Paul Goddard writes that agile projects and music have many parallels. Both are the result of a vision realised. Each follows an agile process of testing, reworking and listening to playback as the end result is iteratively achieved.

Also zunächst mal:
Stell dir eine Fussballmanschaft vor, sagen wir Bayern München.
Wer repräsentiert das Scrum Team?
> Product Owner — Der Präsident des Vereins
> ScrumMaster — Der Coach
> Team — Die Spieler
So – aber reicht das denn? Können wir jetzt schon ein Bundesligaspiel bestreiten?
Sicher, die Jungs können auf den Bolzplatz gehen und ein wenig [...]

“There is time when panic is the appropriate response!” This is one of the best presentations I have seen. It is definitely based on his emotional way to transfer the message of “Going Green”. You need to see this presentation. First because of his message, second because of the way he presents.

The world is flat | collaboration worldwide
March 23rd, 2008 · No Comments · 00 checked, English, Scrum, Social Studies
Thomas L. Friedman describes in “The World is Flat”, that the world shrinks to a small place. Fiber-optics, the internet and new technology create a new world.

Definition “Done” | Was ist “potential shippable code”?
March 21st, 2008 · No Comments · 00 checked, Deutsch, Product Development, Scrum, Scrum Training, link offline
In allen Scrum Coachings gibt es ein extrem heikles Thema: “Potential shippable code” oder “usable software”. Scrum verlangt am Ende eines Sprints, dass tatsächlich brauchbare Software, also ein Teil einer Applikation, die ein Anwender nutzen kann, geliefert werden muss.
Die meisten Teams schaffen dass zu Anfang einer Scrum-Implementierung nicht. Dafür gibt unzählige Gründe, die alle valide [...]

Scrum Mind Map | Henrik Kniberg
March 19th, 2008 · No Comments · 00 checked, English, Scrum, Tipps
Henrik has done a very nice checklist:
http://blog.crisp.se/henrikkniberg/2008/02/01/1201823760000.html
This often sparks interesting discussions and helps people come up
with concrete ways to improve their process. These kinds of checklists
seem really helpful to people new to Scrum, as long as we remind them
that these aren’t strict “compliance rules”…
The other checklist, a nice booklet you can download here:

Pitfalls in Scrum

Some people want to know what can go wrong using Scrum. Personally I do not believe that this approach is helpfull. A lot of things will go wrong when you try to “implement” Scrum. Maybe the idea to implement Scrum is wrong in total. Can you implement new thinking? You might be able to change [...]
