Having a dedicated computer and desk for the effort of Pair programming is a great thing. It is a little counter intuitive to those who seek for efficient use of the workplace and try to use every inch of the office all the time. Creative people (programmers) are no laying hens and should not be treated this way. So why is it good to have a computer around that is just dedicated for Pair programming?

A
Relative Weight Backlogis one of the key artifacts in scrum. I always had a hard time to explain it to people. Since we are doing regular workshops
in our company we had an excellent opportunity to let our product owners experience building a relative weight backlog in
a safe environment. The whole exercise is based on the User Stories from
Agile 42‘s Scrum Lego City game.

I hear a lot of teams are
“POST-SCRUM”. That is not a bad thing, given one of the basic mechanics is
“Inspect and Adapt”. This is constantly changing the process and it’s properties from sprint to sprint. So, basically you go “POST-SCRUM” after
Sprint One (most times it’s the third in practice).
