Hi All
Im in the middle of helping to implement agile for an organisation who have just started to use scrum.
So far so bad,
There doesn't seem to be any real though gone into it, literally a few scrum boards have gone up with" to do, In Progress and Done swim lanes". There are 5 dev teams in total who work on the core backend code and platforms.
The attitude among the development team is that they will work it out as they go along and that it's failrly easy to to do scrum.
My view is that you need to standardise the scrum process, standardise your configuration tools, (TFS), internal wikis and that each team should be flexible within certain boundaries. At the moment all the back logs look different on TFS, some dev teams are following "some" elements of scrum and my personal view it has multiple points of failure and people will start to point the finger at scrum.
I champion the fact they have taken the initiative shows there is potential for self management but at the same time question the approach.
Thoughts.
