Summary

‘What a great feeling’, thought the CEO of a start-up company in Zurich when he looked at the Scrumboard in the meeting room, and said, ‘It’s so good to see what we’ve accomplished’. At this, his colleague replied with a broad grin, ‘We really should have thought of this earlier’. It was only the week before that this start-up had introduced the Scrumboard for all projects and meetings. The Scrumboard shows upcoming tasks, tasks underway and completed tasks on a visual template for every project (see Figure 44). In addition, respective team members can be identified using colour coding. The section for completed tasks meant employees could hardly wait to move their Post-it notes from ‘underway’ to ‘done’.
