Scrum in Under 10 minutes Video
There have been a few times when I've been talking to developers or even IT managers when they've tried to explain their poor planning by saying that they are practicing Agile development.
Agile is actually a pretty regimented system. I took a Scrum course last year to become Scrum Master certified. It opened my eyes to how software should be developed.
If you've never heard of Scrum , there's a very quick overview of Scrum called Scrum in Under 10 Minutes posted at YouTube. It's pretty good. Have a look.
