SCRUM is becoming the most important agile framework for agilists and their market, at least in Belgium. Most effort is spent on the possibile marriage of SCRUM, which is a project management technique, rather than a developing one (for that, XP is ready to go). A couple of guys talked about SCRUMMING, i.e. SCRUM + CMMI, in order to ad an external loop for a long-termed vision.
Even if I liked much the game we played, I found the relation with the talk no clear (as I told them on site) and this glue unfeasible. In fact, the risk is to have two languages, the one for the team (SCRUM) and the other for the management (CMMI).
I feel that the ubiquitous language principle borrowed from DDD is what everybody needs: a unique lexicon for each level of details in software management, design and development strata. This is something worth to be studied more. For example, the Stand-Up Meeting and the Daily SCRUM, as far as I am concerned in, are the same thing, as the Customer and the Product Owner. Or am I wrong?
