I got the chance to sit down with Dr. Jeff Sutherland last week. What an honor! It was at an event put on by Digital LA.
At the event, Jeff went over the basics of Scrum and some general insights.
Among his many pearls of wisdom - I enjoyed that he reminded us of the MIT slogan "Demo or Die". It's so important to show progress. Although apparently MIT changed that mantra to imagine and realise in the 90s.
It was perfect timing, as I gave my first lecture on Scrum that very weekend.
My lecture btw, went off without a hitch. I entitled it Scrum 101. Here's a look at the syllabus:
- A brief history of Scrum and its significance
- A functional understanding of the framework
- Basic instruction on implementing Scrum in your next small team project
I was able to cover my material in an hour and 15 minutes. However, I think I'll plan on a two hour timebox in the future. After the material was covered, we had a Q&A session that lasted for an additional hour.
