[PLUG-Devel] Scrum anyone?

[Josh Coffman]

Scrum is an Agile like practice. Personally I've found that the software approach that works best varies by market and type of project.
IE: Agile isn't good for software that runs Nuclear Facilities due to the regulation and risk from a catastrophe. However, it works pretty well in 
web based projects and internal products. I'm still learning this stuff and how to apply what and when.

Kent Beck has good XP books; I'm not sure about anything specific to Scrum.

After hearing some netcasts and watching some of the "TechTalks" on
Google video, I am becoming very interested in Scrum.
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrum_%28development%29)

Aside from the videos I have also found some good documentation and
presentations from various sources.  While I feel like I am learning
much, I have no practical application experience.

So, who here uses scrum?  What is good?  What is bad?

I am willing to drive a discussion of the topic at the January 4th Devel
Meeting next week, unless someone else has another topic they'd like to
present.  It'd be good to have people who use it present in the discussion.
