Firms Using Scrum

Intro Comments 

We hope the main use of the list in the Google doc is to enable people to share information and experiences about Scrum with a wider community.

Most of the intro comments have been moved to this page: http://scrumcommunity.pbwiki.com/Intro-Comments-Firms-Using-Scrum

Use caution is drawing inferences from this information! This list does not include many firms using Scrum (I personally can name many not on the list).  There are many reasons firms are not on the list.  One is is a mere "get off the butt and do it" problem.  One is a "what do I say" problem.  Most of them not big, just normal human things.  IMO.

If you are willing to post your name and/or contact information publicly, please tell us.

Please send updates to us, at jhlittle AT leanagiletraining DOT com

If others wish to help curate this list, please tell me. (We tried open editing, and that did not work out well.)

A Firm Using Scrum has at least one team doing something that can fairly be called Scrum, eg, most of the practices mentioned in the Scrum Guide.  If there is very much ScrumButt, we probably should not put them on the list (eg, "We do Scrum, but we don't do a daily Daily Scrum" -- That would be ScrumButt).

For the LIST of Firms Using Scrum....

The list is now a Google spreadsheet.   --->>>  Here.

You cannot update it directly.  To update or add to the list, send send information to me (Joe Little).  See email address above. Or ask to become an editor.

THE COLUMNS:

Contact in Firm - This means we have a contact in this firm. That person has confirmed they are using Scrum.  (We are not releasing contact info because of concerns about spam and privacy. If you want to make your contact info (or some of it) public, please tell us.)

Contact on LinkedIn - This will indicate (in the contact is willing to) that the contact is on LinkedIn.

Date Updated - Most recent date when someone (either in or outside the firm) has asserted that one or more teams in the firm is using Scrum.

Info Source - This could be a person outside the firm who knows that the firm is using Scrum.  This kind of source might be more or less reliable. 

Article - Means that there is a published article (of some sort) that discusses or mentions that the firm is implementing Scrum.  We will try to add details about the article.

EDITORS:

Please adhere to these ideas:

1. Tell the truth.

2. Do not invade a firm's privacy.  If you have reason to suspect that a firm does not wish to be publicly shown as doing Scrum, do not make their name public.

3. Do not tell more than the truth.

4. A firm can be listed many times, once for each city in which it is doing Scrum.

5. Please try to remember to add the country.

6. Please update the 'date updated' about once a year.  If you know the firm is still using Scrum. (If not, do not update the date.)

7. Try to avoid 'hear-say' information.  Please try to confirm that the firm is really doing some Scrum.  Names on a list does not prove that a firm does Scrum.

8. Please try to get others to add names.

9. Please respect a person's privacy. Do not reveal a person's contact info without his or her permission.

Did I say enough?
