Jeff Sutherland: Agile Software Development in the Enterprise
Scrum started in small companies and achieved dramatic results with hyperperforming teams. This presentation will show how several companies have used hyperproductivity to generate extraordinary financial returns. It will also describe how Scrum scales up for large companies and outsourced, distributed teams, and how venture capitalists are using Scrum to improve returns in their investment portfolios. Scrum is used in large financial organizations like Vanguard, Wachovia, Fidelity, Standard and Poor’s, and many others. Some strategies for getting started with Scrum will be described.
