2009 Session: Balancing Anarchy and Cooperation with Scrum in the Large
Wednesday, 16:40 - 17:30
Track: Agile Ways
If everybody on a 100-person project should talk to everybody else, we'd have to work overtime just to cover the meetings. Of course, this is before we start making any progress. Less meetings mean more progress.
At the same time, everybody works towards the same goal. If we don't talk to each other, we will run in separate directions.
In this talk, I will use my experience as architect for 1/4 of a large project to address the balance between coordination and progress.
Prerequisites
General software development experience.
Expectations
What it is like to use Scrum on a large project.
