In my previous post, I discussed many of the issues and complications that come with working in teams to create an application that may not even fit the end user's needs. It is a huge problem in any environment where the developers are not the people who will be using the application (which is nearly all development environments).
This week they began to roll out a new tool called "Icescrum". It is a form of scrum management that essentially provides a new way to organize the creation of an application.
Essentially, it begins with "user stories" that are requests or "stories" straight from the people who will be using the application, detailing what they want and how they will use it. These are directly correlated into features, assuming they are accepted by the project manager, and can then be handled individually by different people. While very simple, it provides a clear-cut bridge between the users and the developers of a product. So far, it has proved to make things much simpler for everyone and has streamlined the whole process.
