Jeff Sutherland, one of the creators of Scrum, has just posted a new blog entry in his Scrum Log: Pivotal Tracker: Now with a Burndown Chart!
I first met Jeff when we were both presenting on Agile process to a forum of OpenView Venture Partners portfolio companies, and have been a big fan of all he has to say about the adoption and effectiveness of agile practices in the wild.
Many thanks to Jeff for his help to make Tracker a better tool for scrum. We'll keep working with him to make sure Tracker is the best scrum tool it can be.
We have a winner in the Pivotal Tracker GoRuCo Haiku Contest.
Collin Miller submitted the winning entry:
Rivers of Action
Clearly Sculpt a Way Forward
My Path is Now Clear
We thank everyone for participating. There were a number of great entries, but this piece really stood out.
Collin, come on down tomorrow and say hi. I'll be there all day enjoying the conference with some other folks from Pivotal Labs and demoing Pivotal Tracker for anyone who doesn't know it already. Congratulations on your win!
On Wednesday night we hosted our first San Francisco Tracker Users Group (SF.TUG)
It was a great opportunity to meet more of our users, and hear directly from them about how they're using the product, and share with them some of the philosophy behind it.
We're excited by your enthusiasm and we will definitely make the TUG a regular event here in San Francisco, and we are planning to start one in our New York City offices soon. Please visit the Meetup group to join the discussion, and for more information and the schedule for future meetups.
