Hmmm, typically in in-house IT departments, we always seem to have more projects at one go, than we would like, or even hope to service effectively. What this...
Happy new year, Sanjeev ... ... I share this concern quite deeply. To have a team working on more than one project at a time is disadvantageous in most every ...
Happy new year to you too, Ron - I did toy with the idea of becoming scrum master for all the (16 or so) projects we have going on, but came to the conclusion...
The fine line for me was that I tried on one side hard to instill the team self-management and commitment. But on the other side, I had frequent 1-on-1 ...
Hi Daniel, Well yes it does, but be careful to take me as representative of agilists in general (I'm a learning-lurker-agilist, if anything at all.) I can't...
Heya all, After some 3000 CSMs have been trained the effects are becoming visible in the world. The Squirrelburger is now on many menus and former Qwest...

Hi Keith ... Yep! I think that is the message. ... I think we have all experienced something like this. It is very difficult to explain to someone doing it why...
... I like using several projections. We are not running full scrum, so I usually only have data on a weekly basis. I have projected the burn down with one...
