What we're about
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.

Scrum Event & Mike Burrows present:
Between spaces, scopes, and scales: What the scaling frameworks don't tell you
ABSTRACT:
In a viable, deliberately adaptive organisation, how do the relationships between different organisational scales work? Or the same question, but for the networked organisation? And what does that mean for me?
Drawn from the Agendashift Academy's latest module "Adaptive Organisation: Business agility at every scale", this new talk integrates systems, complexity, and flow thinking (models such as the viable system model, the Cynefin framework, and Flight Levels) and shows how that with or without branded frameworks, many scale-related challenges reflect deep organisational imbalances that we can learn to recognise and address.
Feel free to bring your questions and your sharing spirit to this conversation.
ABOUT MIKE BURROWS :

He is recognised for his pioneering work in Lean, Agile, and Kanban and in recent years his advocacy for participatory and outcome-oriented approaches to change, transformation, and strategy.
