The only scrum master
normally you go to a conference, spend 2 days and pay a lot of money to see a guy like Ken Schwaber. Luky guys who took the chance and meet him yesterday in a local bar in Kreuzberg. Here is my summary of the great meeting yesterday
Scrum takes a “normal” project, cuts it into small pieces of 1-4 week iterations. These smaller iterations still work as a project in itself. Just small, easier to manage, faster to learn from your problems and better predictable.
What is scrum more …
- A collection of best practices (created for software developing)
- Scrum ist “Gedränge” wörtlich übersetzt
- XP are a set of software development technics which fit perfect into the scrum process
- was created by Ken Schwaber in the beginning of the 90ths, and more here http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrum
What does scrum, if you get infected
- It shows the problems, gaps, problems you have very fast. Oh my good. So it doesn’t solve all my problems? No.
- It gives back the process control to the people who own it, who are actually doing it.
- It values people as human beings, not resources. It values human as trust-able, intelligent human beings. Oh my god.
- It is hard work
It was great source of infection yesterday, thanks to everyone who made it possible.
