Jeff Sutherland @ Scrum, Inc: A Pattern Language for Hyperproductivity Jeff Sutherland, the inventor of Scrum, is a charter member of the Scrum Patterns group. He is the author of most of these Scrum PLoP® patterns — patterns he teaches to get teams off to a good start, and to get great teams to a hyperproductive state:

• How do you get started? (Stable Teams)

• How do you successfully pull backlog items into a Sprint? (Yesterday's Weather)

• How do you get stuff done? (Swarming: One-Piece Continuous Flow)

• How do you deal with interruptions during the Sprint? (Illegitimus non Interruptus)

• How do get defect free at the end of the Sprint? (Daily Clean Code)

  • How do you deal with surprises? (Emergency Procedure)

• How do you ensure you continuously improve? (Scrumming the Scrum)

• How do you get teams to have fun? (Happiness Metric)

• How do you get hyperproductive? (Teams that finish early accelerate faster)

Jeff presented these at Agile 2013.
