Thank you for this information. I am trying to determine if there is a possibility of using agile/scrum on infrastructure projects and regulatory projects. How do you incorporate agile/scrum in an arena that requires more documentation and process than agile prescribes? What is the correct balance to be effective? How does it change the current model and the impact to the business? I have so much to learn…

When I download from the link I am not able to locate the word document. I would really like to review your document. I have a need to integrate the IT Infrastructure team into the existing Scrum processes.

Thanks

Can someone please officially publish “Don’t put your IT people in every scrum the dept. has” so we can point the pointy hairs at an official source so we can stop scrumming and get work done?

Thanks for putting this together Nick – I’ve always thought that a lite-weight approach was definable. I’ve previously tried applying more traditional approaches but have almost always ended up ‘running with the ball’ in the fashion of Scrum. I’m kicking into a infrastructure project now and although my main outsourcer will be using Prince 2 (modified) I’m keen to use the InfraScrum approach. I’ll keep you posted as to how it pan’s out. If you have any further advice, tips or updates, let me know!
BTW you should get InfraScrum trademarked before someone else does!
Cheers

I agree, DeMarkus is an exceptional engineer. It is hard to find individuals that have a combination of drive and work ethic like DeMarkus does. And thank you for the compliments!

Good initiative! You show allot more insight than most managers on the Infrastructure side. Most Infrastructure folks are so focused on the technical aspects of their jobs (also important) they spend no time on process and approach to their project oriented activites. Good stuff! Now I understand why DeMarkus likes working there so much. You’ve got a good guy in DeMarkus. He’s got allot of initiative like you.
