OK.
I am overwhelmed right now.
So I am going to admit I am human (smile) and will post a new cartoon next week.
The good news is I have had a GREAT week working with teams and learning tons.
About a lot of things.
My apologies.

Hi all.
The topic this week is about keeping things simple.
And picking one thing at a time and doing it well.
Very well.
Tonight I am writing a little bit about it.
Let’s see if I can actually get the comic strip up tomorrow (when I make my drive over to Portland, Maine).
You’ll see.
Hmmm…
As complicated as this week seems to me and you.
There is always a simple solution.
Really.

Hola.
Been a long day for me. The comic strip is ready.
Sometimes this seems like the simple thing.
Maybe that makes sense :).
I’ll post it tomorrow.

… if anyone is interested in meeting for breakfast or dinner I’ll be on the road this week.
M-T-W in Hartford, CT (Actually Windsor)
T in Portland, Maine.
Let me know. Individually or in small groups… let me know!
Thank you,

Welcome back to yet another week at www.implementingscrum.com.
So.
A few weeks ago had someone in a class explain this. He was trained as an Antropologist — not a software developer.
Interesting dude. Really.
Let’s say your current organizational system is like a river flowing down stream.
How rough varies.
Introduce change.
Any change.
Just one.
Scrum for example (funny how that gets worked into this conversation, eh?).
Pretend that change is a boat (or canoe, as drawn!).
Insert a Chicken and Pig for some humor (smile).
Following along with me?
Now.
Paddle.
What happens when you stop paddling?
The river flushes you back down stream.
That’s the gist.
Easy brilliance.
Does this apply in your current situation?
If you are about to just embark on this journey, remember to always keep paddling!
Stop paddling and you have made a choice to give it up — and make room for something else to take its place.
Gotta run! Please send comments, questions, criticisms, ideas, or whatever here.
You can also enter The Scrum Community to discuss this entry and other Scrum topics. Thank you!
