Location: Project Management track
Time: 2007-11-14 14.00
Level: Intermediate
Dr. Jeff Sutherland, PatientKeeper ,USA
Jeff started the first Scrum at Easel Corporation in 1993 and worked with Scrum Co-Creator Ken Schwaber, to formalize the Scrum development process at OOPSLA'95. In the same year, Sutherland provided Kent Beck all background information on the creation of Scrum. XP engineering practices then evolved along with SCRUM and the two leading Agile development processes work well together. Scrum and XP are the most widely used Agile processes worldwide and their creators are authors of the Agile Manifesto. Jeff is CTO and Worldwide Scrum Consulting Practice Manager for PatientKeeper. His company started Scrum seven years ago as a startup and involves the whole company in the Scrum process including senior management. He leads many of his Scrum Certification courses at PatientKeeper where the Chief Product Owner reviews the PatientKeeper Product Backlog and explains how to run a MetaScrum of stakeholders and how to ship dozens of production releases of software every year. Jeff has been VP of Engineering and/or CTO for 9 software product companies, developing Scrum in 4 of them and introducing today's standard Scrum methodology to 5 of them. As CTO of PatientKeeper and IDX, he used Scrum to capture industry leadership for mobile application platforms in healthcare, enabling physicians to enhance revenue, reduce cost, and improve patient care.
Project Management with Scrum
Google will here be used as an example of going from no process to Scrum and one of my many waterfall clients for examples of going from Waterfall to Scrum. The project management function is changed in Scrum so it actual works by the way the Product Owner prioritizes the work and how the ScrumMaster leads the team. So your Product Owners need to shift their mindset from the GM/Ford/Chrysler way (which doesn't work) to the Toyota way (which does). Their job descriptions will change.
