LinkedIn's only dedicated Scrumban Group

The Scrumban episodes I’ve been publishing of late have gone down rather well.

But it’s just not the view count that has taken me by surprise: it’s the number of comments.

This is among the most commented-on episode ever.

What I expected, comment-wise, was a backlash from Scrum practitioners.

And that did happen to a certain extent.

But there were just and many people who were… curious.

At the other end of the spectrum were … those of you already doing Scrumban - and from what you told me, to great effect.

And then were those of you that THANKED ME for giving a name to what they were already doing!!!

So let me get this straight: you reviewed how you were working… did a spot of the olde “inspect” and “adapt”... and ended up at Scrumban!

There’s something interesting going on here, I thought to myself.

I need to do more on Scrumban. But we’re in the run to Christmas… and then it’s the new Year… and then there’s something else I’d plan to do.

Surely, I thought to myself, there’s something that I can do RIGHT NOW. NOT in 3 months time.

Do you know how many groups there are on LinkedIn dedicated to Scrumban?

Zero.

“Agile & Lean Metrics” mentions Scrumban in its description.

And there is a group that mentions Scrumban in its title… but doesn’t seem to mention it anywhere else.

.. but apart from that. Zero!

So I’ve been and gone and created a proper dedicated SCRUMBAN group
