A pig and a chicken are walking down a road. The chicken looks at the pig and says, “Hey, why don’t we open a restaurant?” The pig looks back at the chicken and says, “Good idea, what do you want to call it?” The chicken thinks about it and says, “Why don’t we call it ‘Ham and Eggs’?” “I don’t think so,” says the pig, “I’d be committed, but you’d only be involved.”
After discussions, we seem to be heading towards adopting a formal project management tool for our JISCRI bid – which now has a name: SM@LL – more on that later!
Since the intention is that these small projects will be short term and agile but involve multidisciplinary teams (that’s that JISC wanted, that’s what JISC’s getting), the most appropriate tool seems to be SCRUM – but are there any better suggestions?
To my way of thinking, SCRUM loses its purpose if you invest too much time or money in it, so no Gareth, you won’t be going on a training course! ;-)
