Show Forty One features
an interview with Ken Schwaber. We
discussed SCRUM and organizational change.
OK, maybe discussion is a weak term, I asked questions and gathered
wisdom from the SCRUM master. If you are
interested in SCRUM specifically and agile in general this is a must listen
important interview.
Ken
Schwaber co-developed the Scrum process with Jeff Sutherland in the early 1990s
to help organizations struggling with complex development projects. One of the
signatories to the Agile Manifesto in 2001, he subsequently founded the
AgileAlliance, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the creation of Agile
software. He then founded the ScrumAlliance, a nonprofit organization dedicated
to expanding the understanding of Scrum.
A
30-year veteran of the software development industry (from bottle washer to
boss), he has written three books about Scrum: Agile
Software Development with Scrum, Agile Project
Management with Scrum, and The Enterprise and
Scrum.
