I have learnt a lot of things related to Agile by just watching your videos, Thank you for helping the community. This will help people in getting in to the desired role and most definitely clear the interviews and make them more confident. I encourage you guys to continue uploading these fantastic videos and share your knowledge. Careers Talk ROCKS!!
I’ve seen many of your videos, I’m scrum certified and SAFe 6.0 certified. I cannot believe the knowledge that I’ve gained from this video. I thought I knew a lot, Well, I was wrong. Ms. V is absolutely amazing and have the gift of teaching. Just ❤ this video tutorial.
About Hot fixes question asked around 1:28:33 ..you can add them as Work Item type as Bug rather than User Stories..to track progress...normally Azure ADO allow this feature...thank me later !
Thanks for coaching in a detailed manner!! This question is related to Product Backlog refinement where you suggest the Scrum Master to work with PO if the Product Backlog is growing and get it prioritized. And then give the prioritized items to the team for grooming. My question is - What if the team has no velocity? and where they will account for this work?
if i understand your Question - all this "work" comes under sprint refinement, which is a plan activity of any sprint , please check the simulation session on sprint planning , you will get good understanding
@careersTalk I watched both videos on this I have a 4 queries. Please reply on pointwise only to get better understanding: 1. whole team is new in scrum how a scrum master can help them to understand what is story in point and how to give user point to a user story. 2. For eg fibonacci series goes on to N numbers. so there will be a developer give 55 some can give 34 and so on any no. what should be the last no. out of which developer need to estimate (hope you are getting my point) 3. let say if team able to figure out dependency, effort, complexity, size, time then its a 8pointer or 5 pointer ? Here we need to have some max. pointer (for eg 8 0r 21) ? 4. let say we have few product backlog how a new team should decide that this will be over reference story
1- (a)by sharing his/her practical knowledge on relative size estimation (b)there is something call- wall of reference 2- there is no last number it depends on team, what references they use. normally team wont go beyond 13 sp. we normally use Fibonacci Scale as it is exponential rather than linear, it helps teams to be more realistic when looking at larger, more complex tasks 3- please understand its not about SP number but the discussion/clarification which happens because of this( in this case team member should discuss why 8 or 21) 4- you can start with bucket system , again wall of reference is not static
Thanks for the detail explanation on the estimation and I really learnt a lot of things from this video, I have one question, If we are giving estimate in story points to the user story then how can we can we sure that the n number of story point will be cover in the 2 week sprint, with capacity of 220 hours because we are not using hours with our user story so how can we identify that number story points will be cover in the 1 sprint or like that?
Does a sprint include story points for user story writing, development, and testing activity?If I am not wrong, User story is written before the first day of the Sprint.
How do you implement planning poker when the team has functional roles like a designer, 1 front end developer and 1 backend developer, and 1QA. Will each of these people be able to estimate stories as a whole? Usually, they are aware of their own work and only perform their own roles. Have not seen them doing other person's work. Currently, each one will provide an estimate for his or her own work which I feel is not the right way. Please provide suggestions for improved estimations.
You really need to work with your team, make them understand what actually estimate is all about. It's not the correct practice which your team is following right now
What is the difference between a spike and 0 pointer story based on Sunand's points for 0 point story as the any effort other than development effort is tracked in spike?
just wanted to find out , we estimate the user stories right . and these user stories are first there in the product backlog and then move to sprint backlog, then what is the difference between product backlog estimation and sprint backlog estimation. @Careers Talk #CareersTalk
Hi Arun , Selvi explain at time stamp 11.15 , also read this article by Mike Cohn, ,, it a great detail read- www.mountaingoatsoftware.com/blog/why-agile-teams-should-estimate-at-two-different-levels . hope it help
Hi sunand, who would estimate the product backlog items? Is it PO? Because sprint backlog items would be estimated by dev. But what about product backlog items?
PO estimate the business value and based on that only order the PB. Developers only estimate the PBI along with PO by various techniques like high level estimate ( Pessimistic, optimistic, most likely) at beginning of the project. Hope it help
A quick question. I was asked in one of scrum master interview questions. What is the process/procedure to write a user story. Can you explain what is the interviewer expecting here
We have done one complete session on user story, splitting user story with example, please browse the videos you will find it , if not let me know we share the link 👍
Very informative session.Thank you for sharing. My question - we are giving estimations to the user stories in points like 1 2 3 5...and the efforts to the task in hrs. So while giving an estimation , do we need to convert estimations into efforts to come up in how many days we can complete the particular user story? Thanks in Advance
I joined a new project and the team is assigning SP values in this way. They take Dev estimates separately (say 5) and QA estimates separately (say 3). Now, they assign the story with 8 SP value. Similarly with other stories too, and thus come up with good number of velocity every sprint. Does it seem fine? How can it be corrected without impacting the velocity? Sometimes this looks ok as Dev knows thinks from developer's perspective and QA thinks from testers perspective. Please share your views.
I have just joined a company as a SM and they started implementing agile and SAFe but they get a lot of advocacy requests from business which they have to complete and also they don’t size everything as they are still need to agile . My question is how can I help them plan specially with the adhoc requests .
Very nice session. Articulated very well. Just curious to know why tasks (not user story related subtasks) are estimated with hours and user stories are estimated with story points ? How these duo combination helps for velocity tracking. Thanks!!
thanks will try to cover in future sessions, meanwhile if you like you can join whats app group and post your query , and share your knowledge with others

Absolutely amazing 👌
thanks , watch other sessions by selvi
Wonderful videos from career talk.. I'm learning a lot.
Glad you like them!

All these are calculated during capacity planning..please check our complete live demo session on sprint planning
Answer is Yes.
very nice
Thanks
Can you plz share link of estimation technique I.e t shirt sizing technique’s video from your channel, I am not able to find
Thank you so much, as usual very informative wish I could be a part of the watsapp group,
Also if you can plan a session around Azure DevOps and one lab
Great
Thanks
Hi Team
Given that your team is followed velocity based approach,what factors should we be considering as part of your work?
How do you implement planning poker when the team has functional roles like a designer, 1 front end developer and 1 backend developer, and 1QA. Will each of these people be able to estimate stories as a whole? Usually, they are aware of their own work and only perform their own roles. Have not seen them doing other person's work. Currently, each one will provide an estimate for his or her own work which I feel is not the right way. Please provide suggestions for improved estimations.
You really need to work with your team, make them understand what actually estimate is all about. It's not the correct practice which your team is following right now
Instead of creating a story and giving a 0 pointer, I think you should include that story in the same story which will cover the scenario
Hi,
when will be the product Backlog estimation will be done and Who are should be included in the estimation session.
What is the difference between a spike and 0 pointer story based on Sunand's points for 0 point story as the any effort other than development effort is tracked in spike?
fantastic session. how may we know about the next session? i would like to jon the future sessions.

Hi Team, are you guys talking about the Expected Shortfall Estimation technique?
I guess you mean to say - shortest job first scheduling
@@CareersTalk Thanks team, I think I heard it wrong when you are talking about different estimations
Very informative session.Thank you for sharing.
My question - we are giving estimations to the user stories in points like 1 2 3 5...and the efforts to the task in hrs. So while giving an estimation , do we need to convert estimations into efforts to come up in how many days we can complete the particular user story? Thanks in Advance
Big Noooo
@@CareersTalk Please provide some more insight on why it's not recommend to estimate in hours ?
If we have 10 story points for a user story. Can we say it can be finished within a sprint or it may take 2 sprints also?
very knowledge, i have learnt so many good things.. thanks a lot. May i add in wht app group, which u were discusong here...
what is the difference between t-shirt sizing and complexity bucket
