Wat we doen
We are an endorsed Scrum Alliance User Group primarily based and operating in London.
We are a user group of Scrum advocates who wish to promote the Agile and Scrum values within the community and beyond. Leveraging the knowledge of industry experts, our objective is to support people where we can. But only when they are ready to be Agile and potentially use Scrum.
We do what we say by living the Scrum Values:
Focus:
We focus on the presentation(s) per event (but it can be presented by multiple people). This allows the presenter(s) and audience to gain the maximum value from the event, rather than being a show case for something else.
Courage:
We organise as a team and welcome people to contribute so, they too can gain experience of volunteering for the community. We believe there is no monopoly on experience.
Openness:
We are a free, open group that tries to resolve any concerns and is as transparent as we possibly can be.
Commitment:
We are committed to the success of Agile and Scrum by supporting the community with this user group.
Respect:
We respect everyone inside the group and also outside the group. We have no desire to compete, but rather to share knowledge even if it could be seen as being at the expense of our group. We do not judge and we wish all to be respected even if others may deem they are not worthy of that respect.
For that, we will always support diversity in our community and we will start doing that by promoting female speakers for the first 12 months to show who they are and what they have to offer!
Our users are committed to these values because we believe that an Agile Mindset can enhance people’s lives, often resulting in easing communication, reducing stress and enhancing happiness. It is well known that happy people are more productive people, translating into real Value.
We want everyone to be able to experience joy from the group.
Thank you.
Attendees: This Scrum User Group is entirely free!
We aim to keep it that way. All that is required is that your turn up, enjoy the event and be respectful to other attendees.

Tom Gilb and Scrum Event presents Agile Engineering (AE): or 'Quantified Value(s) Agile’
1. Real Software Engineering, not just about coding, Not ‘CodeFlow’ like some agile methods.
2. Systems (level) Thinking: even for ‘Programs’ you need to integrate people, data, legal, hardware, cloudware and more.
3. Stakeholder Engineering: not merely ‘customer and user’: Stakeholder Stories, Stakeholder Xperience (SX not UX)
4. Simultaneous Multi-Values and Multi-Cost Requirements; as Agile Efficiency Measure, "Agility for Efficiency”.
5. Multi-Value Flow Optimization, Multi-Constraint Consideration.
6. Dynamic Design to Efficiency (Value/Cost): The Architect in the Agile Loop (IBM Cleanroom, Evo)
7. 100X Defect-Prevention from Requirements; using Spec QC + Planguage; at Intel, in practice. (Terzakis)
8. Dynamic Stepwise Priority Computation, based on Efficiency and Constraints. Using Impact Estimation Tables.
9. AI, Web 3.0, Solid, Symantic Triples, Ontology& Digitization. = Very High-Tech Agile Future: Bye Bye Yellow Stickies.
10. Scale-Free Agile methods, as proven big time, at Intel, and other places.
11. Agile Engineering on a small scale (16 Norway Developers, 4 x 4 Teams, at Confirmit, capture international market with dramatic product quality increases)
12. "Principles of Agile Engineering” : Logical Common Sense.
13. µActs: + -> Tailored Practices -> Tailored Methods: BYOM Bring Your Own Method. ‘Essence' and D.A.
14. Musk’s Methods (added to talk slides 20 Feb 2022)

Creator of 100’s of basic Principles of systems engineering (ca. 100 per book) + 10 per paper.
Gilb's Law reported by Tom DeMarco in Peopleware about page 49-50. "Qualities can always be quantified”.
Also cited by D. Hubbard.
Gilb’s Law*: "Anything you need to quantify can be measured in some way that is superior to not measuring it at all.”*
Gilb’s Law doesn't promise you that measurement will be free or even cheap, and it may not be perfect - just better than nothing.Source: Peopleware – Productive Projects and Teams, Third Edition, Tom DeMarco and Timothy Lister, Addison-Wesley
