Your extensive guide to writing Features. Real-life examples included.
Every feature description must show the business value it will bring and what are the criteria to consider the feature done.
What is a feature in Agile methodologies?
In Agile methodologies, the features represent a chunk of functionality that delivers considerable business value and fulfills a stakeholder need. Features are a collection of user stories.
“A Feature is a service that fulfills a stakeholder need. Each feature includes a benefit hypothesis and acceptance criteria.” source: © Scaled Agile, Inc. https://www.scaledagileframework.com/features-and-capabilities/
Who writes the Features in Scrum?
The Scrum Guide doesn’t provide any reference to Features. As the products became more and more complex and more and more teams adopt Agile methodologies, there are indications of who defines the Features.
In the Scaled Agile Framework, the Product Manager owns the Features. That doesn’t mean that…
101 Scope Management
Learn how to do scope management in remote environments: structure, update, track
One of the main things you need to get to grips with when working remotely compared to onsite is being much more detailed than you ever were previously. You can leave no room for reading between the lines, or just assume that someone will get what you mean by what is implied. You need to have everything nailed down and written to the last letter. You cannot expect someone to act on something that has not been precisely defined. Writing everything down is the only way to ensure everything can be tracked at any given time towards completion.
Step 1: Get rid of the enormous master scope.

Leadership tips
Learn how to succeed as a technology leader after 2020
Once upon a time, there was a manager — Mike. Mike has excellent technical and business understanding. He knows very well his team, what to do, how to define tasks, and how to split the work. He’s the most senior person in the room, and everyone listens to him.
Here comes me, the person who’s been coaching teams to achieve impossible project objectives for more than ten years. I worked with many managers and teams worldwide, and I’ve seen a lot of leadership styles.

Comme l’agilité est de plus en plus populaire, de nombreuses équipes de non-développement se demandent ce que l’on peut essayer. Cet article vous guidera pas à pas dans vos premiers pas.
Une des erreurs que je vois souvent commettre les équipes est de supposer qu’elles doivent commencer par Scrum et les sprints.

Mais le véritable pouvoir de la méthode Agile est de repenser le monde du travail de manière à…

Definición de Terminado En Ágil
Definición de Done(DOD) en Scrum — Aprende a usarlo correctamente con ejemplos de la vida real de user stories Scrum
En el Desarrollo Ágil de Software, usamos la Definición de Historias de Usuario de Done(DOD) o la Definición de Terminado para user stories para asegurar la calidad del trabajo y para evaluar si el equipo finaliza una user story o no. Si se respeta, la Definición de Hecho (DOD) en Scrum mantiene al equipo de desarrollo libre de la deuda técnica.
¿Por qué en el Desarrollo Ágil de Software es esencial no acumular deuda técnica?
La Deuda Técnica significa trabajo adicional causado por la implementación de soluciones limitadas y temporales o trabajo incompleto. También cuento como deuda técnica:
- código no desplegado hasta el ambiente que lo pone a disposición de los usuarios,
- funcionalidades desarrolladas…

Aprende qué herramientas, métricas y estructura usar para una retrospectiva Agile a distancia
¿Qué es la retrospectiva en Agile?
En Scrum, tenemos momentos precisos de planificación, revisión del progreso y aprendizaje y mejora. La retrospectiva permite al equipo de Scrum mirar hacia atrás en el sprint que pasó y ver qué fue bien para seguir haciéndolo, qué no funcionó, para parar, y nuevas cosas que debemos intentar. La Sprint Retrospective es un momento íntimo de honestidad cuando crecemos como equipo.
¿Quién participa?
La retrospectiva es el evento SOLAMENTE para el equipo Scrum. La dirección y nadie fuera del equipo Scrum debe participar. La razón principal es porque el equipo Scrum quiera y pueda discutir todos esos temas sensibles abiertamente y que…

As agile is getting more and more popular, many non-development teams want to give it a try. This article will guide you step by step how to get started.
One of the mistakes I often see teams doing is assuming they need to start with Scrum and sprints.
