Ken Schwaber at TeamConf 2009

I am very excited that Ken Schwaber one of the founders of SCRUM has confirmed as keynote speaker for TeamConf 2009. As we work with customers SCRUM seems to be the process that people really use or plan/want to use. It has gotten something like a synonym for agile project execution.

www.scrumforteamsystem.com was one of the first "NON Microsoft" processes that where available for Team Foundation Server and therefore our adoption especially in agile communities is very high.

We therefore look forward to see on of the heads behind SCRUM and have the chance to hear his thoughts and ideas and maybe discuss a topic ore two with a cool beer.

Be sure to save the TeamConf 2009 date in your calender: 5. - 9. May 2009 in Munich.

The official Team System Call for Papers will start early Oktober.

 

Ken Schwaber co-developed the Scrum process with Jeff Sutherland in the early 1990s to help organizations struggling with complex development projects.

He then founded the ScrumAlliance, a nonprofit organization dedicated to expanding the understanding of Scrum.

A 30-year veteran of the software development industry (from bottle washer to boss), he has written three books about Scrum: Agile Software Development with Scrum, Agile Project Management with Scrum, and The Enterprise and Scrum.
