Design Sprint Meet Scrum – Scrum Jakarta (CiKemPon) 3rd Meetup

Group photo after the meetup

Hello Scrum enthusiast in Cilandak – Kemang – Pondok Indah – (and around) area!
Thank you for those who came to our last meetup. (Thursday, November 23rd 2017)
Thank you also to PT Asuransi Astra Buana (Pak Iwan) for a great venue.

There wasn’t a usual meetup that we had some speakers to shared a talk, we only did an open space. Open space is a session when we discussed everything based on what we want to discussed within the timebox. So, this is how we hold the session:
1. We are divided into 3 different group (each group will be facilitated by someone: Mas Aditya Suryomurtjito from Sepulsa, Mas Tommy Fadillah from Aleph Labs, and me)
2. Every member of the group got opportunity to share the topic that they wanna discussed, used a post it
3. Then we prioritized the topic to being discussed based on vote from member of the group, means the topic that we pick is the topic that still confusing by most of the people
4. Let’s discussed! (don’t forget to keep the timebox!)

Goal of the session: no more confusing on the most topic, and can you guest what is that? it’s basic Scrum. :”)

Yeah, we discussed everything related basic Scrum, it’s okay, there’s always a session to build the mindset first.

Then we discussed about Design Sprint – Scrum.

Myth that usually came up:

1. Design Sprint is sprint that held by product people (designer and PO) and should be held exactly before (Scrum) development sprint

Design Sprint involve everyone whose in charge or interact with the solution, it can be people outside tech and product team, it can be inside (developer). So it’s not only for designer and PO even though PO and designer might take a major role in the session.

Exactly before Scrum sprint? of course no, it’s not a mini waterfall for designer and PO. So, what is the goal of having a Design Sprint? please check next answer..

2. Design sprint is REQUIRED before we start a Scrum sprint, means no Design Sprint == no Scrum sprint

Goal of Design Sprint is to produce high quality backlog. High quality means validated and tested considered human desirability, business viability, and technical feasibility. So, it can help PO in terms of produce the backlog, but is it always required? the answer is: it can help but not always needed. For pretty straight forward solution and more technical feature, having a Design Sprint might overkill.

Then what is required to start a Scrum sprint? of course not always having a Design Sprint before it.
It is Product Backlog and Sprint Goal.

3. Design sprint is held in sprint planning

Remember, how many hours maximum for sprint planning? 4 hours. Then 4 hours for having a design sprint? of course not enough.

4. Additional time needed in design sprint means less time for all member of the team to developed and delivered the feature

Not all member of the team required in Design Sprint. It can be adjusted based on possibility scope of the solution. If it’s probably impacting front end then we can only invite one of front end guy (not all fronties from that team). It’s also applied to stakeholder, if it’s only touch operation issue, no need to involved marketing guy isn’t it?. Be effective!

Then, don’t forget to consider %capacity of the team that probably involved on Design Sprint so we can include it into capacity calculation during a sprint planning.

5. There’s no any other methodology other than design sprint to produce a great product backlog

There’s no silver bullet. :))

So, what is the best way to accommodate Design Sprint into Scrum?

Design Sprint is one of great way in order to produce high quality backlog, which is something that Scrum framework not really told deeper. So, it’s complementary. Just do Design Sprint separately with Scrum sprint so our product backlog pipeline will always filled with a great one. And just do Scrum sprint as usual as long we have list of product backlog and Sprint goal.

Hope those can help. If it’s still confusing? let’s meetup in our next meetup!

TEDxJakarta Berkebun di Kebun Kumara #TEDxGlobalDay

Berkebun urban di Kebun Kumara

Dalam rangka turut ikut serta dalam TEDxGlobalDay, Minggu lalu (23/9) TEDxJakarta bermain-main ke salah satu urban farm bernama Kebun Kumara.

Berlokasi di area perkemahan/taman/area wisata Situ Gintung, Kebun Kumara menghadirkan pengalaman berbeda dari berkebun yang biasa dilakukan. Dengan mengutamakan prinsip permakultur, yaitu menanam dan mengkondisikan kebun sebagaimana alam bekerja, kami diajak untuk tidak hanya menanam, tapi juga memahami prinsip bagaimana tanaman itu bisa tumbuh dan berkembang.

