I'’ve been using scrum as part of our development process for about 4 months now. During this time things have progressed really well. The team has taken to the new process really well and with the number of staff increasing I now run 4 separate teams across different areas of the product.

About the only thing I had to correct is the occasional breaking of the rules by the team, and that's been due to good intentions rather than deliberate action.

We'’re now able to see real benefit from the process now and are showing clear improvements in the product every few weeks. As a way of saying thank you to the team and showing how much I appreciated their great effort I took them out for lunch today. It was lot’s of fun in a good environment, overlooking Darling Harbour and eating great good.
