Presentation ‘Agile Systeemontwikkeling Met Scrum’ (Dutch)
Posted on | March 7, 2010 | 2 Comments
Last Thursday I gave a presentation about 'Agile system development with Scrum' to an audience of project managers, business consultants and more technically involved IT people.
My main purpose was to provoke a 'paradigm change' since most people in the audience aren't involved in agile system development currently. So a large part of my presentation was about predictability and dealing with changes and why Scrum is a better approach to this then the traditional waterfall method. I remember clearly the first time I heard about Scrum a couple of years ago. My first reaction was that it couldn't work and only after a couple weeks I began to understand the strengths of the agile way of thinking.
We had some great discussions Thursday and I think I've been able to 'turn' some people. Mission accomplished

De eerste keer dat je mij de principes van Agile vertelde was ongeveer 2 jaar geleden. Het kwartje is inmiddels gevallen en geloof absoluut in deze methodiek. De presentatie geeft exact weer waar we in de praktijk tegenaan lopen en waarom Agile wel werkt. Mijn eerste resultaat van een ontwikkeling volgens Agile (welliswaar nog niet volledig) geeft al zoveel resultaat dat dit de manier wordt voor toekomstige software ontwikkelingen.

Hoi Stefan,
Bedankt voor je positieve feedback. Het agile pad is niet altijd even makkelijk, maar ik weet zeker dat het Newtel veel zal opleveren!
