Scrummtastic!!!

So I am now a newly minted Certified SCRUM Master!!!

Do I feel any different? Have the Project Management gods opened up their pearly gates and blessed me with a glimpse of arcana that will revolutionize my organization?

One word? No.

For those of us just joining the blog, I am not big on the seemingly growing trend of Methodology Fundamentalists growing out there and just like their Religious counterparts, they only seem to make things more difficult than they really are.

Just call me a secular bastard but bottom line it there are things that we can do in project management in business that take all these tools these methodologies and apply them judiciously and where appropriate to make significant gains.

Bottomline:
Results matter. How we get there whether pure XP, Scrum, Waterfall, Ninja Techniques from the Black Scrolls of Mu; Ship the product with minimal bugs/issues within expectations and everyone busts out the stoagie and we go home with the prom king/queen WOOT!!!

That said am I glad I took the training? Absolutely. It opened up some areas for improvement and experimentation to the hybrid model I have been employing . Will I sport the credential? Damn Skippy!!!

Above is probably one of the best pictures of the Agile Methodology I have seen to date. (I found it in a google search)
