MS released a tool that incorporated Scrum back in March. Ken made a
few comments that may be relevant to this discussion. You can find
them here:

Ken, I knew it was only a matter of time before you submitted to
Microsoft as well.

There were a couple of very telling points from Randy Miller's
presentation that I saw last week.

- First generation Agile processes are Scrum, XP v1, FDD, and DSDM.
- First generation Agile processes "practice" to get everyone to work
together.
- Second generation Agile processes expand the number of roles, relax
communication (daily standups are optional), and add complexity.
- Second generation Agile processes are Enterprise Scrum, XP v2,
Crystal, and MSF for Agile SW Development.

I love the comment on "practice"; thats a classic.

How are Second generation Agile processes better??? More roles (I
didnt realize the TEAM role was exclusive), more complexity (always a
benefit), and less communication.

I may have to convert to MSF as well.

Thanks,
Ryan

They are? Never heard of that.
How in the world do these second generation processes deal with
desyncronisation?

I think you're all generating rumours here, does anybody have facts?

Hi Ken,

I just said that you had discussed Enterprise Scrum at the Agile
Conference. I was there and I enjoyed your session.

Cheers,
Randy

Hi Ryan,

I quoted Kent Beck from an XP Universe keynote when he said that
XP "out the box" was an "etude" or "musical Practice" to get
everyone to work together. He further went on to say that if you are
still using the same XP process (i.e. not adapting it) two or three
projects later, you may be missing something. Sorry if I wasn't
clear enough.

Cheers,
Randy

I would be puzzled if a team is using the same Agile process after the
first few iterations!

What a fascinating thread this is - like watching a train wreck in
slow motion. Thanks, Hubert, for your call for facts.

When I see a thread like this, I always wish I could invite the
participants to a chatroom (or a real room!) in real time, to actually
have a discussion. But I don't know of a large-ish, browser-based
chatroom we could use. I ran one for a while but the limit of 5
people was annoying...

Hi,

I've read that in a multidimensional system (like the social system
that builds software), when any dimension changes by a factor of ten
(which you hope for with agile ethic, structure, and practice), the
whole system changes phases, so that what worked before no longer
works (think stirring ice!), so I can see where you'd be constantly
tweaking your practices -- isn't that what retrospectives are for?

Scrum just gives you a structural framework where that's not only
possible; it's expected.

For first reference to "Enterprise Scrum" see:

This is a Randy Miller, a methodologist at Microsoft, going nuts.
We've talked with him before an said that Scrum is fine as is and that
the extensions he suggests remove the flexibility and inherent
benefits of Scrum. Apparently he felt a need to proceed and ignored
the advice of those of us who use Scrum.

This thread is elsewhere in scrumdevellopment and pretty well said
there. Anyway, you just can't stop methologists, but you can be
compassionate because they can't seem to help themselves.
