ScrumGathering ’07

The last ScrumGathering was held in Portland, OR, May 7-11.

On Tuesday, Mike Cohn and I taught a course centered around a series of case studies. Wednesday and Thursday were Open Space sessions.

Here is the overall site for the Gathering. This is the result of a session on Games for Scrum, along with a particular planning game, AgileTripTik.

I saw three themes:

  • How can coaches/ScrumMasters effectively intervene?
  • Leadership/vision “versus” self-organization
  • “Beyond iterations” – moves outside generic Scrum approaches
