Using SCRUM for team of two developpers.

[Abdel]

I started a new job in which I was assigned, among other duties, the task of automating some processes using Python and Ansible.
The team is composed of only 4 members and only two developpers (I am one of them).

The automation project is still under testing and they are not familiar with Agile and SCRUM methodology.

Because I am the only one to have some experience about the subject, I am wondering if it is worth to introduce SCRUM to the team, and I don't know who will take what responsability.

I could be the scrum master, but I am one of the developpers.

Among the non-developpers, one person looks like it could be a product owner and the other is supervising the whole thing, so I don't know what role to assign.

Will be any value to use SCRUM in such context knowing that I have other duties and I will not be developping on a daily basis?

Thanks a lot for your insights.

Note: Because it is a very small team and if the idea is feaseable, I'am planning to use JIRA for the SCRUM environment.

Hi @Abdel

This is a interesting topic in a way because it is very difficult to say if it is feasible or not.

I would not be using a scrum methodology in your case whereas the best practice would advice me to. However it would be a good idea if my team is going ramp up in the coming days. Then introducing Scrum would be the apt time with the future road map in mind.

There are various sites available on the net, on how and when to introduce scrum to the team.

Here is one such site.

However let us wait for other folks to share their ideas as well!

This can very well be opened as a discussion :)
