Our lecturer Abdulkerim Čorbo from System Verification had an interesting lecture followed by many comments, questions and observations. Participants said that meetup was interesting as lecturer explained the basics of Requirements Engineering and gave practical examples from his work practice and that the lecture was interesting even for persons who are not in Quality Assurance posts.

We hope to extend our successful cooperation with other agile organizations to share knowledge and know-how for the benefit of our community. Our thanks goes to Abdulkerim for excellent lecture and our friends from Academy387 for providing great services once again.

2015 State of Scrum Benchmark Report published

In February 2015, Scrum Alliance® surveyed almost 5,000 people about their use of Scrum. The survey respondents make up a diverse group, representing 108 countries and more than 14 industries. They reflect a range of functional areas, including IT software development, product development, operations, human resources, executives, and sales and marketing. 

From the survey results, we see that Scrum is becoming an increasingly popular and in-demand framework. In fact, nearly half the respondents report that Scrum is being used 50% or more of the time in their organizations, and 29% of respondents report it’s used much more frequently than that. The survey uncovered some interesting key findings…findings that not only reflect where Scrum is today but what we can anticipate it will look like tomorrow. These include who is practicing Scrum, how they are practicing it, success levels associated with Scrum, and plans for continuing to use it.
