This document uses a metaphor of chickens and pigs to explain roles in a scrum meeting. Pigs represent dedicated team members like programmers who are committed to the project. Chickens represent those involved but not dedicated, like a product owner. In a daily scrum meeting, only pigs are allowed to talk while chickens can listen. So those in more peripheral roles should not feel left out as there are other meetings for input. The purpose is to have an efficient stand-up status update without over involvement from non-core members.
Talking the talk
- 1. Talking the Talk Ham n Eggs Hungry yet?
- 2. Theres a chicken and pig here. Who is delivering what?
- 3. Scrum: Chickens and Pigs Depending on what those animals deliver they are treated differently! The pig delivers ham of course, thats a big stake in the restaurant, because he has to sacrifice himself. The chicken delivers eggs, not so much stake because if the restaurant fails the chicken can go lay more eggs. You can probably guess the pig is treated differently than the chicken during a Daily Scrum meeting.
- 4. What am I then? (a few rules) You can come as a different animal depending on your role in the meeting, but you must stay in that role for the duration. You cant be both a chicken and a pig in a meeting except if youre a scrum master! In scrum, Pig: is a dedicated team member such as a programmer, the pig is committed. Chicken: is a product owner or just someone that is involved in the process. Who are you? A pig or a chicken.
- 5. Talking the Talk How are pigs and chickens treated differently in a scrum meeting? Only the pigs are allowed to talk during a Daily Scrum but the Chickens are welcome to watch and listen. So if you are a chicken dont feel left out, there are other meetings in scrum where you can talk.
