I want to tell you about the joys of automation today - the joy of having your test run just whenever you save one of your files.
Because this is the thing - you cannot deliver high quality software with your Scrum implementation every month without having great engineering practices. If you don't have them, you can still deliver something every month and know exactly where you stand - but the quality will not be there.

Finally! After so many years working on projects that simply didn’t work, today there is a methodology for delivering projects on time and budget: Scrum. Many companies have made the change and proven that it works. But is it easy? No, Scrum is not easy. To follow the principles of Scrum requires courage, complete transparency and the confidence to make mistakes. Only people who openly and confidently handle the issues that arise in order learn from them will be successful in using Scrum to develop software and systems in the long run.

Im neuen IX Magazin (Heft 6/2009) ist der erste, von vermutlich 4, Artikel zum Thema Scrum erschienen.
"Auch wenn Scrum mittlerweile auf eine fast 15jährige Erfolgsgeschichte zurückblicken kann, betrachten viele Entwickler diese agile Projektmanagementmethode immer noch mit großer Skepsis. Eine Protagonistin dieses Verfahrens argumentiert vehement dafür, Scrum auf jeden Fall einmal auszuprobieren."
So viel zum Aufmacher des Artikels. Im Moment gibts den Artikel nur als Print Ausgabe.
