Thanks to Brian Hurst and Microsoft for the fantastic Ken Schwaber/Richard Hundhausen talk at the Reston, Virginia Microsoft facilities in April.
It was refreshing to see Ken Schwaber take a fundamentally different approach to "the Scrum talk". He focused on the body of software development research, and how the results of this research leads us towards certain sounds practices - which are also tenants of Scrum.
I will blog more about some of the key points I took away from the talk, but for now here are the videos & slides. Let me warn you: the sound quality on the video is poor. But for serious Scrum students I think you will find that Ken's talk is worth it:
