The talk is on Scrum and is really a primer or refresh of what Scrum is. There will be several more videos coming that will start to make up a knowledge track that you can follow through.

I hope you enjoy. Please leave a comment on your experience.

Look for more videos coming soon from a wide audience of practitioners, coaches and trainers.

Download Scrum In A Nutshell

excerpt… “While the Stakeholders are the most important people for the project, the most important person on the Scrum Team is the Product Owner (PO). The Product Owner works with the Stakeholders, represents their interests to the Team, and is held accountable by them for the success of the Team. The Product Owner provides direction and goals for the Team, and prioritizes what will be done.”

  • How much is the PO truely seprate from the team?
  • Is there a single wringlable neck?
  • Is the team / PO a symbiotic ecosystem with a centralized model for detemining direction? thoughts?
