Scrumban using Asana

I had to create a project management practice in Agile for one of my projects.
I had experience in working with Scrum  and Scrumban Agile methodolgies .

I decided to adopt Scrumban as i found it better that Scrum and more suited for product development with uncertain requirements and often user stories which require a depeer research and understanding .

You can read on further from the links below on Scrumban

https://www.agilealliance.org/what-is-scrumban/
http://leansoftwareengineering.com/ksse/scrum-ban/

I had to choose a tool that was open source and readily available , I evaluated the below tools


Of the above I found Asana highly suitable and configurable and bingo they also had a mobile application which was quite user friendly.
The  Sprints were planned for 2 weeks duration and a Milestone of 1 month duration
. Each Milestone had two Sprints .

For scrumban I choose the below project structure


Here the Backlog had the backlog items identified for the sprint  and the Milestone .



The tags option is used to denote the epics of the story .We had two projects "Dashboard" and "Campaign".

Now once the tasks were ready for the sprint they were moved to Sprint backlog

Suppose its Sprint 1.1 of the First Milestone


The tasks will be ordered in 4 categories
  • Sprint backlog 
  • Ready to do 
  • In Progress 
  • Done 

In the Sprint planning session each tasks will be allocated story points and alloacted to a person .The story points had to be marked with "[ ]"  as Asana doesnt offer a story point option for free users .

Once the tasks are completed and the "sprint is Over" they are moved to the respective Milestones for delivery


So here suppose Sprint 1.1 tasks have been completed they tasks are moved to Milestone 1 for delivery .
This is a simple way to use Asana to manage your Agile project in Scrumban .
You can refer to the official version of using the kanban board here .

I have used a Custom template for plotting the Sprint burndown . You can download it here .

For Machine learning should we use R or Python ?

Some real important differences to consider when you are choosing  R  or  Python  over one another: Machine Learning  has 2 phases. Model Building and Prediction phase. Typically, model building is performed as a batch process and  predictions are done realtime . The model building process is a compute intensive process while the prediction happens in a jiffy. Therefore, performance of an algorithm in Python or R doesn't really affect the turn-around time of the user. Python 1, R 1. Production:  The real difference between Python and R comes in being production ready. Python, as such is a full fledged programming language and many organisations use it in their production systems. R is a statistical programming software favoured by many academia and due to the rise in data science and availability of libraries and being open source, the industry has started using R. Many of these organisations have their production systems either in Java, C++, C#, Python etc. So, ideally they w
