		<title>Done is really done</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s so reassuring to be able to experience the benefits of practices that you read about.  On our last sprint we deployed our completed stories into the live application as they were completed meaning done is really done.
Pushing work into the live app before you can say it&#8217;s done means that deployment has to become [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bath User Group kick-off meeting</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This post is long over due but hopefully it will be the impetus for organising regular meetings of the group in 2010.
6 Weeks after I first suggested the idea of creating a local Scrum user group we held first meeting.  People quickly joined a hastily created group on LinkedIn and started spreading the word.  The [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bath Scrum User Group</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I want to organise a local Scrum User Group that meets regularly to discuss Scrum and share experiences.  This week I attended the Wessex Scrum User Group near Southampton to get an idea of what might be involved.  Since training with Nigel Baker of Agile Bear in February I haven&#8217;t spoken to other ScrumMasters so [...]]]></description>

		<title>Scrum.org</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I took the multiple choice test that is available on scrum.org. I signed up as soon as I discovered that Ken Schwaber was developing this site after leaving the Scrum Alliance.
OK, first things first.  I scored 70%.  Not bad, but I have an excuse ready.  I didn&#8217;t notice the timer when [...]]]></description>

		<title>Flowplayer splash image with FFmpeg</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At work we&#8217;ve been using the wordTube and wordTube Flowplayer plugins to add video to our news.  We had some old videos we wanted to include so I used FFmpeg to generate a splash image for each one.  I applied the same command to all the videos which meant the images was taken from the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Delicious Pecha Kucha</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently I became aware of Pecha Kucha presentations.  As the format is short sharp presentations I thought it would be good to have a quick way of creating the presentation.  I&#8217;ve created a greasemonkey script that creates a presentation from a page of delicious bookmarks.
The key to this is creating images of the bookmarked webpages. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Using Scrum: Sprints not Marathons</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since my post outlining my plans for IWMW 2009 I have taken quite a different direction.  My plans to run a 15 minute Lego exercise have grown so that now we will have 4 teams using Scrum to build a farm.  I didn&#8217;t expect the bulk of my preparation for this workshop to involve asking [...]]]></description>

		<title>Managing an open sprint backlog</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am using an open backlog on a 3 week sprint. Today I realised that there is a stage in the sprint when it&#8217;s necessary to close the backlog and complete what&#8217;s there.
With 6 days of the sprint left we only have 1 story that isn&#8217;t in progress, and someone has committed to completing that [...]]]></description>

		<title>IWMW 2009 &#8211; Scrum</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m running a session at this year&#8217;s Institutional Web Management Workshop (IWMW). I have an outline of what Scrum: Sprints not Marathons might cover, but I am open to suggestions to make sure everyone can get as much out of it as possible.  I&#8217;d like the preparation for my session to demonstrate some of the [...]]]></description>
