Description
The StratusLab project was a two year, European project that developed a complete, open-source cloud distribution, suitable for creating both private and public clouds. A unique feature of the project was its adoption of agile software engineering methodologies, in particular Scrum. Scrum structures the development process into a series of short (~3 week) iterations called sprints. Each sprint starts with a planning meeting and ends with a demonstration of developed functionality. During the sprint, developers remain in contact through daily “stand-up” meetings, limited to 15 minutes. The project adapted the standard Scrum procedures to meet the challenges of operating in an academic environment with a development team distributed throughout five European countries. This presentation describes our experience with Scrum and plans to extend our toolset to support a complete DevOps platform.
