Editor's Notes
- Most of you are probably asking yourself these 2 questions
- My company’s business is illegal in the USA, so don’t worry I won’t be selling you anything
- Scrum Introduces the concept of cross functional teams. Cross functional scrum team is a team that includes all the skills necessary to deliver complex software projects
- Talk to audience and identify issues with the model (write on flipchart) Feedback is late (might find out something is not quite right only at the end) Separation of roles – emergence of phases Handovers and signoffs (between phases) Who is accountable for the product? Single points of failure
