The Cape Town chapter of the Scrum User Group of South Africa held its second event on at 18:30 on Thursday 6 November.

We took advantage of Boris Gloger’s presence here to host a panel discussion with Boris, Steve van der Merwe and myself. Sue Bramhall facilitated and her company, 24.com kindly sponsored the venue and refreshments.

The audience of around 40 varied from people curious to know what Scrum is to those practising for a couple of years and looking for some therapy <g>. We had some lively discussions. Boris asked one person from a large enterprise what was preventing her from starting to apply Scrum in her team. Another outcome I recall is we all said we didn’t trust architects who don’t write code!

Steve got people to write down what they want from future events, which should help the organising team to tune future events.

Sue threw the laggards out around 21:00. Sorry, Dan, that I asked you so many awkward questions about your team’s journey with Scrum.
