24 stories

Being an early adapter by principle, I got interested in Scrum and joined the Agile Movement early on in its history. My Scrum & Agile interests go beyond software development: they include application in education and life skills.

On the cyclic pattern of Scrum, with an enquiry into its sources in system theories, Japanese philosophy, manufacturing methodologies, and the Toyota/Lean practices of JIT and jidoka.
On the nature of empiricism, with notes on David Hume's Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding.
The lead article in a series of pieces meant to be a companion for Scrum Masters on their journey to excellence (CSP-SM).
An alternative take on the Agile Manifesto, seen as a 8-fold valuation system for co-creative work.
A monastic story used as a vehicle for conversation in basic Scrum practitioner workshops.
Personal notes on the 48-hour Scrum Beyond Software conference organized by Tobias Mayer.
A short introduction to Scrum, used as a research document in CSM workshops.
Sense and nonsense about digital nomadism, and the introduction of a dependency matrix that helps put the idea of freedom into perspective.
Notes on Nam June Paik, the Fluxus Art Movement, Zen Buddhism, and a juxtaposition of the Fluxus Art and Agile Manifestos.
On the nature and preconditions of self-organization, with samples of my photography (emergent street workshops in Montevideo, Uruguay, 2019-20).
