Achieving the Big Picture Business Results You Expect from Scrum
With so many details to focus on, it can sometimes be easy to get lost in the day-to-day minutia of Scrum. That’s why Scrum expert Kenny Rubin, who has trained over 18,000 people on agile and Scrum methodologies, believes it’s so important to take a step back and look at things from a larger economic perspective.
Alright, so you’ve implemented Scrum at your company. The big question is — have you seen any jump in revenue? If not, don’t give up on the Scrum just yet! Agile and Scrum training expert Kenny Rubin, author of the bestselling book Essential Scrum sat down to talk about what he refers to as Economically Sensible Scrum. Listen in to hear Kenny explain how to get things rolling from the executive level down to really ensure that Scrum gets adopted successfully across your entire organization.
The podcast also highlights some top issues companies face implementing Scrum and how to overcome them to make sure that you’re not wasting time, energy, and resources. By using everyday examples such as waiting for a table at a restaurant, Kenny presents economically sensible Scrum strategy that any company can benefit from.
“One of the core benefits of Scrum, is giving us confidence to succeed in a complex world. Other approaches that assume more stability in the environment won’t be as well-attuned to our needs.”
— Kenny Rubin, Innolution
