“Why Scrum?” is a webinar that I gave today (Friday, 26 June). This is a difficult topic to talk about because every organization has a different reason for adopting Scrum, and a 45-60 minute webinar doesn’t do it justice.

The difficult nature of the talk, and the fact that I’m still tired from traveling up from Sydney late last night made the webinar feel very flat. In particular, I didn’t have many interesting stories or jokes around the material. I’ll have to restructure the presentation and my thoughts before I try presenting it again.

I still think the webinar platform is a good learning exercise (for me), and I think I’ll continue to do webinars in order to trial new material and different formats. I’d like to thank the views who participated, and stayed around until the very end! You can view the presentation here, and you can find the raw materials (Keynote and PowerPoint files) here.

Finally, there are a number of photos in the presentation. These are all released under the same CC-By license. They are credited in the presentation, and I would ask you to retain the credits page should you decide to use this material.
