With only 90 days to go, we had 60 people descending upon us to celebrate the Fourth of July long weekend and our daughter’s Sweet Sixteen party.

Though we’d bought it almost 3 years before, the house had seen better days. The previous owners aged out of it, replacing small things on their own and large things piecemeal (all the while believing they could put any adjective in front of “engineer” and suddenly they were experts [e.g., computer engineer, electrical engineer, etc.])

Between replacing heaving HVAC units and sweating heaters (all in duplicates,) living out in the boondocks where no real contractor wanted to come, making it through two ice storms and an unhappy septic tank, we were freaking out.

We had a deadline, limited funds, and a lot of work to do. So, I pulled out my Agile Super ScrumMaster uniform and sat my family down. Within a few hours and using the tenets of Agile/Scrum, I walked them through the basics, we self-organized, and off we went.

Come learn about what we went through and how we learned we could apply Agile on a regular basis almost anywhere.

Agile…it’s not just for breakfast anymore!
