2. Tribal Scrum
• Dave Logan (January 2012)
“Make your meetings hyper-productive and fun”
“How Scrum + Tribal Leadership Will Change the World”
• What’s missing in Tribal Leadership has been a specific game that great
tribes can play against other great tribes. I believe Scrum is that game.
• First, let’s be clear that Tribal Scrum will not result from a single person
piecing it together and declaring that they have the answer.
• Second, everyone needs to get immersed in both Tribal Leadership and
Scrum.
• Third, Tribal Scrum will result from lots and lots of experiments — some
successful and some not, by combining the two approaches.
• Fourth, the community needs to determine the winning approaches here,
based on adherence to values and contribution measured by merit.
• Fifth, we should eat our own dog food. We need a venue, identification of
community values, selection of a noble cause, commitment to Scrum and
Tribal Leadership.
