Scrum

If you're going to pick a project management technique that appeals to polar bears, SCRUM at least has semi-appealing terminology: scrum master, poker, sprints…

 

Despite this Mr Fox, wasn't exactly expecting a miracle. Not only has Mrs Polar Bear been legally declared unmanageable, but she also has several successful coups on her CV.

 

She didn't seem to care about his lovingly crafted backlog. In fact, she spent most the kick-off meeting shuffling poker cards and gnawing on her pen.

 

Things did pick up when she realized she was going to get to write her own post-it notes, but when the concept of unit-less time cropped up, things turned nasty.

 

WHAT!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

 

Fortunately Mr Fox was quick off the mark, and escaped with only a glancing head injury.

 

 

A week into their project, whereas Mr Fox had grown increasingly twitchy, Mrs PB was taking things in her stride. Moving post-it notes, and monitoring her progress with a burn down chart had apparently significantly improved her bean eating performance.

 

The less said about the status of the blog, the better……

 

 

 

 

It goes without saying that this story in no way reflects Mr Tom's own opinions or experiences, and does not in anyway satirize real life events
