1. Identify any two key changes that were introduced by Greg Adams-Woodford to move his product team from Waterfall to Agile and briefly provide the rationale behind each of them. Two key changes introduced by Greg Adams-Woodford to move his team from Waterfall to Agile were the eradication of offshore software developments teams and a transition to in-house software developers in Arizona, as well as the combination of the QA and development teams with extensive cross training in their…

1.1 Agile working methods Traditional working methods cannot handle the dynamical changes that digital transformation brings along. Agile working methods give the ability to be flexible in uncertain situations, which then brings a decisive competitive advantage. Agile is deeply rooted in software development. In 2001, an international community of seventeen developers formed twelve principles for agile work. The manifesto was written to uncover better ways of software development. There are four…

of the project plan. What is slack time? Slack time is the amount of the time of a non-critical path that can be delayed without completely delaying the project and its requirements. What is the difference between a Gantt chart schedule and a Scrum…

Written component My chosen sport for my analysis is Rugby, my strength is based in the front row, but particularly when I play as loosehead prop. However, I have been in a number of positions since I have been playing for a number of years in school rugby such as the colts A but also at my club. In the modern day for scrummaging you need explosive strength which means to put maximal power in your muscles against the opposing weight e.g. The opposite team and static strength which is key as the…

I interviewed Timothy Beatty who is the dad of my friend Jonathan. I chose him because he works in software engineering, but majored in marine biology while minoring in chemistry and computer science engineering. This intrigued me because in high school I took an oceanography class and fell in love with the study, I wanted to major in oceanography and minor in marine biology, but I figured engineering would be more economic. I still love engineering, so it is not something I’m doing just for the…

release or pass the ball. If released, the ball is open for anyone to obtain. Play stops only on a rules violation, two opposing players grabbing the ball (known as a ruck or maul) or the ball going out of bounds.

play to continue until he judges that adequate advantage has accrued, when he calls "advantage over", and play continues as if the original infraction had not occurred. If he deems that no advantage can accrue, the referee will stop play and award a scrum, free kick or penalty, as appropriate, at the site of the original infraction. The question of what is "advantage" and how long play should be allowed to continue to see if any advantage is gained, is a moot point: the referee is the sole…

Quarter past the hour, the bus was swamped as a freeway at traffic hour. Orca blue had camouflaged the city; fortunately, accents of flaming red had made their presence felt. Furthermore, it was evident that it was playoff season. As game time neared, my cousin and I made our way to our Hotel. Just hours before puck drop, the rabid Canucks fans, delivered some rather crude looks as we strolled down Robson Street in our Gaudreau shirts. Moreover, we modestly smirked back, as our flames were up…
