Ansible engineering and operations should be treated as distinct disciplines to promote high-quality, maintainable automation. This separation ensures that engineering focuses on building scalable, reusable code, while operations handles deployment, monitoring, and day-to-day execution.
In Scrum-based Ansible projects, story points and velocity should be estimated and measured accurately, with a strong emphasis on the business value derived from automation content. Story points aren’t about time but about relative effort, complexity, and risk.
Adopt consistent and meaningful naming for sprints, inspired by Semantic Versioning (SemVer) principles. This “SemSprint” approach makes sprint names descriptive, improving communication and traceability.
Establish effective Definition of Done (DoD) criteria specifically for Ansible projects to ensure that deliverables are complete, tested, and ready for production. DoD acts as a checklist to prevent “done” from meaning “mostly done.”
