As we use Scrum for all our projects we are used to planning and delivering projects in a certain way. With Scrum the planning process starts by writing down all the things we want to deliver (based on user stories) and from there creating a backlog of work. This is then estimated, prioritised and the team commit to the work (a Sprint).

For Get Creative we are chopping this down quite a bit as an experiment. We started this morning with a brief discussion about what we wanted to do and then went straight into committing to the work. We have decided to use a simple “I will be the person that” approach whereby each person says what they’ll take responsibility for and takes the work on.

This morning we agreed what we would commit to today and after lunch we caught up on what we had achieved. To make this a bit more interesting we are using childhood or very old pics to identify ourselves…
