Have you ever seen a promising project get abandoned right when it seemed like it was getting ready to launch, or a project that always seemed like it was going to launch "next month," but took many months or even years before it actually launched? Scrum may be the solution to such woes. It is a project management methodology that, when applied faithfully, will increase the rate at which your project is completed, the enjoyment your team has while working on it, and its commercial success.
Converting to scrum can be a challenge for any team, but it is particularly painful for part time, virtual, and student teams. Successful Scrumbutt helps teams quickly learn scrum project management and adapt it to their unique situations. Author Noah Dyer illustrates key techniques for maintaining a team's productivity and enthusiasm for a project across its lifetime in fun, engaging, and slightly irreverent ways.
Successful Scrumbutt includes:
- Step by step instructions to convert projects to scrum.
- Spreadsheets that can be used to manage projects of any complexity with scrum.
- Planning poker cards that make scrum planning activities easier and feel more official.
- Thought provoking questions to teach new scrum practitioners how to find creative solutions to the problems they will face.
