Scrum Methodology
Learn the Scrum Methodology
The Scrum methodology of agile software development marks a dramatic departure from waterfall management. In fact, Scrum and other agile processes were inspired by its shortcomings. The Scrum methodology emphasizes communication and collaboration, functioning software, and the flexibility to adapt to emerging business realities — all attributes that suffer in the rigidly ordered waterfall paradigm.

Great Free Guide to Scrum
Posted by admin under Scrum Basics
If you’re just beginning to learn about Scrum, you’re probably hungry for introductory materials that break it down to the basics. DZone frequently publishes “Refcardz,” pocket reference guides for developers on pertinent topics, from IDEs to programming languages. A few weeks ago, DZone published one of its best. Authored by Danube CST Michael James, it’s on Scrum and, best of all, it’s free.
Certainly, there is nuance involved in successfully managing projects with Scrum and, as James suggests at the end of the Refcard, the best way to learn Scrum is through a two-day ScrumMaster Certification course. Still, having a reference like this—authored by someone who has lived and breathed Scrum for years—is a very handy resource, indeed. It includes an overview of Scrum’s roles, meetings, and artifacts, as well as brief discussions of more advanced topics, such as scaling for large installations and related practices. Even if you’re a veteran practitioner of Scrum, I think you’ll see the value of a document like this, especially as an aid for helping new teams learn the ropes.
You can download the pdf below.

Refcard does not post a policy about how they will use my e-mail address, so I didn’t sign up. So, I can’t get the .pdf. Bummer.
And this site doesn’t post one, either, so I had to use a dummy address here, too.

Sorry, Dan. Unfortunately, there are copyright restrictions that prevent us from re-publishing the Refcard here.
dan – I signed up and do not get spammed at all. If you worry about stuff like that, why not get a spam account like hotmail or gmail or yahoo and have them sent there? That’s what I do. That way, I get the content, can save it, and if they spam me, no matter because that account is for that. (Regardless, they don’t at this company from what I’ve seen. I edit my settings right away.)
