Over the last couple of years, I’ve written quite a lot about Scrum. It’s certainly my agile methodology of choice. I love the fact it’s so easy to apply, straight over the top of whatever technical or engineering practices you already use. Here’s a quick round-up of some of my most popular posts about Scrum… How To Implement Scrum in
I’ve just stumbled across this genius piece of work from Scott Ambler, who recently posted here on All About Agile about agile project management and the challenges of agile project initiation. Those who’ve followed my blog for a while will already know that I think Certified Scrum Master training isn’t worth the paper it’s written on! Don’t get me wrong.

I’m back. After a long, hard-earned holiday. While I was away, I received this interesting video from Hamid Shojaee at AxoSoft. The video is a whistle-stop tour of Scrum in under 10 minutes! For anyone curious to know about the basics of Scrum, it’s a neat introduction in a very short time. I do, however, have a few comments to

We also wanted to understand how consistently we had implemented agile across many development teams. I
One of the readers of my blog (someone with the id ‘phani’) has kindly posted an example Product Backlog and Sprint Backlog on the allaboutagile Google Group. I’ve taken a look at them. They’re not exactly how we do it, but I think they are very nice examples. Note that the Product Backlog has Sprint numbers across the top, so
