SSUG the Swiss Smalltalk User Group in collaboration with CHOOSE is 
glad to  invite you to the next half-day tutorial given by J. Pelrine 
(MetaProg GmbH):

"SCRUM: A Methodology to Keep the Team Going" on tuesday, October    
14th 2003 from 14h to 18h at the IAM Room 001.

Scrum, one of the agile processes, has been used to develop systems and 
products    since 1995 on thousands of projects in hundreds of 
organizations. Scrum implements  in several days and delivers 
increments of functionality within thirty days.  Scrum wraps existing 
engineering practices. Because Scrum is a development management 
process, it has also been used for such projects as marketing, 
research, and  hardware product development.


In this talk, we'll discuss how Scrum and all agile processes work, the 
theory    behind them and their underlying practices of inspection and 
adaptation. Then    weíll look at Scrum's detailed practices of 
iterations, increments of    code, emergence of requirements and 
design, and self-organization of teams.    Through these practices, 
Scrum introduces a heartbeat of regular productivity    to an 
organization that foments customer and engineering collaboration. If XP 
    is wrapped by Scrum, XP's engineering practices ensure the quality 
of this code    and stability of the emerging product, while Scrum 
provides the organizational    framework which allows development to 
flourish.
