Scenario

In Assignment 1, we discussed the suitability of converting the PMPD Program Delivery to Agile. In this Assignment, we are going to rework the PRM 1008 course so that it is now delivered in the Scrum Methodology. This requires critical thinking and application of your firsthand knowledge of the PRM 1008 Course.

Your team is going to reformat the delivery of the course into a Scrum Methodology.

Part 1: Introductory Questions /10 Marks

It is up to you to transition the PRM 1008 Program from a waterfall course delivery method to a Scrum Course Delivery method. You need to think critically here; how could this be achieved? Please answer the following questions carefully:

• Format: What format does the PRM 1008 take? Is it still a 7-week course? Is it delivered in a flex method or in-person? How many sections will be running? What are the sizes of the section? Your team can also discuss any other changes anticipated to impact the current course delivery.
• Project Team: Who is on the project team? Be specific. Are the professors all full time, or can they be part time? Other than Professors, who is on the project team? Will all these team members receive Agile training? When, and what type of training? Be specific your team of 6-8 people.
• Client: Who are the clients in this scenario? What would be an ideal number of students in each section of the course? Would the clients need to be collocated? How would the feedback from the client be incorporated into the Scrum process? Be specific.
• Iterative Delivery: What benefit(s) could be realized from taking client feedback after every iteration/sprint? Could there be any disadvantages to modifying the next set of requirements after every iteration? Think critically!
• Roles: Who takes on each role from the Scrum team? You have 6-8 people on your project team. Explain the role of each team member in detail. Each of these team members will take on roles in Part 3.
