05-11-2008Quick Poll: Who is doing Scrum in the German speaking region?
22-12-2008Once again, we are pleased to welcome to the Scrum Breakfast in Zurich speakers from abroad with real world experience introducing Scrum into large organizations.
Christoph “Krishan” Mathis and Simon Roberts will describe their approach to Enterprise Scrum based on their experiences introducing Scrum in traditional organizations in the UK and Germany. They will touch on the following topics during the talk:
- How to use the original unmodified Scrum framework
- How to augment Scrum by specific best practices for project chartering, agile engineering and embedding into the needs of corporate governance and control.
- How the introduction of Scrum inevitably has an impact on an organization’s culture, leadership style, job definitions etc.
- Scaling Scrum
- Managing the transition to Scrum from a change management perspective
- Pitfalls and key success factors for a successful transition
Using a metaphor of “Lighting Beacons” to describe their approach, they will tell the story of how they introduced Scrum to a major financial institution.
