Challenges of a Cloud Project using Scrum?
- Integration of DevSecOps in team ceremonies
- Integration of software development best practices before starting (version/source control, development and test environments)
- Working as a team instead of a virtuoso
- Contention of O&M with development
- Choosing the right development model – sometimes waterfall is best
- Definition of Done – delivering an increment of value with every sprint (cycle of never done)
- Improving estimates
- Proper documentation (Architecture and Design) – Agile is right level of documentation
- Organizing work and information – establish what goes where
- The synchronizing between what is worked and what is planned (the daily scrum, roadmap)
