About individual- and team time

• 50% individual- and 50% team effort, where
  • The individual effort is
    • 10% individual time
    • 15% presentation (each release) and
    • 25% role (perception of the role you had in the scrum process during the release)
  • The team effort is
    • 10% team time
    • 40% assessment of the releases (4 releases, each 10%)

What is individual and team time? What is important for the presentation and how do we assess the preception of your different roles? Here are the answers:

• Individual and team time
  • At least one hour of each individual and team time to get a 4.0.
  • Two hours of each individual and team time to get a 1.0.
  • At the end of each weekly meeting you will get an assessment in the range (-2,…,+2) which will be summarized at the end of SE1 and build your individual/team grade.
  • Individual time
    • Starts counting if at least two team members start working on the project (two because we want to boost pair programming) in the SE lab.
  • Team time
    • Starts counting if at least 75% of the team comes together in the SE lab and start working on the project.
    • Team time also counts into individual time!
• Presentation
  • Each release ends with the presentation of the results.
  • Present the new features which you developed within the last 4 weeks
  • 50% content. We assess how efficient you’ve worked within the last 4 weeks. Efficency is meant as the relation between the planned and realized features. However you’ll not get a bad grade if you have good arguments why the planned features didn’t get into the product.
  • 50% presentation style.
  • You will get feedback at the end of each presentation!
• Roles
  • Dependent on the role you had within a release, we will asses as follows
    • Scrum Master
      • “The scrum master has to ensure that the team has everything it needs to get the work done.”
      • Contacts the SE experts and arranges the weekly meetings
      • We will asses how you did this job!
    • Product owner
      • Maintains the Agilo instance and writes “User Stories”.
      • Prioritizes the tasks in the product backlog
      • We will asses how you did this job by having a look at your agilo.
    • Developer
      • We will have a look at the Agilo burndown charts to get a picture what you did
