I wish I'd read this post fifteen months ago when we were just starting out with Scrum. We got the whole concept wrong, and ended up having thrashing arguments with the P.O. about the requirements being changed, wrong, and added. It was a long and drawn-out battle for me to convince everyone that requirements are not the 'starting block' of the sprint, they're the finish line. (or somesuch) Well I tell you what.

I created a <a href="http://www.agileforall.com/2009/02/26/new-to-agile-remember-to-eliminate-waste/" rel="nofollow">blog post</a> back in February about eliminating waste. I didn't mention this particular waste, but several others. I am a STRONG believer in the power of the lean principles in guiding agile practices. Almost all of my courses start with those principles! - Bob - That is absolutely correct Oana. I created a blog post back in February about eliminating waste.
