Hi all,
Quick update on life in my world… Welcome all new subscribers (via email and RSS). I like to try and update everyone at least once-a-month so you know where I will be and where we can meet!
I am on my way to London in a few hours and will be facilitating a free talk tomorrow night. If you are around, please stop by!
I am then teaching in London for a few days (a few seats still open – contact me) and then will play tourist on Saturday, leaving on Sunday. After arriving home Sunday night, I’ll be heading to Raleigh, NC (actually, Cary) on Monday night to teach a class there on Tuesday and Wednesday. I’ll be home with my boys for a few days (then they go on a cool vacation) and I am headed to Boise, Idaho and Phoenix, Arizona. I’ll be on the road around the world a lot (as usual) for the remainder of the year. Please contact me if you’d like to meet in person.
I have just received the next comic strip, which I should be posting while I am in London. If you enjoy gummy bears this one is for you!
I am starting to vet jobs for distribution at www.implementingscrum.com/scrum-jobs. Take a look there and let me know if it interests you. It is free. Also… it is international (anyone interested in Vietnam?). If you have some REAL jobs within your organization, this is the place to let some very high qualified people know about them!
There are some great things coming — as usual. I always want to hear your comments so please keep those coming to me too.
Have a great day/evening.
Change your world today.

Hi,
Last week I spent a lot of time on improving my own skills… so we’ll see how that plays out in the future!
I have been talking about connecting people looking for Scrum Jobs with REAL people who have Scrum Job Openings in their Organization.
Over the past few weeks I have been silently getting names of people who are looking for Scrum Jobs. I expect now that anyone who visits www.implementingscrum.com/scrum-jobs and is looking for a job WILL go out and do this. NOW.
Also… and here is the challenge… if you are in an organization who is looking for a person with Scrum Jobs skills, please go to www.implementingscrum.com/scrum-jobs and see if I can help you make a connection.
What is the fee for this?
FREE. Zero. Zilch. Nada.
Why am I doing this?
Mainly good Karma.
Pass it on! Twitter this link. Retwitter it if you see it. Put it up on FaceBook. E-mail it to your friends. Start to create some buzzzzzz for this. Please.
So… can you help me meet the challenge of actually making the ultimate hook-up of at least one person looking for a Scrum Job with a person in an organization who needs a qualified person here.
Transparency.
Trust.
Walking what I teach…
Let’s see how it works!
Good luck.

Hi all.
The chat test today during the two hour-long sessions was a success.
I learned many things, and, as all things we do with Scrum the next iteration will be even better.
I can go into the retrospective we had — but suffice it to say that there were enough in the “cons” section (versus “pro”) for trying another tool.
So.
From 13:00 – 14:00 EST (GMT-4), Friday, June 12, 2009, we will test a new page (it is located at www.implementingscrum.com/chat). And a new chat system. Feel free to go in and take a look at it ahead of time; however, I will plan on being there for an hour in the afternoon to discuss a Product Backlog for the ImplementingScrum site.
As a stakeholder, I’d really appreciate like your input.
Tony is back from a short vacation and we will have yet another comic strip out early next week.
And.
I’ll make an announcement on Friday night that will put another service “live” on this site. And yes, as usual, it is still all free. I do love what I do for a living, and thank all my clients (and future clients) for the work I get so that I can give back to the community through initiatives like this site, www.implementingscrum.com.
And hey… if you are not following me on Twitter yet… do so on the right side of the screen in the sidebar. It is 2009 and there is so much GREAT stuff on that system about agile and scrum. Stuff you should not miss! Including real-time announcements that I do not make via the blog entry or e-mail (it is usually THAT time sensitive!).
I hope to see you online to discuss the Product Backlog for the site at 13:00 EST (GMT-4) at the following address: www.implementingscrum.com/chat.
Thank you.

Hi all,
I want to try a new service so if you have time Thursday, June 11, 2009, to try this with me — I will be online from 10:00AM – 11:00AM and then 2:00PM – 3:00PM (Both are in Eastern Time (GMT-4) – I am currently in Richmond, Virginia, USA).
It is an interactive chat session that may have some potential for all of us.
See you Thursday! Let’s see where this leads…

Hi,
Welcome back to a new week at www.implementingscrum.com.
This week (tomorrow night, actually) I will introduce the first of a comic strip in a three part series (of course punctuated by other blog postings) over the next three weeks.
As usual, this blog posting can be consumed and enjoyed alone.
However.
As with all the comic strips Tony and I have published here over the years, please remember that you should take these in moderation.
And context.
And.
Use each one of them to start having some tough conversations about Software Development in your environment today.
Hope you have a great week, and enjoy the NEW comic strip coming to you tomorrow (I am excited…. FINALLY… I know… I know….).
Thank you!
