Hope I got the elements right, although I have doubts on rule 17 and on the use of "would" in the conditional reported question in the 2nd paragraph. Reading the relevant section in Fowler's King English (http://www.bartleby.com/116/213.html#4) didn't help me.<br /><br />If you're reading this and you're strong in English grammar, I will appreciate your criticism, provided you readily admit that this language of yours is not learnable by a sane adult.Jordi Salvat i Alabarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09354861709129781134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8262337902679603376.post-88615671888855722712009-09-15T15:29:06.676-07:002009-09-15T15:29:06.676-07:00You're definitely right.

The intent is to quickly bring the team to a better starting point from which to grow.Jordi Salvat i Alabarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09354861709129781134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8262337902679603376.post-79774596046790515562009-09-15T14:13:12.244-07:002009-09-15T14:13:12.244-07:00I believe that based on what you have described, i...I believe that based on what you have described, indeed, scrum by the book has been the better choice in this concrete example. However, anything 'by the book' when dealing with human beings is an over-sight of the greater achievements attained by trusting in one's experience and use of well-studied goodlines which is how I would describe scrum best practices.binarytenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00026031379066841446noreply@blogger.com
