One year ago Jeff Sutherland came to our company and certified 20 of us as Scrum Masters. We have had an amazing year of progress following that original training and have spread Scrum throughout the organization. Scrum is now the standard way we get things done as an organization.
Last night Jeff arrived in Boise for training round 2, in which he will indoctrinate 30 new souls into the Scrum family. Over dinner last night with Jeff, I got a few beautiful pearls of wisdom including the fact the fact that there are more Scrum Masters per capita in Scandinavia than any other place on earth.
According to Jeff, there are upwards of 150,000 Scrum teams meeting every day. That’s a pretty darn steep adoption curve since the Agile manifesto was signed in 2001.
