[news] 1/3 of Detroit’s neighborhoods are empty

Capitalism and greed eat their children. The once proud “Motor City” collapses after investing in the wrong industries for decades.  Population went down from 1.8 million in the 1950s to 900.000 in 2008, and the city now plans to demolish 10.000 homes.

[Vid] You know SCRUM? Think again...

I meet a lot of people who think they know something about SCRUM, and why SCRUM doesn’t work.
And if I ask “Why do you think that?”… I get funny answers like:

“we tried it, we had our daily scrum… every other Friday. ”
“there is never enough time in the timebox.”
“What do you mean: talk to each other?”

There is only one way to understand SCRUM: learn from the best.

You can start right here by watching this Google Techtalk about SCRUM held by Ken Schwaber.
Do it!
