one or more
activities, including
necessary use of software,
machinery, etc.
When abilities are chosen, the software
will check costs, preferences, individual
schedule availability, etc.

7. Run the Dynamic
Resource Scheduling
You now have an instant draft of workloads, durations and Sprint Schedule

8. Immediate results with DRS
(Dynamic Resource Scheduling)
The agenda for each participant is fully compatible with their workload

9. Immediate results with DRS
(Dynamic Resource Scheduling)
Instant metric controls, for business value, project burndown, resource
burndown, earned value, trends, costs estimates, and many others.

10. Data export to Excel,
gives you unlimited perspectives

11. Try out changes to “what goes
when” (new Sprint combinations)
Product Owner, Scrum Master and Scrum
Team have an immediate view
of what can change in each Sprint
by adding or removing jobs, including
bugfixes or new features.
Play around moving
stories, tasks and bugs until
you determine the best fit to a chosen
Time-box.

12. You get a perspective
of Value Change to any try-outs
New tasks
in a Sprint…
…Demands
new
priorities
to team members

13. You get a perspective
of Value Change to any try-outs
... And generates
other perspectives
of Business Value
New tasks
in a Sprint…

14. With Dynamic Resource Scheduling, everyone
gets the new sequence on the fly.
And it is so fast to schedule and change agendas, that your team can take
informed new decisions at any day, during any quick meeting, with verified
analysis of impact in changes of priorities or items in any Sprint.

15. That is not just dynamic.
