Choose your
timeslot and subject title wisely. Competing against Mike Milinkovich (Eclipse
Foundation) and Alec Saunders, Michael Dunlevy (Founding Agreements) wasn’t a good
choice. In addition, the title “Scrum in a Nutshell” only sells to people who
already know what Scrum is (I was hoping for a wider audience). Perhaps next
time I will choose a title like “Does your process hold your team back?”.

Finally
trying to squeeze the Scrum game into twenty minutes would have been a really
bad idea – I glad that we stuck to discussion instead. Next time I will get the
audience to drive more of the presentation content.

Thanks to Mark
Stephenson, Peter Childs, Ryan Lowe, Ian Graham, Erik Hagborg, Melany Gallant, Sonny
