Scrum of scrums

Scrum of Scrums has been officially discontinued as of August 2, 2021

To keep Wikimedia Product and Technology teams abreast of one another, we have a weekly scrum of scrums (SoS) meeting where representatives from each department exchange updates.

• Scrum of scrums etherpad
• Scrum of scrums/Template

Facilitator responsibilities

• Wiki
  • Within 24 hours after the weekly Scrum of Scrums meeting on Wednesdays, copy this week’s content from the etherpad to subpage of this page. Example: Scrum of scrums/2019-03-20.
  • Create the page with source editor. That will remove all formatting. (If you have New wikitext mode enabled in Special:Preferences, if you paste as wikitext via Ctrl or Cmd+V from the etherpad it will double every new line. Instead, do paste-as-plaintext via Ctrl or Cmd+⇧ Shift+V.)
  • Fix formatting errors (mostly whitespace) and typos.
  • Make sure that all blocking/blocked tasks are in both teams. (If team A is blocked by team B with task T, the task should be in blocked section of team A and blocking section of team B.)
  • Delete empty sections (teams with no updates, blocking/blocked/updates with no content).
• Etherpad
  • Copy source of Scrum of scrums/Template page to the etherpad.
• E-mail
  • To: wikitech-l.
  • Subject: Scrum of scrums/[DATE]. Example: Scrum of scrums/2019-05-01
  • Body:
    • URL of the wiki page.
    • Source of the wiki page.
  • Example: [Wikitech-l] Scrum of scrums/2019-05-01
  • Check wikitech-l about once a week to see if the email sparked any questions.
