The Limits and Misunderstandings of Scrum
Mon, 11/24/2008 - 15:44 — WikiSysopThis chapter covers several two general sets of beliefs I have encountered which impede learning Scrum effectively. The first involves misunderstandings about Scrum itself: Things that people believe but that are not true about Scrum. The second involves concepts that Scrum does seem to advocate but which are not effective. Errors in understanding always be cast aside before the true intentions can be grasped. Whenever we discover limitations of our thought, or in this case, the thought process we are learning (Scrum), that becomes a place where we can expand our thinking.

The Enterprise View
Wed, 11/19/2008 - 10:37 — Net Objectives ...How does one go about scaling Agile to the enterprise? Is it better to start out small and scale up or to start at the top and work down? Both approaches have their own set of interesting challenges. After considering what normally happens in each approach, it should become clear that something else is needed. Lean provides the guidance needed to create an Agile enterprise.
