    @thambu my problem is you are separating testing from development. You end up with two “tickets” when in fact, there should just be one. Instead of “develop ABC” and “test ABC” as two tickets, it should be “do ABC” as one ticket. There can be separate tasks in that ticket for developers and testers. The team should be estimating together to come up with reasonable numbers for how long it will take to get the entire ticket (user story, product backlog item, or whatever it is called) to “done”. Separating things out creates a waterfall situation where one group does the work and passes it to another group, rather than the agile way where the group works together.

    Any Product Owners out there want to jump into this thread? I’ll have to take some time in the next couple of days to find the books I really like. It’s been a while since I made a list of them and some new ones have popped up. And I’m really interested in what the community has as ideas!!!

    1. A metric answers a question.

    2. The answer is accurate.

    3. The answer confirms or changes behavior.

    I got to spend time with a great group of people last week. This crew was doing team based learning in an Agile for Teams class. A lot of fun and laughter had by all!

    A great group that went through the Agile for Teams class together. Working on teams and learning Scrum together. That’s the way to learn!

    Welcome @Mici we are happy you are able to join us. Feel free to ask questions. We’ll try to get them answered. Also, if you don’t mind answering one more question, what type of continuing education are you interested in? We’re going to be putting together some smaller on-demand courses in 2022 so I’m very interested in your answer!

    @tim that is a good list. I would probably pay most attention to #8, #1, #3, #4 and #5. To me those are the best ones on that list. #2 and #9 are a bit dated at this point.

    @Brad Bell I’m glad you enjoyed the last course you took from us. Hopefully I can do as well or better with the CSPO class this coming week! See you soon.

    @tim CSPO is Certified Scrum Product Owner, a certification available through the Scrum Alliance. It is one of the courses listed on our website at https://agileforall.com/upcoming-courses. An ADO board is an Azure DevOps board, which I think is specific to using Microsoft products to track sprints instead of something like Jira.

    I did respond to at least one of your messages. If you go to your timeline (menu item near the top of the left hand menu) you should see my response.

    As an FYI, 2021 is a year of making sure this community is set up in a way that works and doesn’t generate too much spam as well as surviving cyberattacks (we get hundreds per hour!!!). We’re pretty close now, but some spam got through and I had to take more action to suspend the user. As this community grows we’ll start adding more and more content and I’m sure more people will interact. In 2022 we anticipate having some more active community management to make it even more worthwhile for the members. Until then, you can (and should) continue to post messages. You have been getting responses, so hopefully you will see them going forward.

    It seems to be a pretty bland class with no picture!
