Thank you so much Niladri sir for shedding light on Backlog Health, how to calculate backlog health & how to draft a detailed mail after completing backlog grooming on a real time basis. Thank you so much for sharing the incredible practical information which you have practiced in your organisation as a scrum master. Big Thanks.
Thank u a lot for these videos!!! Ur videos have helped me so much even more than any other certification ive got. really thank u very much! u r awesome!
Hello Niladri, Your videos are really good and I watch almost all videos that you upload. A suggestion - You can make a Video on "Scenario based Scrum Master/Agile Coach Interview Questions" . The clarity you have on Agile and Scrum will surely come out in practical real life scenario questions. Thankyou
Thanks Sir.. I like your videos very much. Sometimes sessions are very descriptive , I believe it is not required. This was i think could be small and very specific about Backlog management. If session is very big then , it is difficult to digest :)
Hey, that was great video, Do u have a video that describe the agile process step by step, like when grooming need to done, when sprint planning, if not please make a video I am trying to sit for pmp but agile part is really seem unclear
If possible, Niladri ji, kindly provide an insight of real time examples of sprint ceremony which you might be doing or might have done in your organisation. That would be very useful.
Thanks for nice informations. Do we have to keep grooming session during sprints? If yes then do we keep separate estimations for this sessions or need to adjust during sprints hours. You took sprint 200 hrs but actual estimations for user stories are 150 hrs. So these 50 hrs can be used for grooming session?
When should we do Product Backlog Grooming / Backlog Refinement ? Before sprintplaning for upcoing sprint or middle of the current sprint for next sprint preparation? In Scrum ceremony/event/artifacts there has Product Backlog Grooming / Backlog Refinement not mentioned clearly.
Backlog grooming you can do any time. dont relate with your sprint. just focus on backlog health. so that when you will do sprint planning you will have ready stories
Hi Matteo Pacenti, Grooming matrix is not very popular or used in industry. you can use it to to track the team is capable to groom number of story points per hour to calculate how many hours of grooming required to meet the Backlog health as 100%.
Groom the number of stories you can within the planned meeting time 1 Hr , 2 Hour etc. Schedule grooming once a week or twice a week to have groomed story ready in Backlog, Don't wait for the next sprint planning.
Acceptance Criteria and Definition of Ready are totally different. in very high level Just understand Acceptance criteria are part of each Product Backlog Item. where DOR and DODs are team level definitions
You need to increase the frequency of grooming meeting, based on your each grooming outcome volume to reach organization expectation of backlog health.
Not sure what exactly you mean by manage, Its Team backlog, where team member can create product backlog item, Product Owner owns the Acceptance criteria primarily, and most of the time provide business functionality as user story description. Most cases the product Owner takes the responsibility to enhance user story there. The team collaboratively refine them. Product Owner prioritize them.
That is grooming capability the team can do average. Total number of Story points groomed in 6 hours is 112 SP, so Per hour the team can groom approx 22.5. This number you can use to calculate approx time you need to reach to your 100% backlog health.
No, lets understand it in a different way. When we eat, dinner or lunch or breakfast we take the amount of food that we can eat in one go, but when we go dor grocery shopping we dont buy only how much we can eat in one go, instead we buy for few upcoming meals. Similarly when we groom we dont groom for one upcoming sprint, instead we groom for few upcoming sprint. You can refer backlog health are to understand why it is important.
Story point estimating should be done before sprint planning. The whole point of grooming is understand what the 'ask' is, get answers to questions from product owner, then size the story based on complexity.
@@batalanina I still want to hear from the trainer/ speaker in this vedio. My answer is SP are given by the individual team member based on his own best judgement .. it is not an exact science... just a guestimate based on past experience..Very objective is to get it out from team together on the same page...
please watch couple of other video like sprint Planning and planning poker, I think that will clarify few doubts. Story Point estimation should be come from only team members, during refinement of that story. you can refine a user story during backlog refinement session or sprint Planning. I have mentioned why we should prefer to refine the story much before than sprint Planning
Focus on content, everyone does not speak like British.... He has good content and knowledge perhaps you should expand your tolerance and appreciate knowledge.
No words to explain your effort on this, just phenomenal. Respect and Gratitude!
Thank you so much 😀

Awesome. Very balanced and very well graphical presentation
Thanks for this wonderful piece of information. It's really helpful for beginners.
I like a way of your explaination, but I have one question, when we are doing the product grooming in our scrum process?
Sometimes in between sprint so let’s say it’s a 4 week sprint then you can plan some time for product backlog grooming in week 3.
your videos are pretty practical ... this gives real confidence when presenting answer at interview.
Thank you so much for providing that valuable information.
Thank u a lot for these videos!!! Ur videos have helped me so much even more than any other certification ive got. really thank u very much! u r awesome!

