ABSTRACT
High performance depends on the self-organizing capability of teams. Understanding how this works and how to avoid destroying self-organization is a challenge. Until you understand complex adaptive systems and how Toyota works it is difficult to improve team velocity. Jeff will discuss three core topics:
1. Shock therapy as a strategy for booting up teams.
2. The Cosmic Stopping Problem, otherwise known as the choice uncertainty principle.
3. Punctuated equilibrium - how software systems evolve
Take advantage of these concepts and you may find a way to achieve the ultimate potential of a team. This session will be a "Deep Agile" presentation keying off topics presented to engineers at MIT.
Speaker: Jeff Sutherland
Dr. Jeff Sutherland is one of the co-creators of the Scrum software development process. He and Ken Schwaber invented Scrum in 1993. Since then he has worked with many software companies and IT organizations to extend and enhance this process.

Am I the only one who is watching this years later, as MySpace and Nokia are generally understood to be underperforming? Yet, I am a believer in short, iterative projects for LOBs and IT.
What can I possibly say to express the satisfaction i got listening to this lecture ? I am indeed short of words!!!
I agree with other comments here that this is an advanced view of SCRUM.
I am a CSM and PMI-ACP and know how to implement SCRUM. But, until I watched this video I did not appreciate the basic principles of nature that make SCRUM work. I viewed it several times before the all of the pieces clearly came together for me. Complex adaptive systems and the uncertainty principle. Wow. Now I completely understand why multi-tasking wastes so much time.

Absolutely wonderful intro.
Dance with your heart, and you will not dance alone.
some fresh moves...especially in the korean dmz, nice touch!
Blow my mind... I suggest for people that already practice scrum
Great intro and great content! Learned a lot
5:30 talk starts
To btmore: I can appreciate that it sounds paradoxical. As said earlier, you have to try it. Jeff Sutherland has done Scrum for 15 years; I think the associated teams are quite happy with it (not to mention his firms).
A self organizing team does not mean a team that can successfully mimic the process used by their leader. While the links to human social interaction in this presentation are fascinating the notion that 500% improvement is most attainable through SCRUM seems limiting. A more open agile approach allows a team to innovate and come up with a process greater than a single SCRUM master could prescribe.
Is the slide deck up anywhere?
I wish I could receive 2 PDU credits for this video. A fantastic view of Scrum for organizational management practices.
great
nice intro! :)
If only there was a way to get Google to advise the directors for the filming of the talks to SHOW THE DAMN SLIDES LONGER! It almost seems like their prime directive was to annoy the viewer as much as humanly possible.
who are the students of Vahid Garousi?

Please provide examples of what is worth doing, lots of them.
00:24-4:40 DFTBA!
To spayced: This presentation is geared towards advanced users of SCRUM methodology, people who already know what sprint, waterfall, and team velocity mean.
You could have figured it out before watching by checking out the info section, it says clearly that "this session will be a "deep agile" presentation...". Also, the title is about "improving the team" - any team already using Agile development and SCRUM knows the terminology.
In other words: Skip to 7:58. There is absolutely nothing of value before this.
It would have been nice if he spent more time explaining some of the things he talked about it. Many people don't know what a 'sprint' is, outside of running. What do you mean by velocity? I already know what a 'waterfall' implementation is but I bet many people don't. I think there are a lot of good ideas here but if you can't explain them better, this talk is useless.
Waarom kijk ik dit
How so? Real world results trump your personal opinion... Have you actually used it anywhere?
This is good ideology in theory. Anyone having executed real project knows, it’s done by deadline, command, control, burning midnight oil and ruining health. The real life project tool is not scrum - it’s greed (of getting paid) and fear (of getting fired).
Sigh, I hope you are not managing anyone.
real life?! You have no idea what you are talking about.
I was just in Jeff's training, and his answer to your complaint was: These greedy and fearful people (among other negative people) bring the productivity down, and Scrum is the way to expose this fact to them to make them change (obviously they have to face their bad numbers if someone else can deliver a better number). And all great Scrum Masters have been fired by the boss at least once, but that shouldn't stop us from doing the Right Thing to change the culture by finding the next small thing to bring the Company in the right direction.
Very bombastic. Full of useless examples. His book better than his presentations.
Not to bash agile, but this dude is a tool - he doesn't actually seem to know anything.
I'd have to have this guy be responsible for "removing ipediments" for my team...
Oh well, I guess if he keeps trying, maybe one day his squirrel will fly!
While the content is good, I wish Jeff would stop reading from the screen and turning his back on the audience.
I like videos like this, but it seems that in every case, you have to waste huge amounts of time on completely irrelevant things. In this case we are shown that video of the guy dancing in different cities. WHO CARES????? If you have some thought to make a presentation like this available, or even if you're just doing it for a small audience, cut to the chase. Nobody can make any use of a dance video, and no one is interested in hearing more than 10 seconds of your personal history.
