Updates:
Georgia Tech - Completed first sprint, end user seems happy, going well! In progress with Sprint 2. Team space being used between 10am-3pm, did a modified schedule so could deal with Production issues before and after Scrum time. One challenge, team members preferring to work in own offices. Also have team members who telecommute which they're figuring out how to accomodate. Some dependencies ID'd during first sprint, good learning. Team requested large whiteboard, clock, pig coasters - engraved.

ND: Regrouping to carry forward after Scrummaster training for 22 people. One Scrum team ongoing for Faculty related project, another kicking off for Unviersity Relations, and another seems to be a good possibility for Performing Arts Center. Trying to figure out how we might Scrum given that a number of 3rd party software vendors are involved.

Wake Forest – Moving from 2 week to 3 week sprints, response to more people taking PTO, planning taking a whole day, increased focus on improvement efforts, didn’t leave many work days. Hope to have more breathing room for planning the next sprint. Also working on involving customers earlier, evaluating complexity vs. hours on user stories – implications on velocity.
Notre Dame – Scrum training end of the month. New project kicking off, year long effort hope to use Scrum, space identified, team identified.
