Perhaps you could provide specific things you're doing (or not doing). A daily meeting is pretty trivial. If -- after 10+ sprints -- you're still not talking, I'm seriously impressed at the teams's steadfast refusal to engage in useful communication. Any hints as to why no actual communication is happening? | |

| Sep 20, 2011 at 21:24 | comment | added | CaffGeek | You need to calculate your sprint size not by the number of items, but by velocity and weighting the difficulty of each item. If you have 50 one hour tasks, then no problem. If you have 50 tasks, where most are 4-8 hours, it's an impossible feat. | |
| Sep 20, 2011 at 21:20 | comment | added | jhocking | Your question asked about 3 items, not 50. If you have 50 items in a sprint, that's a whole other problem. | |
| Sep 20, 2011 at 21:06 | comment | added | S.Lott | "50 back log items per sprint"? What? 50 items in a 2-week sprint? How is this even possible? And how can you not coordinate this with daily meetings? What specific problems are you having that are not solve by actual conversations among the actual people who are actually supposed to be doing the work? | |
| Sep 20, 2011 at 21:04 | comment | added | David | hmmm... We're the first project in the company to use scrum so maybe we're not doing the daily meetings correctly. We have about 50 back log items per sprint and it really isn't obvious to see the dependencies. We're using TFS to store the items. Is there some kind of report that can show tasks in the order that they need to be completed? | |
