Mike Cohn爱Scrum

多爱Scrum？让我数一数。

爱它少于20天的迭代。

爱产品列表的写作与精化。

爱看故事卡一张张减少。

爱Scrum的高速率。

虽然速率不等于生产率。

爱评审、回顾和站会，

特别是管理人员不来时。

爱燃尽图，

展示进度的最好方式。

爱SM和PO，

他们让事情变得容易。

爱Scrum甚过Waterfall，

障碍被消除，

工作有乐趣、无加班，

能按时交付，就爱上加爱。

It’s Valentine’s Day. That day when we send flowers or candy and profess our love. Since I love Scrum, I thought I should write it a love poem.

How do I love Scrum? Let me count the ways.
I love it for its sprints of up to twenty days.
The product backlog: Writing and refining!
I love Scrum when I see a pile of story cards declining.

I love Scrum to the highest velocity
But know it doesn’t measure productivity.
I love the review, retro and daily scrum,
Especially when management doesn’t come.

I love burndown charts, or up if you prefer.
They show team progress, otherwise hard to infer.
I like my Scrum Master and my product owner, too.
Having each makes issues easier to get through.

I love Scrum with a love deeper than a waterfall.
There are no impediments. I love it all.
Scrum brings me joy. Work is fun. No overtime!
I shall but love Scrum better if we ship on time.

I hope you love Scrum, or any other variation of agile. Perhaps not enough to write it a love poem, though.

Because falling too much in love with your particular agile framework or process could get in the way of succeeding with agile,
