long time reader – first time poster.

on the topic of big decisions upfront: there is an exellent article about Richard Fenman’s view of this type of problem, have a look if you have a minute. personally, i’ve found it very helpful.

I argue that at the heart of it is the arrogance that a simple graph that has no real foundations can solve everyone’s problems.

Forget just SCRUM. You wanna try the Iterative Agile Waterfall scrumming (but just for project managers) model! The company I consult for swears by them ;)

IMO, the problem is beyond Gantt Chart, it’s the way software projects are perceived and treated in traditional Project Management, where all we have is patches and workarounds to make traditional, sequential Project Management to work for the constant changing nature of software projects.

As for the “Inspect and Adapt” concept in Scrum, I suggest you also take a look this article, Kanban – The Next Agile Revolution, it’s a very good read (by Ketil Jensen).
