Ken Schwaber at the Agile Business Conference

Posted by Simon Baker

At the Agile Business Conference , Ken Schwaber in his workshop - When will Microsoft go out of business? - said 2 things I liked:

There’s no good news. There’s no bad news. There’s just news. (Understand it. Determine if you need to do something. And do it.)

Scrum doesn’t engender excellence. It exposes incompetence.
