Transcript of Starting a new project using Scrum
Starting a New Project Craig Brown Melbourne Scrum Users Group April 13, 2011 http://www.meetup.com/scrum-12/ www.betterprojects.net
Last month we came together and created a backlog of things we want to explore.
This month our focus is to take this content and shape it into a project, using the principles and methods of scrum.
The theme is naturally "Starting a project."
The agenda: I'll do a short 10 minute talk and then we break into smaller groups to convert broad concepts and ideas into actions.
Part 1: Talk
