10 things Scrum team should do

Here is a list of 10 things a scrum team should do. These are in no particular order 1. Keep to the time in all scrum events e.g daily stand-up, sprint planning and retrospective 2. Keep focus on the sprint goal. Everything else is secondary including personal opinion and egos. 3. Keep task and burn down chart up to date. 4. Regular communication and collaborations. Don't let the tools of communication replace one to one communication. At times it is easy just to walk to someone's desk and ask a question. 5. Where possible, sit close to each other. 6. Finish all the task on a story and mark it Done Done before picking a new one. 7. Have regular team outing like lunch or pub for team bonding. A scrum team goes through a process for forming, storming and norming. Any team events helps to get to norming stage early. 8. Have respect for all team members. Agree a protocol for Do not disturb and stick to it for e.g. if I have my headphones on, please do not disturb me unles

Immediately Executable Functional Expression - IEFE or iffy

IEFE or iffy is a JavaScript function that, as the name says, is executed immediately. Here is the syntax. The key is the brackets at the start and end of function. This helps to keep the scope of the variables within the function. Without the function workerProcess and worker will have global scope which is BAD!!! (function () {     var workerProcess = function () {         var task1 = function () {             console.log("task 1");         };         var task2 = function () {             console.log("task 2");         };         return {             job1: task1,             job2: task2         };     };     var worker = workerProcess();     worker.job1();     worker.job2();     worker.job2(); }());
