Scrum Manager Course – Day one
nov 19th, 2009 by cjbarroso

Awesome day! Juan Palacio is an excellent speaker, and is so concerned in your learn process that you cannot *not* learn.

The Manager course is an approach to that is different of everything I readed before. He focus in the part, in how to manage your company / department and the relationships of them. All the books I readed in the subject focus in the process himself or, at most, in the project aspect of the task. Juan gives us a new point of view in : applying the principles to the company as a whole.

While I was listening his speech, it occurs to me that I was doing something of this intuitively, as most of the practices we do before even know what’s agility. This makes me think about a subject that was not investigated yet, the interaction between packs and other groups organized with “traditional” approaches.

As I see, this is the next step of agility, in a path that is yet unknown but promisses much much more.

I’ll continue tomorrow, after the end of the course, and I hope I can publish some pics too.

One monday evening, the working site burned up. Yes. Totally. Computers. All the paper, the board, all the information in paper, everything. The fire is a very good evidence eraser!
