Editor's Notes
- One of early hip-hop’s most skilled DJs, Grandmaster Flash is universally acknowledged as the inventor of the scratch.
- Who’s in attendance? Developers, Product Owners, Agile Coaches, Scrum Masters, QA Testers, Executives. Lemme see your b-boy stance.
- Agile transformations at a large company.
- The resistance to agile transformations sometimes feels like the war between 2Pac & Biggie.
- “We tried it, but Agile won’t work in our company.”
- What’s the real reason behind “The Struggle?” Is it a question about the failure of Agile, or the failure, and unwillingness to change?
- Some say synonymous with Hip Hop, but it’s more than a genre, it’s a lifestyle. Even the work “rap” has idden meaning.
- When it clicked for me: listening to the song “Hip Hop Lives” by KRS-One.
- The realization that Hip Hop captured the spirit of agility.
- KRS-One is famous for his quote…
- Hip hop icons, The Beastie Boys: the epitome of change, and adaptability.
- The Beastie Boys started off as hardcore punk band, The Young Aborigines. After hearing Bad Brains.
- In 1982, released the EP “Pollywog Stew.”
- After hearing Sugar Hill Gang, obsessed over rap. “Fight for your right to paaaaaarty!”
- In 1986, released their debut album, “License to Ill.”
- The Beasties then went back to their roots, while still paying homage to hip hop.
- In 1992, they released “Check Your Head.” Spin Magazine ranked it #4 on their list of the 20 best albums of that year.
- The 1s and 2s.
- St. Louis rapper, Bates with her weapon of words: the microphone.
- Crews who did it well: Run DMC, Public Enemy & Salt ‘N Pepa
- The dreaded “cliff hanger.”
- Our jobs as agile practicioners…
- Roland TR-808. 1980-1983. Under $100. Re-issued as the TR-08 in August of 2017. Hip hop equivalent of the Fender Stratocaster guitar. eBay $4600.
- What happens when we think of Scrum musically?
- Music is measured in small pockets of time called “measures.” 4-4 time, or Common Time.
- Audience participation.
- Sprint planning.
- Cross-functional teams.
- Public Enemy: Flavor Flav, Chuck D, Terminator X, and an assortment of Hard Truth Soldiers.
- Leaders of the New School (LONS): Charlie Brown, Dinco D, Cut Monitor Milo, and Busta Rhymes. The story of teamwork, failure and adapting to conflict.
- Should be more about “T-Shaped people.” Broad knowledge, deep understanding in one area.
- Ron Eringa, Professional Scrum trainer for Scrum.org.
- An often forgotten about aspect is QA.
- What happens in waterfall? Testers get bombarded near the end of a sprint, which necessitates the “need” for a QA sprint.
- What’s the word “developer” mean in Scrum?
- Expect to pay upwards of $350 to score front row seats at a Jay-Z concert.
- It’s all about a sustainable pace.
- Calculating velocity. When I asked how to determine a baseline.
- How do I come up with a baseline velocity?
- Drop the decimal? Or round up? Double/Triple Velocity.
- The size of your crew: Wu-Tang Clan.
- The size of your crew: Run DMC.
- It all goes back to KRS-One.
- If KRS-One was a Scrum Master…
