14. Unlike in sport, scrum encourages you
to be always sprinting so you can deliver
working software, while continuously
learning and improving.

15. Agile manifesto
Individuals and interactions over processes and tools.
Working software over comprehensive documentation.
Customer collaboration over contract negotiation.
Responding to change over following a plan.

16. • Working solo; the tech mogul ideal
• Having to know it all
• Change is not good, you need to have a plan and
stick to it
• Managers and meetings get in the way of work
@jennybeaumont #wcus
Cultural hurdles and
stereotypes

17. • Empowers cross-functional teams to self-
organize
• Embraces change as a natural part of the
iterative process
• Clearly defines roles and ceremonies that are
value and goal oriented

22. In practice
• Client is not engaged, not available
• Team members do not live up to their engagement
• Fixed scope
• Unclear requirements
• Communication problems
• Remote teams
