Good, Fast, Cheap : Pick any two
The well known triple constraints of project management are scope, schedule and cost. And you usually cannot have all three at the same time.
Cheap & fast will be a work with lower quality
Good & fast will be expensive
Good & cheap will not happen anytime soon

Classic Mistakes at Daily Scrum Meetings
Classic Mistakes at Daily Scrum Meetings
Daily Scrum is a Scrum Event which is time-boxed with 15 minutes, done at the same place and at the same time.
During the meeting each Scrum team member shares the answer of the three questions:
- What has been accomplished since the last meeting?
- What will be done before the next meeting?
- What obstacles are on the way?
(For more details about daily scrum please refer to scrum guide at http://www.scrumguides.org/ )
In this blog entry, I want to share my previous experiences which I perceive as classic mistakes at Daily Scrums.
