My experience with SCRUM and 9 engineering practices

This week, I read 3 papers:

1) No Silver Bullet Essence and Accidents of Software Engineering (Brooks Jr., 1987)

2) The chaos model and the chaos cycle (Raccoon, 1995)

3) Scrum + Engineering Practices: Experiences of Three Microsoft Teams (Williams et al., 2011)

I personally like the third one a lot, since it’s related to my experience of working as a software engineer. In the past, I did apply Scrum methodology and engineering practices in my projects, so I would like to share my experience about it.

Managing System Development - The first day

Before the class, I was pretty overwhelmed by the massive number of articles and posts to be read. I understood that I must prepare carefully for every class because I use English as a second language. So I read the two papers on NATO Conference and discussed about them with my friends. Thanks to them, I got some basic understanding of the problems which will be discussed in groups in class.
