Cecile Davis & Leo van der Aalst - Agile Balance - EuroSTAR 2012
Self-organizing Teams 
The best architectures, requirements, and designs 
emerge from self-organizing teams 
• Commit to a common purpose 
• Team responsibility 
• Defining how to work 
• Team sits close to the work 
• Short cycles
Tight Grip or Let Go?
Excercise Trust
Scrum Framework 
• To be filled in later
Transparancy resources 
• Product backlog 
• Definition of done 
• Definition of ready 
• Definition of shippable 
• Sprint backlog 
• Daily stand-ups 
• Burndown charts 
• Taskboards 
• Sprint review 
• Testing in control?!
Test Documentation 
• Mastertestplan 
• Testplan 
• Progress, risk and end report 
• Report detail intake 
• Testspecification 
• Finding report 
• Evaluation report 
sprint 1
Balancing test documentation 
What is enough? 
The answer is context dependent, but always ask 
2 questions: 
• Why: Is this documentation valuable for the 
business? 
• For whom: Is the team better off with this 
documentation? 
What is not documented, 
must be communicated! 
sprint 1
Balancing PRA/test strategy 
• Productriskanalysis (PRA) 
– Joint view of the more or less risky parts and characteristics of a 
system 
– No risk, no test 
• High-level Teststrategy 
• When? 
– Sprint 0 
– More detailed with increasing knowledge
