SCRUM Process – Software Development to Organizational Management

Improving The Self-Organizing Capability of Teams – Scrum Process

High performance depends on the self-organizing capability of teams. Understanding how this works and how to avoid destroying self-organization is a challenge. Until you understand complex adaptive systems and how Toyota works it is difficult to improve team velocity.

Jeff discusses three core topics:

1. Shock therapy as a strategy for booting up teams.

2. The Cosmic Stopping Problem, otherwise known as the choice uncertainty principle.

3. Punctuated equilibrium – how software systems evolve Take advantage of these concepts and you may find a way to achieve the ultimate potential of a team.

This session will be a “Deep Agile” presentation keying off topics presented to engineers at MIT.

About The Scrum Process and Why It Is Called Scrum

Scrum Process - Organizational Management

Scrum is an Agile framework for completing complex projects. Scrum originally was formalized for software development projects, but it works well for any complex, innovative scope of work. The possibilities are endless. The Scrum framework is deceptively simple.

High-Performance Business Teams

When Jeff Sutherland created the scrum process in 1993, he borrowed the term “scrum” from an analogy put forth in a 1986 study by Takeuchi and Nonaka, published in the Harvard Business Review. In that study, Takeuchi and Nonaka compare high-performing, cross-functional teams to the scrum formation used by Rugby teams.

Scrum is the leading agile development methodology, used by Fortune 500 companies around the world. The Scrum Alliance exists to transform the way we tackle complex projects, bringing the Scrum framework and agile principles beyond software development to the broader world of work.