Pengenalan permakultur di Kebun Kumara oleh Dhira

Pengenalan permakultur di Kebun Kumara oleh Sandra

Nah, dapat dilihat prinsip-prinsip permakultur yang ada di atas. Sejujurnya saya sendiri belum memahami dengan cukup dalam apa itu permakultur. Yang sedikit dapat saya tangkap pada prinsip utamanya adalah:

  1. Peduli terhadap bumi
    Dalam menanam hendaknya peduli tidak hanya terhadap tanamannya, tetapi juga terhadap lingkungan. Misal: apa saja waste yang dihasilkan, bagaimana kita bisa memanfaatkan waste tersebut agar menjadi sesuatu yang dapat dipergunakan kembali untuk menjaga alam seperti membuat kompos, dll.
  2. Peduli terhadap manusia
    Dalam menanam dan membuat kebun hendaknya peduli dengan bagaimana manusia di sekitarnya. Bagaimana manusia dapat mudah berinteraksi dengan kebun tersebut. Bagaimana hasil kebun tersebut dapat bermanfaat terhadap kelangsungan hidup seorang manusia.
  3. Fair share (prinsip keadilan)
    Yap, ini yang paling susah dipahami. Kita harus adil. Misal ada tanaman yang diserang ulat, itu bukan berarti ulat tersebut harus kita basmi. Pahami bahwa daun yang dimakan itu ya rejeki dari ulat tersebut. Ada banyak tikus? bukan hama, itu adalah makanan daripada ular. Ya, menjaga hasil kebun itu penting, tapi kita harus paham bahwasanya kita adalah bagian dari ekosistem yang harus tetap dapat menjaga kondisi keseimbangan.

Setelah pengenalan, kami langsung diajak untuk mencoba praktek membuat kompos. Seru banget! ternyata membuat kompos itu tidak terlalu sulit lho teman-teman. Kita hanya benar benar harus memilah dan mengumpulkan sampah organik, dan cukup biarkan saja.

Prosesnya memang cukup memakan waktu yang beragam, tergantung bagaimana kita pintar mengatur takaran sampahnya. Kalau tidak salah aturannya adalah perbandingan 3(Karbon):1(Nitrogen). Karbon untuk sampah-sampah kering, dan Nitrogen itu untuk sampah-sampah busuk atau basah.

Benar-benar cukup biarkan saja, berikan cahaya dan kelembaban yang cukup agar bakteri (mikroorganisme) dapat berkembang dengan baik. Lalu lakukan pengadukan sampah tersebut setiap hari agar udara dapat bersirkulasi dengan baik. Dan voila! jadi!, tinggal diayak ambil bagian halusnya seperti yang saya lakukan di bawah ini.

Selanjutnya kami diperkenalkan dengan Ecobricks. Apa itu Ecobricks? dapat dilihat pada tautan ini: Ecobricks. Pada intinya, gunakan sampah plastik teman-teman untuk mengisi sebuah botol, sampai penuh banget tanpa tersisa udara sedikitpun. Dan botol tersebut dapat disusun untuk membuat struktur atau material pengganti material keras seperti batu bata atau katu yang dapat digunakan untuk membuat banyak benda atau menyusun bangunan.

Mengapa plastik? ya gak usah dijelasin lagi kali ya? karena plastik itu musuh alam, gak bisa diurai, dan hanya akan merusak alam jika dibiarkan begitu lama.

Selanjutnya workshop kami ditutup dengan rangkaian kegiatan utama, berkebun! (yeay).

Capek! tapi seru banget deh beneran!. Kita diajak mengenal jenis-jenis tanaman dan benar-benar praktek langsung dari pembuatan media tanamnya (kompos) sampai langsung menanamnya. Terima kasih banyak ya Kebun Kumara, Dhira, Sandra, dan Prof Yono, udah mau kita rusuh-rusuhin nih. Semoga habis ini bisa kita praktekkan langsung di rumah.

Btw, Kebun Kumara ini open for public lho buat teman-teman yang mau belajar juga. Langsung kepoin instagramnya atau datangi langsung ke tempatnya aja ya, senin-sabtu aja tapi.

Yuk mari mulai berkebun lagi!
