Scrum
Posted by phdblogmeister on November 19, 2007
Today I learned about Scrum, a new way of thinking about Project Management. The video I watched was located here (a lecture @ Google). In addition I found some links on the Internet which included
- http://www.controlchaos.com
- http://groups.yahoo.com/group/scrumdevelopment
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anchoring
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrum_%28development%29
Key findings from the Google video included:
indicator of future performance based on sactual to date
the “velocity of release”
Quotes from the video:
- When we are told to do more, we cut quality without telling a soul… - not a good thing according to the author
- 35% of all requirements change within the duration of any given project (due to 25 years of using the waterfall method)
- Scrum, you must deliver one customer facing functionality component within every sprint
Also, one last video on Scrum (with a good into soundtrack, but bad acting) I found is located here.
Enjoy!
