High Moon Studios – Scrum. Humorous and serious at the same time. 1.5 minutes.

We band of brothers – Kenneth Branagh, doing that famous speech from Henry V.  A feeling just like your Scrum Team has (we hope). Go to about 2 min 20 secs in.

Websites We Recommend

Our first six recommendations.

Ken Schwaber’s old site – This is the old ‘controlchaos’ site. An excellent source from the co-creator of Scrum.

Jeff Sutherland’s site – This is the site for Scrum Inc., Jeff Sutherland’s firm.  Also an excellent source, from the other co-creator of Scrum.

Agile Alliance – The site where the many strands of Agile come together.

Scrum Alliance – The site for Certified ScrumMasters.

Mike Cohn’s site – This site has a lot of excellent, practical advice. Very down to earth. Many good articles and presentations.

Agile Manifesto – This is the Agile Manifesto pf 2001.  On a link you can also see the Agile Principles, and a description of how the manifesto (not my favorite word) came to be written. We are grateful for the courage of these pioneers.

For additional websites, see here:

Ron Jeffries’ site – This is a great site for XP and related Agile advice.

WikiWikiWeb – This is the site of the original wiki. Wikis were invented by Ward Cunningham. He and and now others have created this site. Ward remains one of the three key proponents of XP. The site is known as WikiWikiWeb or Ward’s Wiki.

Ward’s Wiki – This is the page on Ward’s Wiki where Ward Cunningham (I think) provides his roadmap to XP. Do look around the wiki. Lots of interesting stuff.

Wikipedia site – This is a site you probably heard about before you knew what a wiki was. Pretty darn good encyclopedia. Great example of a wiki. Self-organization is one underlying principle, in common with Agile.

Martin Fowler – Martin Fowler is a very bright guy, with much to say. This is a link to his web article on “the new methodology” (namely, agile). Recently updated. Look around also.

Norm Kerth – This man has some great insights on Retrospectives. Here is his Prime Directive.

Scrum Reference Card – There are several like this. This one’s pretty good, by Michael James.

William Wake – He has some great information and suggestions. I like his Scrum on one page, for example. He has many other useful ideas for Scrum Development in this Scrum Training Videos.
