Use Scrum + Continuous Delivery to build the right thing

Figure: How and how often do you get feedback?  flickr
The two topics “Scrum” and “Continuous Delivery” kept me very excited in the last years, which resulted in two presentations and a whitepaper for scrum.org.
Answer the following questions:

• How often do your endusers use your product?
• How often do you release your product to your end users?
• Do you release in sync with your Sprint length, after the Sprint Review?
• Is the Sprint Review meeting the only valid release point?

In the whitepaper (link at the bottom) I talk about how the cadence of Scrum and Continuous Delivery can help you build the right thing, and when implemented properly, release it on time to ultimately deliver superior value to your customers. Wow… That is a lot!
 

Two pictures out of the whitepaper, to make it a little bit more tasty to read
