Scrum Methodology
Learn Scrum
The Scrum approach to agile software development marks a dramatic departure from waterfall management. Scrum and other agile methods were inspired by its shortcomings. Scrum emphasizes collaboration, functioning software, team self management, and the flexibility to adapt to emerging business realities.

Scrum Users Group Update
Posted by admin under Uncategorized
If you missed our original post on this topic, InfoQ has published a follow-up to the Scrum Users Group controversy here. After the Scrum Alliance issued a notification to Scrum users group nationwide that it held rights to the use of the phrase “Scrum users group,” a wave of confusion ensued. The Alliance’s Cory Foy weighed in on our comments section to better explain what was happening. It seems that Foy has now been appointed “community liaison” and will interface with the various users groups to help Scrum continue to flourish on a grassroots level. Key to this outreach effort is an inclusive mailing list to get the word out about events and groups, while generally fostering a dialogue focused on Scrum. Sounds like the situation’s definitely improving, but InfoQ reporter Mark Levison still concludes his article by wondering if anything’s really changed.
This seems like a step in the right direction to me. What do you think?
