Yes I had my tongue-in-my-cheek when wrote “Scrum has 3 advantages over XP” but if Scrum hadn’t made “Agile” acceptable to management it is unlikely that XP ever would have take Agile this far. And lets not forget that while Schwaber and Sutherland have become celebrities in the community there were five authors of the original “ Scrum: A Pattern Language for Hyperproductive Software Development ”, Beedle also co-authors one of the early Scrum books, Devos still works as a Scrum Trainer, while Sharon seems to Scrum’s Fifth Beatle - where are they now? Getting back to the point. Allan Kelly's Blog - Tuesday, January 25, 2011 - 10 Things to make you Agile adoption successfull

Well in the interests of consistency I’ve decided to stick with one, since Agile Triangle tends to be used to refer to project management type stuff Agile Pyramid wins. One decision I made which might surprise some people was not to start from the Poppendieck’s books for the course. And since building a Lean organization really means building a Learning Organization my own Changing Software Development was the course book. I was Oslo recently teaching a course on Lean Software Development. When we were organizing this course on of our goals was: Make it practical. Allan Kelly's Blog - Thursday, May 13, 2010 %>
