Last week, I stumbled upon Ken Schawaber's original OOPSLA paper. I barely recognized Scrum. Scrum has evolved and continues to do so. But of course, we only read about the successful mutations. Cheers, Peter Hi Doug,

Here are my thoughts. We often need to change things or reinvent them ourselves. That is probably the nature of understanding and taking ownership for something. If someone does my thinking for me I will never really understand the "why" behind it. I keep the scrum framework clean and light so that I can remember where I have been. I restart my head when it gets confused. For new folks out of the gate that are not used to a strong empirical thought process , my advice is to use "Scrum" as is and avoid modification, go slow. The place you will get in trouble the quickest is in the area of organizational change. Your desire to run through all of the issues you see will be a strong temptation that will get you into trouble fast. People don't change that fast(self included) and neither do big organizations! give yourself and them time to learn from the Scrum Framework. It is never done teaching you. - Doug Shimp http://advancedtopicsinscrum.com Have I modified it? Sure! I also have wished I hadn't :) I read the link. Here are my thoughts.
