Implementation of Scrum

A didactic project that shows how to structure and run a Scrum implementation in practice, with a focus on clarity, flow, and value delivery.

Overview

In this project, theory is turned into a practical sequence: problem, backlog, prioritization, sprint, execution, review, and retrospective. The goal is to show, clearly and professionally, how an agile delivery is structured from start to finish.

Problema

The starting point is a team that needs to organize demands, prioritize value, and visualize work clearly.

Solution

Scrum acts as the main structure, Kanban supports flow visualization, and lightweight prioritization techniques keep execution focused.

Result

The expected result is a small, validatable increment that is easy to demonstrate in a few minutes.

Step-by-step guide

1. Define the problem and goal

The work starts with a simple scenario and a SMART goal. This keeps the proposal concrete and avoids diving into operational details too early.

2. Create the initial backlog

Next, epics and user stories are structured using INVEST logic. Each item should be small, negotiable, valuable, and testable.

3. Prioritize with MoSCoW

During prioritization, the backlog is split into Must, Should, Could, and Won't to keep the sprint realistic and value-driven.

4. Plan the sprint

During planning, the goal, team capacity, selected items, and main risks are defined before the sprint starts.

5. Execute with Kanban

During execution, visual columns, work-in-progress limits, and visible blockers are used for the whole team.

6. Review and Retro

During the review, the increment is presented, feedback is gathered, and the retrospective closes the loop with lessons for the next sprint.

Frameworks and methodologies

Scrum + Kanban

Scrum organizes work into sprints and events; Kanban helps visualize flow and keep focus on tasks that are actually in progress.

Practical summary
Problem -> Backlog -> Prioritization -> Sprint -> Execution -> Review -> Retro

SMART + INVEST + MoSCoW

These three techniques make planning stronger: a well-defined goal, better stories, and prioritization without overload.

  • SMART for goals: specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound.
  • INVEST for stories: independent, negotiable, valuable, estimable, small, and testable.
  • MoSCoW for prioritization: Must, Should, Could, and Won't.

How to present this project

The best way to present this project is to start with the problem, explain the prioritization logic, show the sprint in progress, and close with retrospective learnings.

  • The context comes before the solution so the problem stays clear.
  • The backlog evolves visibly and in an organized way until the increment is delivered.
  • The downloads work as practical support for study or portfolio use.
  • The closing highlights what was learned and what can improve in the next sprint.
