This is the easiest thing for you to do today.
Really. It’s that simple.

​Get Started Starting Scrum.  Today.

Here are a few professional tips to remember when starting Scrum:

• Scrum is not an acronym for anything and Scrum is not a “Silver Bullet“.

• While the word Scrum comes from the sport Rugby, there is nothing violent in the real world​ of implementing Scrum on your projects.

• There is a real world difference between the words “Scrum” and “Agile.” Don’t worry about that right now.

• Scrum is not about technology or agile tool vendors trying to make you Agile.

• Do not try “Scaling Scrum at the Enterprise level” if you cannot implement Scrum with one team yet.

• Scrum sounds like a pretty funny word, huh?

• Scrum is all about communication between people. And. It starts with some difficult conversations about prioritization.

• You — or your boss and organization — cannot try “Managing Scrum.”
