Diets Don't Work - Getting Sustainable Results with Scrum
Jim York, President & Co-Founder, FoxHedge, Ltd.
Date & Time/Location: 3-27-09, 11:30am-12:30pm, Salon A
When the going gets tough, the tough get going. Unfortunately, some of them go back to their former process that didn't work very well and whose ineffectiveness led them to try Scrum in the first place. These regressing organizations treat Scrum like the latest fad diet. You know, the one that promises to solve all your problems. The reality is that Scrum doesn't solve problems. People do. Unless you are willing to tackle the underlying causes of the problem, it will still remain. Scrum requires hard work.

This session discusses some of the reasons why organizations fail to use Scrum effectively and suggests several success criteria for sustaining results with Scrum.

Why attendees might be interested in this session:
Organizations using Scrum to solve their delivery problems often don't understand the complexity or extent of the problem they are trying to solve. This unintentional misunderstanding can significantly reduce the benefit they could achieve using Scrum. This presentation explores reasons behind a narrow application of Scrum and provides guidance for a more effective "holistic" approach.

Target Audience:
All audience levels can benefit from this presentation.

Attendees will learn:

  • To recognize common pitfalls and gaps in organizations' adoption approach for Scrum
  • To effectively identify the problem that you're trying to solve using Scrum
  • Seven critical success factors for sustaining results with Scrum
