Class Registration
With almost every scrum class I offer, one or two students always seem to ask for Scrum case studies examples. I have resisted their calls for case studies since to me a case study is mostly irrelevant to an individual’s learning more about Scrum. IMO, the best way to learn about Scrum is to do it yourself and then inspect-and-adapt, rather than read about how someone else did Scrum in their environment.
However, today I have decided to succumb to this student request and offer up these fourteen examples for your reading pleasure.
In order to qualify for my list, the case study authors had to 1) do “out-of-the-box” Scrum with very few modifications, 2) they had to write a document or blog entry describing their experiences; a powerpoint presentation without a narration did not qualify and 3) they had to make freely available on the Internet their case study, i.e. you don’t have to give them your email address to read the content.
Hi Carlton,
Sad but useful succumbing I guess. Would you consider “Scrum & XP from the trenches” a case study?
Cheers,
Alan
I have found when the students consistently ask for the same thing over a long period of time (more than 4 months), the request reflects something missing in my class.
As for “Scrum and XP from the trenches, I consider that a book. The goal of this list are short articles that are quick to read. I highlight Henrick’s book in my course.
