Overview
Your team is developing a software product for your client, SNHU Travel. To get started, you will need to review information that the Product Owner collected from the client. You will use this information, as well as your knowledge of agile and Scrum principles, to develop an agile team charter. Finally, you will reflect upon a key Scrum event: the Daily Scrum. As Scrum Master, you are responsible for helping the team understand and stay true to agile principles and the Scrum framework.

Prompt
As the Scrum Master for the agile team responsible for the product development, you will develop an agile team charter to help your team be more effective. You will also reflect on a sample Daily Scrum meeting, considering its format and effective practices.

Review the Initial Client Meeting Animation, which presents the Scrum Master’s initial interactions with the Product Owner of the software project for SNHU Travel. A text-only version is available here: CS 250 Initial Client Meeting Animation Text-Only Version. Then, review the Agile Manifesto for Software Development and a sample Free Agile Team Charter Template to get a sense of how the agile principles affect a Scrum Team.
Next, using the CS 250 Agile Team Charter Template, write a cohesive agile team charter that briefly describes the SNHU Travel project, and suggests some behaviors and communication practices for your team.
Note: Normally, this type of document would have input from the whole agile team, but for the purposes of this class, you will fill this out on your own.
Review this sample Daily Scrum Meeting video. Reflect on the format and effective practices of a Daily Scrum by addressing the following:
What are the key questions that can be used to frame a Daily Scrum meeting? How do they help the team achieve their goals?
How does the Scrum Master help facilitate the Daily Scrum throughout the video? Consider both the Scrum Master’s own updates and times when she responded to team members.
What things did the Scrum Master do effectively? How could she improve?
Guidelines for Submission
Use the provided Agile Team Charter Template to complete this artifact. Then use Microsoft Word to reflect on the importance of the Daily Scrum. This document should be 1 to 2 pages in length. Any sources used should be cited according to APA style.

Sample Solution

Business Policy

The business life cycle is the progression of a business in phases over time and is most commonly divided into five stages: launch, growth, shake-out, maturity, and decline. A corporation life cycle can be extended by managerial and product innovations. Developing new combinations of existing resources to introduce new products or acquiring new resources through acquisitions can enable firms with declining performance to regain growth. Strategic plans help identify what an organization is striving to achieve and maps out the necessary steps needed to be successful. Six Sigma is a method that provides organizations tools to improve the capability of their business processes. This increase performance and decrease in process variation helps lead to defect reduction and improvement in profits, employee morale, and quality of products or services.

cropping enterprises, and the better-watered margins of the rangelands was extensively cultivated.
The main aim of Maasai’s people was to get well-watered land on the group ranches which were used herding and then agricultural activities: “The major incentive for acceptance of the concept of group ranches was that the Maasai saw in the legal title a means of maintaining their rights granted” (Campbell, 1986, p.47).
However, the opportunity to get land in this area adapted to agriculture led to the increase in the number of immigrants. The population’s growth resulted in the problem of water and soil resource availability. Also the problem of land degradation has arisen. According to Kimani and Pickari (1998) the majority of farmers couldn’t afford fertilizes to improve the situation. “Soil fertility decline, increased soil erosion, and deforestation were widely reported in 1996” (Campbell, 1999, p.394). In the Loitokitok area farming began in the 1930s with the establishment of a District Office. The administration employed staff who came from farming areas elsewhere in Kenya, and who began to cultivate. In the Loitokitok area it reflects natural increase as well as migration of large numbers from the congested central highlands of Kenya to farm the slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro and other hills.
As for wildlife managers, among their main aims Campbell (2000) states nature diversity conservation – improving disrupted wildlife movements, access to water in riparian zones, and altered livestock grazing patterns. Another aspect, connected also with wildlife tourism enterprises, might be improving tourism facilities. Moreover, for a better management of various land use stakeholders of the region, there is an aim of wildlife managers to develop and implement strategies that might encourage people living near wildlife parks to accept the costs, and benefits, coming from the parks and the wildlife (Campbell, 2005).
Basically, therefore among their activities we can mention returning some of the revenues from wildlife-viewing activities to the adjacent landowners as compensation for the losses they incurred due to wildlife grazing and damage to crops during their wet season dispersal (Emerton, 1999; Lusigi, 1981; Norton-Griffiths, 1996; Norton- Griffiths and Southey, 1995; Western, 1976, 1982,
