I do see people come to attend CSM
(Certified Scrum Master) or CSPO (Certified Scrum Product
Owner) training or many organizations ask us to facilitate in-house CSM and CSPO workshops. These 2 workshops are for Scrum Master and Product
Owner and really needed in order to start practicing Scrum within organization.
But what kind of workshop you are organizing for development team or what
workshop you development team members are attending to gain knowledge related
to development team's practices?
How you are helping to build a better cross-functional and
self-organizing team? Hope you are not ignoring but are you having right
workshops for them? What do you do for people working on Salesforce, Oracle
ERP, Java Development, UX design, Database, .Net Development, Open Source
Platform, Mainframe or Embedded Technologies either as Developer, Testers or
Business Analyst?
I am raising this questions based on my interaction with
development team while facilitating CSD ( Certified Scrum Developer) workshop
for developers, testers and business analyst. What I usually hear that
organization facilitates only Scrum Framework workshop and nothing specific to
development team role. Some organizations also organize workshops on TDD, CI
etc. but mainly tools training and not much focus on practices.
Since Scrum become a widely used framework for software development and
majority of organizations already practicing Scrum or Scrum + Something so it
has become vital to have your development team members go through role specific
workshop to learn practices that can help them to be more efficient and
effective.
Workshops should focus more on practices and importance of
these practices rather than just tools. If they just go for junit, dbunit,
jenkins or cucumber training then most likely teams will misuse these tools. Being a developer I understand one things that until I am not
sure how these practices and tools useful for me, I will not use it. Maybe
this is one the biggest reason that team ignore engineering practices and
technical debts keeps increasing sprint by sprint.
