Interesting Snippets

As I trawl the internet looking for Agile news and views I sometimes come across interesting snippets.

I like Henrik Knibergs blog

and his book Scrum and XP from the Trenches for which I will be publishing a review in the coming weeks. Nice one Henrik!

SCRUM Master Course

Certified SCRUM XXXX courses! I have grappled with this one for ages. Should I attend, Should I not attend? For one thing they are very expensive and I am not sure that it would teach me any more than I already know! But the decision has been made and I am off to Norway for a 2 day course in a few weeks time. Crazy I know! I did hope to attend a course in Cardiff but it was cancelled a few weeks prior to the course! Anyhow, the course in Oslo is with Ken Schwaber etc.  I figured I would get to ask quite a few decent questions - Scalability, implementation within organisations (aka changing a culture is beep beep hard!),  and types of project it is suitable for.

I have my own views on what SCRUM is best for and no doubt there will be disagreement. I am a firm believer in horses for courses! That there are home bases on which different type of methodologies thrive based on environment, project type etc. I’ll let you know the outcome. In the meantime SCRUM courses can be booked here - www.scrumalliance.org/training . By the way I have no financial or other interest in it!

Welcome to SCRUMLabs

Welcome to SCRUMLabs. If you have arrived whilst this BLOG is in the process of being set up then you will see a lot of changes over the coming weeks, days and dare I say it - hour and minutes!  I intend to create a BLOG that focusses on the use of SCRUM wherever you may be, and whatever environment you may be using it in.  In addition I will be performing (is that the right term!) Podcasts and as the Blog progresses I hope we will get to interview some movers and shakers in the real world.  So - in the first instance the featured BLOG will be this one - but it will get more enjoyable…trust me
