Pen & paper Scrum – 10 days edition
True to the spirit of continuous improvement I just created new printout templates for a Sprint Backlog and a Sprint Burndown Chart for ten-day sprints with pen & paper Scrum.
Hope you find them as useful as I do.
If you're irritated about what pen & paper Scrum is refer to the original article.
Scrum with pen & paper
A friend of mine recently asked me if I'd know any good freeware tools for use with Scrum. Well, I told him, I don't have any first hand experience with freeware Scrum tools but there certainly are a few.
However in the case that you're just starting with Scrum I would argue that you might be better off without tools. All tools force you into some kind of process that works for somebody else, but might not be optimal for you.
So instead of jumping to a fancy tool that comes with all the bells and whistles instantly, I'd recommend starting as low-tech as possible, learn the basics and discover your individual needs. After that you are enabled to get the Scrum tool that does exactly what you need it to do.
How do you start low-tech? Use pen and paper.
