Show Forty One features an interview with Ken Schwaber. We
discussed SCRUM and organizational change. OK, maybe
discussion is a weak term, I asked questions and gathered wisdom
from the SCRUM master. If you are interested in SCRUM
specifically and agile in general this is a must listen important
interview.
Ken Schwaber co-developed the Scrum process with Jeff Sutherland in
the early 1990s to help organizations struggling with complex
development projects. One of the signatories to the Agile Manifesto
in 2001, he subsequently founded the AgileAlliance, a nonprofit
organization dedicated to the creation of Agile software. He then
founded the ScrumAlliance, a nonprofit organization dedicated to
expanding the understanding of Scrum.
A 30-year veteran of the software development industry (from bottle
washer to boss), he has written three books about Scrum: Agile
Software Development with Scrum, Agile Project Management with
Scrum, and The Enterprise and Scrum.
