Well, that "SCRUM dining" was a funny experience I did get there in Finland during two evening's dinners - the two teams of the same restaurant were so different in quality of their service that that fact surprised me a lot and I did write about that to Tobias and other members of the CSM course group, and Tobias decided to make his blog entry based on that my story. I didn't expect that I must say. Tobias did ask for my approval to publish this story although I expected be will edit it heavily but he left it almost as it was written here...

Have a look - a free white paper:

Agile tools: The good, the bad, the urgly.
By: Michael Dubakov and Peter Stevens

http://www.targetprocess.com/download/whitepaper/agiletools.pdf 

"Agile software development adoption spreads over the world. According to the latest surveys, about 70% of organizations adopt agile practices and stick with it. During the last 10 years, agile methods jumped from nowhere to the peak. Such rapid revolution demands new tools. There are many developers-focused tools appearing including JUnit, Eclipse, Cruise Control, etc. However, the project management community is less self-sufficient and unable to create new tools for the new methodology in their spare time. As a result, most companies are still using old-fashioned project management tools like MS Project or generic tools like spreadsheets for project planning and tracking.

This White paper addresses a dilemma that faces many Agile teams that are trying to decide on the best tools to use in their daily practices."
