Re: Fw: [scrumdevelopment] Digest Number 317

[Friam mailing list]

This is right on the cutting edge, apparently.

Today I received a glossy brochure for SD Best Practices 2003 (looks
like they bought the IEEE mailing list) and it has several sessions
about Scrum in it:

        You will gain an understanding of empirical processes,
        emergence, self-organization, and adaptation, along with
        a detailed understanding of Scrum principles, flow, roles,
        artifacts, and operation.

I guess we were in the wrong application of complexity and chaos, the
real money is in software project management.  Scrum is the agile
management methodology that goes with agile software projects.

Here's another good one from another session:

        The agile principles state another [definition of simple code] -
        "the art of maximizing the amount of work not done."

I wonder how the thermodynamics of that works out?

It looks like the brochure is online at www.sdexpo.com.

Mike Beedle was at the Biological Framings conference at SFI that some of us
attended. Here was his position paper for the conference
<http://www.livingmetaphor.org/investigations-as-foundation.html>.
