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...

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...

ASP.net Core Services Lifetime Differences Between Using AddTransient, AddScoped and AddSingleton Services

  ASP.net Core Services Lifetime Differences Between Using AddTransient, AddScoped and AddSingleton Services Overview In this blog post, I will be explaining to you the ASP.net core Service Lifetime and will be explaining to you what is the difference between them and which one can be a risk to a memory leak if used incorrectly. AddTransient, AddScoped, and AddSingleton are dependency injection services in ASP.NET Core. The differences between them are as follows below. AddTransient: A new instance of the service is created every time it is requested. AddScoped: A single instance of the service is created per request within the same scope. AddSingleton: A single instance of the service is created for the entire application lifetime. In general, it's recommended to use AddScoped for services that are stateful and AddTransient for services that are stateless or have a short lifetime. AddSingleton is usually used for services that are expensive to create or only need to be crea...
