I am a lecturer, I want to ask about your opinion about scrum. Although I am a beginner about it, I foresee the benefits of applying scrum is huge. I planned to teach my students about Scrum ( maybe the basics) so they can use the methodology and brings the world of Scrum when they are going to their own carrer world.

Since I see that your articles discussed so much about visual management, do you have any suggestion how to introduce Scrum to the Industrial Engineering Students?

Thanks before

And don’t forget to check you have enough tape before you start!

I ran out half-way through and we didn’t have any left.

You have to find the right amount of tension to put on the tape when you stick it, so that the tape is not streched. The clean straight line comes easily when you are unrolling a new roll of tape, it’s harder to accomplish if you are reusing an existing strip of tape.

Yep that is exactly what happened to me when I came back this morning to our team room.

How do you get the tape to have such a clean line?
I never seem to get this right. My lines always have the tendency to be “shaky”. And that does effect on how people take agile serious …

Superb, Xavier!

BTW, I think we could use foam core (“cartón pluma” in Spanish) for the board as a cheaper alternative to the magnetic whiteboard.
