Doing scrum without knowing

-
Just stumbled upon two old pics. Couldn't help thinking that I am already doing scrum in SAP projects much longer than my current project which is often called the first SAP project using scrum in NL.

Here's one of a project in 2003:

And another one of a giant dashboard in 2004/2005:

Do not underestimate the power of simplified communication. A dashboard gives your team (and yourself) a great overview on where your project is standing. It doesn't have to be very difficult, a brown paper or a whiteboard and some post-its and there you go...

Hi Twan,

i'm not deep into scrum till now, but when i see these photos of the wall i'm wondering if this method can be used for project-teams that are working in different locations.

How are they able to see, change or add information from a different place to be an active part of the project?

Are there any electronic tools that you are using in this case without loosing the simplicity?

Best regards
Christian

Hi Christian,

Both pics were taken at a project with the complete team on the same location. There are several online dashboards available, such as http://www.smartusecase.com/TrinidadDashboard.ashx?HL=dashboard
Currently I have no experience using online dashboards.

Kind regards

Improve customer experience by integrating data to answer a common question like “When will this be available?” Learn how Shimano is using SAP Integration Suite to break down IT silo’s and deliver the right information at the right time to the right person. Shimano processes 12 million messages on a yearly basis and 75% of those interfaces are still point to point. They work perfectly fine, but maintenance is difficult. Shimano now modernizes its integration landscape to connect to customers (dealers) and logistic service providers using the Integration Suite of SAP Business Technology Platform. Do you want to know how much Shimano will save? Or how fast Shimano can connect to new customers/partners? You can find out in this episode of Business Innovation with SAP.

Professional Scrum Master \o/

Since 2009 I am a big fan of doing scrum , especially in SAP projects. I know there is a lot of fuzz going on around scrum, again especially in SAP projects ;-) But I am convinced that using scrum will really help you to fulfil your customer needs. Not the needs that have been defined some time ago, but the actual requirements to support business challenges. Requirements that can change along the way, just like business challenges. In the years since 2009 I've done a lot of talks on scrum , coached a lot of projects but 'forgot' to certify myself... So that was my personal challenge early May.
