The Ableton application developers build a LEGO city using Scrum as part of the Scrum training.
In a second round of training the developers at Ableton have constructed another LEGO city using Scrum. Using 5 minute bursts of planning, building and retrospecting, the teams transform the high-level wishes of the Product Owner into structures.
Instead of writing detailed, low-level specifications, the Product Owner uses User Stories: descriptions of functionality from the end-users perspective. LEGO stories look like this:

Good day everybody,
I hope you are all fine and nobody is still stucked somewhere because of the vulcano (I can spell the name ;-))
Please find below date and time of the next Scrumtisch.
One Topic
I had a nice talk with Martin and Friedemann, who are working for Ableton and who are implenting Scrum right now in their teams. They agreed, to give us an overview on how they started, challanges, good and bad experiences and answering questions.
Please let me know -as usual- if you are coming.
All the Best
Marion
