Interested in becoming a Certified ScrumMaster? Come to my next workshop!
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!

This only happens once (more if you are using multiple computers). Once you are in the system, everything is good to go after that.
