Scrum Club Event a Success!

Creating an Agile Community

Last night’s Bootstrapping an Agile Team event was a great success with huge community turnout and engaging presentations by Christophe Louvion (Gorilla Nation), Scott Downey (MySpace) and George Shiltz (Big Visible). Event brainchild Amanda Ablelove described moderator Tony Wong as “a rockstar…he kept everyone in check and the audience involved, with a fine hand on reality.”

The presentations all shared a common thread and exposed the hard cold truth of projects: sometimes Scrum Fails.

AND, it can be HUGELY successful. Each presenter went on to give his opinion on how successful projects are won. Christophe placed emphasis on tracking metrics. Scott’s belief lay in the importance of goal setting. And George reminded us not to discount the amount of effort that needs to be exerted on change management.

Digital Onion recently published a real world one-pager on just this topic. Our answer to producing successful projects? LEADERSHIP. Read more over at our Case Studies or download the one-pager.
