MAKE SCRUM DETAILS FUN AGAIN WITH CLEAR VISUAL INSIGHT
Agile Scrum is easy and makes us happy
We learn Scrum through the Agile Manifesto,
which teaches us to value people over tools,
and through the intuitive universal Scrum
process diagram
which shows how the Scrum
ceremonies,
roles, and
artifacts work together.
Practicing Scrum with Jira is hard and makes us sad
Jira, was originally developed for bug tracking, not Scrum. Shoehorning Scrum into Jira causes
cognitive overload
because "Jira Scrum" is
incomplete
Jira partially models the Scrum process but omits
support for major Scrum ceremonies such as the retrospective, showcase, and estimation poker.
,
ineffective
Jira doesn't ground us in the universal Scrum diagram so we must mentally map
the missing diagram to Jira, filling in Scrum ceremonies not included in Jira.
, and
nonvisual
Jira relies heavily on text. Visualizations are in a separate section
outside the daily flow so many teams don't use them. Moreover, the visualizations do not provide
direct insights, i.e., Jira is better at the "what" than the "so what"
.
See Scrum makes us happy again
The See Scrum tool helps teams follow the scrum process and
highlights actionable insights about the health of their team and their sprints.
See Scrum leverages the universal Scrum diagram to model the full
Scrum process and it encourages the team to explore with interactive visualizations.
