Scrum agile development hits ByTheOwner

Scrum is an iterative incremental process of software development commonly used with agile software development. We’re giving a try at this development process this year at BTO.

Last year, we often had the impression to keep running without getting anywhere and getting anything done. We were always working on a thousand things at the same time and were having a lot of difficulty keeping the focus to get features out. The team is getting bigger and we didn’t quite succeed to manage it perfectly.

I won’t be part of the first Scrum project since I have to play the firefighter part. I’ll be trying to clear the bugs and emergencies so the other developpers can have an 100% focus on their 3 weeks project but still, I can’t wait to see if it will all work out as expected.
