Questions are always good. I think I’m dealing with some clients who are a bit more self-aware, who desire to “do Scrum correctly,” and who perhaps are apprehensive about doing it correctly because of some things my colleagues and I have said to them.

Because the mix will be a blurry amalgam and the unique flavor of the individual ingredients will get lost in the mix. In general it’s even worse. Not only the flavor and the envisioned benefits get lost, the total ‘product’ may be even well less performant than the sum would suggest.  Gunther Verheyen Sun, 18 Dec 2011 12:37:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:85 http://www.scrum.org/About/All-Articles/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/84/White-paper-published-on-Scrumorg#Comments 0 http://www.scrum.org/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=102&ModuleID=441&ArticleID=84 http://www.scrum.org/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=84&PortalID=0&TabID=102 http://www.scrum.org/About/All-Articles/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/84/White-paper-published-on-Scrumorg The Scrum.org site has started showcasing more community content.  I have the distinction of authoring the first whitepaper listed in the Community Work section.  Rob Maher Sat, 17 Dec 2011 12:36:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:84 http://www.scrum.org/About/All-Articles/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/88/How-to-do-Agile-performance-reviews#Comments 0 http://www.scrum.org/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=102&ModuleID=441&ArticleID=88 http://www.scrum.org/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=88&PortalID=0&TabID=102 http://www.scrum.org/About/All-Articles/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/88/How-to-do-Agile-performance-reviews My last post of Performance reviews and Scrum left some readers unsatisfied. Brett send me an email where he comments: "So, while my heart leapt when I saw this link, sadly I was bitterly disappointed to discover that despite the fact its one of your most frequently asked questions, you didn’t actually answer it at all."

Instead they interact with a build system which analyzes dependency information and then orchestrates the overall build process. Yet build systems are often overlooked by industry and academia.   Scrum Admin Sun, 11 Dec 2011 12:44:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:89 http://www.scrum.org/About/All-Articles/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/19/A-Fresh-New-Look#Comments 0 http://www.scrum.org/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=102&ModuleID=441&ArticleID=19 http://www.scrum.org/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=19&PortalID=0&TabID=102 http://www.scrum.org/About/All-Articles/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/19/A-Fresh-New-Look Scrum.org has revamped its front page to make it easier for you to find the Scrum-related content you need.
