An Open Letter to the Project Management Community
Occasioned by this discussion on LinkedIn, I wanted to write to Project Managers everywhere...
Dear All
Dear Project Managers everywhere,
I hear you have mixed views about the recent, er, "developments", in the field of Software Development, commonly referred-to as "Agile Software Development practices". I won't call them "advances" as we may not be able to agree that they have, in fact, advanced anything.
Recently at the Scrum Day Germany
Ken Schwaber and I, discussing his new book
Sh!t bad Scrum Masters say
Thank you Adam Weisbart, for making the video shareable!
Estimates are often not helpful.
People construe estimates as promises. No one can predict the future, but many people treat estimates as guarantees. Failed predictions fan blame. Trust and openness suffer.

Play4Agile – Saturday
After Olaf Lewitz commented on my first post on this year’s Play4Agile, not keeping up the daily recap is not option anymore.
So this morning started like I predicted yesterday. After a delicious breakfast, the day began with session presentations for the Open Space.
Kick Off For Play4Agile
Today, I made my way to Seminarzentrum Rückersbach, a small retreat close to Frankfurt, where the second Play4Agile takes place.
Play4Agile is a gathering of experienced peers from all over the world to create and play games in an inspiring environment. — Play4Agile Wiki
