Part of my continuous study plan and try to stay ahead of popular project management practices in industry, this is part of my achievement so far.
The Scrum Guide made by Jeff Sutherland and Ken Schwaber only has 19 pages. It doesn’t mean it’s easy to execute but it’s just a very top level introduction. You could easily write thousands pages of documents for various industries and organization functions to implement Scrum and that part needs to be explored. Have been closely looking at case studies cross industry sectors, how they go through the transformation process, I would say they follow 60% of common practice plus 40% tailored approach. When everything-as-a-service business model propels, the only thing you present to customers is that piece of APP made of binary code. I don’t see tratidional corporate hierarchy and top-down dependency fit in current business context any more.
I have been with different institutes like PMI, Scrum Alliance and SAFe and learn their best practices. They are not mutually exclusive but provide different tools to help you implement. Agility, Autonomy and Simplicity would be ultimate architecture for modern organization to scale. The people organization needs to be innovated. Corporate silos need to be broken down. Value creation needs to be measurable on daily basis through technology and automation. That’s what scrum is all about.