Very well elaborated!
Thank you so much
You are Welcom

I have started long back, did not got time to complete them yet
Great one again. This is Arpit. :-)
Hey, thanks

I am trying to sit for pmp but agile part is really seem unclear
Sure, will try
If possible, Niladri ji, kindly provide an insight of real time examples of sprint ceremony which you might be doing or might have done in your organisation. That would be very useful.
Hi Niladri.. It's nice video on grooming... May I get all the agile templates what you are using ? Kindly le me know the cost
Where did you get the 18, 12, 20 , 24 for the grooming capability?
that is a cumulative of stories groomed say 4 stories with 3 points were groomed.
Very helpful !!! Thx for this video
Great video! Could you share the sample template for sharing the summary to all stakeholders?
Thanks for nice informations. Do we have to keep grooming session during sprints? If yes then do we keep separate estimations for this sessions or need to adjust during sprints hours. You took sprint 200 hrs but actual estimations for user stories are 150 hrs. So these 50 hrs can be used for grooming session?
Please watch the video of Capacity Planning, that will help you clarify the doubts
Sir, How to plan grooming for sprint 1? Since sprint starts before grooming
Spend some time before your first sprint
When should we do Product Backlog Grooming / Backlog Refinement ? Before sprintplaning for upcoing sprint or middle of the current sprint for next sprint preparation? In Scrum ceremony/event/artifacts there has Product Backlog Grooming / Backlog Refinement not mentioned clearly.
Backlog grooming you can do any time. dont relate with your sprint. just focus on backlog health. so that when you will do sprint planning you will have ready stories
The metrics part is not explanied properly
explain grooming capability calculation
Thank You!
Hi, sorry can you explain a bit better the grooming matrix?
How do you find the groomed SP??
Hi Matteo Pacenti, Grooming matrix is not very popular or used in industry. you can use it to to track the team is capable to groom number of story points per hour to calculate how many hours of grooming required to meet the Backlog health as 100%.
Is Cross functional team not part of Scrum Team(Dev+PO+SM)?
scrum team itself is a cross functional team. but can also have dependencies on other cross functional team.
Hi, if we required to develop a phototype for a story at what time we develop it? Grooming session or within sprint??
Yes
prototyping is it expected by Business ? what is the purpose of creating the prototype ?
thank you! do you also have a video on how to break the main user story into smaller items?
Not Yet, Sorry.
Do we need to groom all the user stories in a single grooming session or have a grooming session before each sprint ? How does this work ?
Groom the number of stories you can within the planned meeting time 1 Hr , 2 Hour etc. Schedule grooming once a week or twice a week to have groomed story ready in Backlog, Don't wait for the next sprint planning.
Hello Sir, you have not talked much about INVEST and DEEP which you mentioned at the beginning of this video.
Hello can you please tell what formula you have used to get 33.33 you mentioned average of 6 sprints can you please tell me the formula you used??
Average of (total Last 6 sprint Completed story points ) = (32+36+30+31+32+39+)/6 = 33.33
Please what is difference of Acceptance criteria vs DOR?
Acceptance Criteria and Definition of Ready are totally different. in very high level Just understand Acceptance criteria are part of each Product Backlog Item. where DOR and DODs are team level definitions
thanks, these video training is really helpfull for beginners like me.
Hi, I didn't get how did you calculate grooming capability and grooming need ?
You need to increase the frequency of grooming meeting, based on your each grooming outcome volume to reach organization expectation of backlog health.
Who Manages the backlog Grooming??
Not sure what exactly you mean by manage, Its Team backlog, where team member can create product backlog item, Product Owner owns the Acceptance criteria primarily, and most of the time provide business functionality as user story description. Most cases the product Owner takes the responsibility to enhance user story there. The team collaboratively refine them. Product Owner prioritize them.
Team
how come 112/5 has come no explanation about it..kindly explain
That is grooming capability the team can do average. Total number of Story points groomed in 6 hours is 112 SP, so Per hour the team can groom approx 22.5. This number you can use to calculate approx time you need to reach to your 100% backlog health.
@@AgileDigest Should grooming not be done based on team capacity, why invest so much time of scrum team on grooming not needed SPs? pls advise.
Total story point / hours spent
No, lets understand it in a different way. When we eat, dinner or lunch or breakfast we take the amount of food that we can eat in one go, but when we go dor grocery shopping we dont buy only how much we can eat in one go, instead we buy for few upcoming meals. Similarly when we groom we dont groom for one upcoming sprint, instead we groom for few upcoming sprint. You can refer backlog health are to understand why it is important.
Hi, How do we have a story point information while grooming? I thought we get the story points estimated at planning can you please explain
Hi Sreegeetha, I will request you to watch the video once again, end to end, Hope you will get the answer. If not please reply back.
Story point estimating should be done before sprint planning. The whole point of grooming is understand what the 'ask' is, get answers to questions from product owner, then size the story based on complexity.
@@AgileDigest I also didn't understand how to put SP even I watched again2. Please give us information.
@@batalanina I still want to hear from the trainer/ speaker in this vedio.
