This is the funniest Scrum thing I've ever heard

The following is from the agenda for the Agile 2008 Conference.

It describes one of the classes they offer...

"Come to this tutorial if you are an Agile coach or a Scrum Master and want to let your teams self-organize. They just don’t become self-organizing on their own."

For a mere $1,999.00, you can attend this conference and find out how to organize your self-organizing team.

Give me a break!

Scrum is common sense.

Attend one Scrum class if you need to—I do have two Scrum certifications—but once you understand the fundamentals of what works and what doesn't, move on, and get the job done.

Unless you're just looking for a tax write-off, stop wasting company money on consultants and conferences.

Once you understand the basics of creating a perpetual team—be it Agile, Scrum, Six Sigma, or Super Process Come Lately—there is simply nothing else to learn.

Get out there and make it happen.
