An introduction to the Scrum framework. If you are practicing agile or are looking to do complex projects in a quick iterative - Inspect & adapt cycles - you should evaluate scrum .

hello scrum

#hello
#jambo #namaste #bonjour
I am Jatin Khosla, I primarily write software to collect,
organise , analyse , visualise & report Data.
I am extremely passionate about working with Data &
Programming Languages at the Intersection of Technology &
Purpose.
I firmly believe in the 'Do-Manifesto' : As the point of being
done is not to finish but to get other things done and done is
the engine of more and more is to change the world .

simplicity is complexity resolved
Simplified processes help build complex systems

#scrum
“an ordered formation of players, used to restart play, in which the
forwards of a team form up with arms interlocked and heads down,
and push forward against a similar group from the opposing side.
The ball is thrown into the scrum and the players try to gain
possession of it by kicking it backwards towards their own side. “
“disorderly crowd of people or things.“

#scrum
“Scrum is a simple yet incredibly powerful set of principles and
practices that help teams deliver products in short cycles, enabling
fast feedback, continual improvement, and rapid adaptation to
change.”
What is Scrum ?
Who is it for ?
“Anyone who has a complex project can benefit from using Scrum.
Whether you’re working on the next smartphone app, managing
logistics for a store, or planning a charity event, you can use
Scrum!”
