In <a href="http://sprettur.is/um_sprett/starfsmenn/#gulli">my </a>opinion, Scrum
is a kind scaffolding around the team where value is actually created, used to construct
the real process, one improvement at at time. And, if you know where you can go, those
improvements should lead more or less towards XP engineering practices. The reality
is that Scrum is a lot easier to sell than XP in its entirety, especially when it
comes to getting people to rally around a process change to begin with. XP, on the
other hand, with its 12 practices, can be mind boggling to start with if you don't
have a coach who really knows the drills. 
<br /><br />
People, knowing only Scrum without the technical practices to make shorter cycles
work in the long run, are going to get into trouble. It's as simple as that. Of course
not everybody is going to be equally good at it, but awareness is a key element. If
not believing something is possible makes sure it won't happen then not knowing about
a possibility is an even better way to ensure it never happens. So introducing Scrum
as a complete package into a company without at least ensuring awareness of the technical
practices, is a risky practice IMHO.<br /><br />
We are fully aware of these risks here at Sprettur, and are ready to provide training
in the engineering practices talked about in these posts. Contact <a href="http://sprettur.is">us</a> for

Tókst loksins að byggja upp nógu mikinn kjark til þess að uppfæra iPhone-inn minn
í útáfu 2. Sá svo sannalega ekki eftir því. Nýja útgáfan er mögnuð, svo mögnuð að
ég fékk tæknivitrun.

          <b>Fyrsta</b> vitrunin kom í Íslandsbanka þegar ég prófað <a href="http://www.mindjet.com/products/mindmanager_mac/default.aspx">MindManager</a> og
fékk nýja sýn á hvernig hægt er að vinna með og strúktúra upplýsingar á auðveldan
hátt en mér fannst tólið keyra fram nýjar hugmyndir. <b>Önnur</b> kom þegar ég var
á leiðinni heim frá Kaupmannahöfn og hitti litla frænda minn með iPod. Var búinn að
heyra um iPod örugglega ári fyrr en hafði aldrei prófað. Stemningin sem fylgdi því
að fara í gegnum 20 GB tónlistarsafnið hans og handleika gripinn var ógleymanleg.
Sú <b>þriðja</b> kom þegar ég kynntist <a href="http://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/">Confluence</a> wiki-tólinu
hjá <a href="http://industria.com/">Industria</a>. Var búinn að vera nota Microsoft
Sharepoint í nokkur ár og skildi þarna hvað Sharepoint var léleg græja (og samt allir
að nota hana). Confluence var einhvern veginn akkúart, það sem ég vissi <i>ekki</i> að
ég væri að leita að. <b>Fjórða</b> kom þegar í keypti iPhone á síðasta ári og leið
eins og væri búinn að kaupa lítinn skammt af <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minority_Report_(film)">Minority
Report</a> framtíð.

        <p>
Og síðan kom sú síðasta núna í vikunni þegar ég uppfærði stýrikerfið. Það að geta
sett upp ný forrit í gegnum <a href="http://www.apple.com/iphone/features/appstore.html">AppStore</a> gjörbreytir
græjunni; iPhone-inn er búinn að taka hamskiptum. Þetta er yndisleg græja :)
