Thanks Michael. Always nice to know about “the competition.” Of course, they get the Big Bucks. But we get the glory. Or something.

Great to be on the Planet. Hope you are enjoying The Donald. America’s gift to the cosmos.

Subject: [OSList] open space, enterprise scrum, and business agility?

 

hi all, 

 

i spent last week learning about something called enterprise scrum, an approach being developed by mike beedle, one of the original agile manifesto signatories.  it allows the scrum project management practice to be stretched across large products or portfolios, the whole of a company's IT work, or even across the whole of the business.  in the last case, he calls it "business agility."  

 

here's the open space connection:  all of scrum, from single teams to whole organizations runs on putting all the most important things to do and address on the wall.  imagine that.  our participants often sort their issues by day/time and mike's approaches run on what he calls a "canvas" which is pretty much a big wall of issues sorted by type of work and priority.




these canvas walls persist and evolve over time, getting reviewed and improved, as the work gets done.   it looks an awful lot like what we might call ongoing open space, which i think is pretty exciting.

 

mike will be running some enterprise scrum and business agility training programs coming up very soon in germany (next week or two in berlin, i think), but also in chicago and new york during many months this year.  i will find out the details if anyone is interested.

 

this is maybe a too-technical and/or ongoing tangent to our usual conversations on the oslist, so mailto:michael at michaelherman.com directly if you're working with busienss/technical groups and want to learn more about what mike is doing?  

 

thanks, michael
