Tobias Mayer is perhaps one of the more influential scrum trainers. (He’s definitely one of the most provocative.) His blog, “Agile Anarchy” has a new post about the importance of the scrum board to the scrum process as a whole.
I wanted to jump up and down when I read it. It speaks to me about why I hate the whole idea of an electronic board.
He also links to Xavier Quesada Allue’s blog, which echoes this practical approach to scrum and teams. I absolutely love his “Elements of taskboard design” which has real practical tips on what you can do to make your task board more effective. And he made me aware of “Super Sticky Post It’s“.
Now I’m off to convince Loren, Mistress of Stationery, to order us some of those. Sometimes the best tools are already out there.
