Top 10 things to remember in scrum sprint


Compiling 10 things to remember in sprint cycle (from theory and experience), which anyone following scrum anywhere, should remember!!

1. Spirit of Scrum says work and think using “We” and not “I” (No blame game and be ready always to lend a help, if it helps in completing sprint successfully)

2. There is nothing called “The Sprint partially succeeded”. It fails or succeeds in full i.e. all tickets must be delivered well and in time (think of DB transactions as analogy )

3. Whenever you find yourself stuck on account of dependency, approach Scrum Master ASAP.

4. Following processes may sound boring. And following a new process may look a burden. But remember, it is We only who’ve defined process and should hence follow it for sprint betterment.

5. Keep standup short – What I did? What I’m doing next? Am I facing any issue or  has to discuss anything (after standup)?

6. Talk in numbers – Prefer JIRA (or whatever tool use) task numbers with a very small description for standup when talking of your status. For example, I've been working with Ticket3142 related to adding new values in user search  dropdown.

7. The more you talk to QA while user story is in progress, the more you can avoid them later (in context of bugs logged post release )

8. Don’t be shy to say NO to any external distraction which you believe would definitely affect sprint (e.g., interview, other bugs, unimportant meetings etc.) 

9. Sprint team follows no hierarchy and everyone is equal and equally accountable to get sprint done

10. Most Important - Don’t take pressure. Enjoy sprint and remain motivated.

How to show only month and year fields in android Date-picker?

Image
Android default DatePicker show day/month/year fields but you have to customize this DatePicker as your requirements. Suppose that you want to show only month and year fields in android datepicker . To do this, you have to customize the Dialog DatePicker source code but it is not an easy task. In this tutorial I will show you a tricky way to solve this problem. Lets see how to show only month and year field in android DatePicker as a dialog.   Step to show only month and year fields in android date-picker: Some days ago I got this same problem and here I am trying to explain this in a sequential manner. I want to show a dialog datepicker when user click on an EditText. So if user click on EditText, A dialog datepicker will be invocked and it will show only month and year fields. To do this, at first we have to create a xml layout to hold the EditText fields. So create an android project and name it DatePickerExample. In the main.xml file just try to write this simple code....

How to construct a B+ tree with example

Image
A B+ tree contains n-1 search key values K1K2…….Kn-1 and have n pointers.   In a B+ tree the data are ordered  sequentially.  The leaf node may hold up to n pointers and must hold at least N/2 pointers. The root node must hold at least two pointers, unless the tree consists of only one node.  Now we construct a B+ tree. Construct a B+ tree for the following set of key values: (2,3,5,7,11,17,19,23,29,31) Assume that the tree is initially empty and values are added in ascending order. Construct a B+ tree where the pointer number is Four. Solution: When a node exceeds n-1 search key value then we split it into two nodes. First node contains (ceiling(n-1)/2) values.  2 nd node contains remaining node. Copy the smallest search key value of the second node to the parent node. Let's start, we know each node has N pointer and has N-1 search key values. In our example pointer number is 4, so the search key value is 4-1=3. So each node has 4 pointers and 3 search key val...

Conflict Serializability in database

Image
To maintains database state consistency we introduce serializability. Using serializability we can understand which schedule will ensure consistency, and which schedule will not. When we are capable of converting a concurrent schedule into a serial schedule then we cal it serializable schedule. A schedule is serializable if it is equivalent to a serial schedule. We divided this concepts into two parts 1. Conflict serializability  & 2. View serializability In this discussion I just clarify you the conflict serializability. Consider two instruction read, write and the data item A and B. When two instruction execute different data item such as read(A) and read(B), then we can swap the instruction without affecting the result of the schedule. But when the data item is equivalent to one another we need to consider following four condition.    a.   read (A ),    read ( A ).   they   don’t conflict.    b.   read ( Q),  ...
