Scrum Shock Therapy
Björn Granvik, Jayway, Sweden
Scrum consists of a straightforward process, half a bunch of roles and a few artifacts. Sounds simple, but a majority of projects that call themselves Scrum fail the so-called Nokia Test!
This test is a set of straightforward questions designed to arrive at one response - Are We Scrum? Yes or No?
To make matters worse, most of the mistakes are on the simple side of things.
Scrum is fail-fast and self-organizing, a combination that makes for bad project starts. Both the team and management struggle to understand this new paradigm that does not readily fit their current set up.
The Therapy: Get off to a good start by directing the team with a careful set of good practices and a strict agreement that leaves little or no choice. The team can then, over a couple of iterations, gradually take command themselves.
Come hear about Scrum Shock Therapy. How does it work for companies like MySpace? Is this a faster, better way to get started with Scrum?
It might be the sweetest hard deal around!
