The next big thing

May 23rd, 2008

The hot topic in the scrum community is scale.

Size may offer more opportunity (it may not) but it demands overhead and compromise.

Necessity forces us to skip to advanced topics but there are so many fundamentals to master:

recruiting and developing talented and diverse individuals,
forming collaborative and highly productive teams,
crafting ambitious work at sustainable pace,
excellence, invention, and joy that benefits ourselves, our peers, our customers, and end users.

I’m not as interested in learning how to work with more people as I am in learning how to invent valuable software really, really well.

I am an executive manager, software developer, father and husband trying to do more good than harm.

Working to spend each day doing a little less crap and a little more not crap than the day before. Without delegating my crap to others.

Aspiring to pride in my accom- plishments and pride in who I become as I attain them.
