Hello, who are you? Friday, May 14, 2010

Scrum is great! • Individuals: clarity, pride, and joy in work • “Move task to done, go home.” • Companies: good projects, high quality, time to market • Agile is the best way to build software (that I know of) Friday, May 14, 2010

Scrum in a nutshell Friday, May 14, 2010

Scrum is simple but difficult. It’s greatest benefit is that it surfaces problems, but Scrum is not enough to solve them. Many companies fail with Scrum because solving problems is difficult and change is painful. More companies would succeed with Scrum if they would anticipate or avoid some of the problems.

Scrum is simple • Minimalistic framework: demands little • Multi-purpose • Surfaces problems • Catalyst for improvement and change (if done correctly) Friday, May 14, 2010

Scrum is difﬁcult • Minimalistic framework: no toolbox • Depends on change in thinking, culture, organization structure • Depends on trust, collaboration, teamwork • Assumes goals, strategy, leadership Friday, May 14, 2010
