What next?
“...adopting Scrum in an enterprise is like looking into the abyss, girding
oneself for an epic journey and then making the plunge.
...it is taking a hard look in the mirror every day, every month and doing
something about what one sees.
Ken Schwaber 2007
The goal is for you and everyone in your enterprise to wake up looking
forward to coming to work, and for your competitors to wish they had
never woken up.”
