“Stable (defined) and unstable (random) systems are the extremes. What is novel is the concept of something in between – chaotic behavior. It refers to systems which display behavior which, though it has certain regularities, defies prediction. Think of the weather as we have known it. Despite immense efforts, success in predicting the weather has been quite limited, and forecasts get worse the further ahead they are pitched. And this is despite vast data banks available on previous experience. Every weather pattern, every cold front is different from all its predecessors.”

Sound like any project you've worked on?  Then you need Scrum.  I've posted a Scrum Overview which will bring you up to speed on:

• The background of why Scrum works
• Current Scrum practices
• How to manage with Scrum
• Advantages and disadvantages of using Scrum, including when not to use it

There are also links to the major web sites, books, and articles of interest related to Scrum.  All of this (cayenne-) peppered with my experience implementing Scrum on several projects.

Check out the Scrum Overview now.
