Eureka: The Daily Scrum

The daily scrum standing meetings usually consist of talking about what you worked on the day before, what you plan on doing today, and what is stopping you from accomplishing your daily goals? Teams that do not run daily scrum meetings are not taking advantage of the great opportunities of communication and team atmosphere that is created by them.

My next assignment

Being the scrum master at your company is not something to take lightly. The idea of just taking a class or reading a few blogs and forums will prepare you for the challenges of being the leader of your agile/scrum project is not a wise one. There are many things to consider and we are going to talk about all of them.

You can head over to Part 1 of the new scrum blog that I am going to be writing for in the years ahead.
