Hi Bernardo,
 
   Regarding Agile and Scrum: it will not work everywhere. Like programming languages, network topologies, and just about everything else technical; success is a combination of the collective culture, technological landscape, business drivers, and the personalities involved.
 
   Scrum (and Agile in general) will not produce predictable delivery of specified functionality - by its very nature and design. Some business models are functionality-and-date-driven. In these models, Agile will likely cause frustration - and Scrum won't help. These business models rely on something other than any specific methodology - usually an individual.
   The argument in favor of Agile, though, is that no methodology provides this - that it is impossible to deliver predictable functionality - so the best one can hope for is to deliver code that works as desired, and well. 
 
   That said, some good resources include Control Chaos and Mountain Goat Software.
 
Hope this helps,
Andy

I´d really like to know more about scrum, since the Agile process isn´t really doing the trick here in the company I work for, so I´m looking for different patterns.
Can someone point me out in the direction of resources?

Hi Mitch,
 
   No. But I should mention we haven't really used the template (or TFS for that matter) to its full extent. So far, we're mostly using TFS for source control. We plan to scale the project to continuous integration with several builds per week, but we're not there yet.
 
Thanks,
Andy

Hi Andy,

 

In your use of the Scrum process template. Have you managed to get the burn down charts working properly?

TFS Experience: I became interested in TFS when writing the chapter on SDLC for the SSIS book. I've used it increasingly on projects since last summer (2005) and currently using TFS with Conchango's Scrum for Team System template.

TFS Experience: We've been using TFS in production since it's RTM release, which sadly for the team I installed.  Despite that, we're really in the early days of exploiting the full power of the tool.  Currently we use source control, bugs and tasks effectively.  Next steps are the full development lifecycle, introducing scenarios etc.

 

Current Projects: Major ones are an Asset Management data aggregation tool and enhancements to our trading tools.  However, we will be working hard on developing supporting infrastructure tools over the next couple of years.
