How can we implement Agile Scrum for Infrastructure, where there are dependencies.

Example, The servers are built on production hosts, then, firewall rules are pushed into production and  then apps are installed and configured

If the team consist of persons with hardware, network etc., after server built, then only network engineer work starts.  How can we deal with this, as network engineer idle till hardware engineer work complete vice versa

It is very difficult to implement Scrum when individual and team expertise is enforced.   Also, Scrum is not concerned with individual Development Team Member idleness, as the entire team has responsibility for the forecast work.

Is there a small piece of infrastructure that can be implemented, that will provide you with information/feedback on how future infrastructure work should be designed/implemented?

For example, what would your team need to do to install and configure only one application?

How can we implement Agile Scrum for Infrastructure, where there are dependencies.

The first step is to be clear about the rationale for adopting an incremental approach to infrastructure in the first place.

Examples:

  • Are there opportunities for early return on investment?
  • Is infrastructure provisioning expected to be Just In Time?
  • Are there significant complexities, risks, or unknowns which are best mitigated by bringing them under empirical control?
