Agile Scrum Definitions

 

Agile Scrum Definitions by Ziggy Rafiq


Overview

Over the past few years working within the Agile Scrum teams I have seen at some places there are not clear with the basic simple terms of Agile scrum definitions and I thought of writing this blog post based around exampling the simple basic terms definitions we use in Agile Scrum terms.

Product Owner

The primary decision-maker on the scrum team.

Scrum Master

Leads the meetings and standups, removes roadblocks and oversees the scrum team.

User Story

A brief explanation of the who, what and why behind a project.

Tasks

An item that needs to be completed by a scrum team member.

Backlog

A repository of the project ideas that may be executed in the future.

Blockers

Anything that is preventing a team member from completing their work.

Minim Viable Product (MVP)

A base-level project intended to show proof of concepts.

Kanban

A visual framework for tracking steps in a process that uses columns and status indicators moving from left (beginning ) to right (completion).

Retrospectives

A meeting to reflect on how a sprint went, what was learned and what could be improved upon in the future.

Standup

A daily morning meeting where the team shares what they did yesterday, what they will do today and anything that is preventing them from moving forward.

Sprint

A short period during which a project will be completed, generally a week to a month, most places I have seen is two weeks sprint.

A Complete Guide to Using GUIDs in C# with Code Examples

  Overview In this post, we are looking at GUIDs (Globally Unique Identifiers), which are widely used in C# for generating unique identifiers for objects, entities, and resources in a system. In this post, we'll explore the basics of GUIDs in C#, their advantages, and how to convert strings to GUIDs. In this post, we have used Guid Generator to create the GUID from the following URL Address https://guidgenerator.com/ What is GUID GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) in C# is a 128-bit value that is used to identify objects, entities, or resources in a unique manner across different systems and applications. It is also known as UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) in some other programming languages.   GUIDs are generated using a combination of unique factors such as the MAC address of the network adapter, the current time and date, and a random number. The resulting GUID is a string of 32 hexadecimal digits separated by hyphens, such as "b86f2096-237a-4059-8329-1bbcea72769b...

Primitives Data Types and None-Primitives Data Types in C# with Code Examples

  Overview I wrote this post to provide an explanation of primitive and non-primitive data types in C#. C# is a strongly typed programming language, where each variable and expression must have a specific data type. C# data types are categorized into two primary groups: primitive data types and non-primitive data types. Primitive data types are the simplest data types available in programming languages. They are typically pre-defined data types and can represent a single value, such as a boolean value, character, or integer. Examples of primitive data types include int, char, float, double, and boolean, which are common in programming languages like C++, C, and Java. Non-primitive data types are also referred to as composite data types or reference data types. They are constructed from primitive data types and are more complex than primitive data types. Non-primitive data types can hold multiple values and allow for the creation of more intricate data structures like tables, li...

How to Truncate String in C#

  Overview In today’s post, I am writing about one of the fundamental aspects of C# and as programmers, we should use this approach I have realised throughout my life as a software engineer that not everyone knows the most basic approaches or how to use them efficiently. Truncating a string in C# means reducing the length of a string to a specified number of characters, typically by removing characters from the end of the string. This is often done when a string is too long to be displayed or used in a specific context and needs to be shortened to fit. Ley says if we have a string that is 100 characters long, but we only want to display the first 50 characters, we will truncate the string to a length of 50. There are several ways to truncate a string in C#, including using the Substring method, StringBuilder, and LINQ. A simple example of this is below, we're creating a longString variable with a long string value. We're also defining a maxLength variable with a value of 20...
