Amy, The initial use of the word "Scrum" was used in 1987 to describe time-boxed, self-organizing, teams in product development. Jeff suggested the word to me ...
Amy- To my knowledge, Scrum was first documented by Hirotaka Takeuchi and Ikujiro Nonaka in 1986 in Harvard Business Review (Jan/Feb issue).[The article is...
Hi Amy- Yes, I am currently using Scrum. My company is Mountain Goat Software, which does software consulting and outsourced product development. Right now I...
Ken, Mike, etc. Good points. In addition, since the early 90s (94), some of us advocated and wrote about the need for self-organizing teams in software ...
Excellent points, Mike. The parts I found most enlightening in your and Ken's book was all the explanation about why Scrum works. I've had a fair amount of...
... Wow, you are definitely in a very small circle of people. I only know about a couple of dozen people that actually read the book and maybe a handful of...
Well, I took "Wicked Problems" pretty much at face value right off--- I threw a team together, gave them a little pep talk as described in that book and let...
Your Economics teacher reminds me of a bright Math professor that was teaching us PDEs (partial diff. equations) as undergraduates. He came one day to the...
Hi Guys, I'm glad to see someone mention Ed Berard. He was a great help to me on several occasions -- very insightful and a fantastic memory for details. I ...
Mike, You may feel being long-winded, but I read it with pleasure. It proves to me that environments like these lists are vital to learn. I read the book from ...

... Unfortunately we can't be at conferences drinking beer in a bar and talking to good friends all the time :-) Typically that's the only environment where...
Meyer's OOSC was, and probably still is, the best book on OO available. I've had two projects that were so troublesome I honestly thought about telling...
Mike, this is wonderful stuff. Thanks for writing it. I wonder why you use the term `negative' feedback loop? Having been a control engineer, I recall that we...
... I borrowed this terminology mainly from Electronics and Biology but you are right, I am not sure that it is used in process control. The distinction is...
It is great PR, so, yes, great going. But, boy, did those articles lack substance. I didn't read anything that would compell me to change what I am doing...

Right on the head!! Well said!!! I couldn't believe it when the Computerworld editor told me that everyone at Giga said, "Well, we already do that, same old...
Best would be getting Ken to go on the Oprah show. I make all my technology decisions based on advice from Oprah. Perhaps if we all emailed Oprah with the...
Ken- Why do you think it is that so many people have that reaction ("sounds good, but we already do that") to Scrum? I've thought about it a little bit before...
