Hi Rainer

This is a great article and thanks for sharing. Like you, I took the PSM I assessment after self-study. I also wrote a blog about it which I hope other readers might find helpful:

I also believe that Scrum.org are getting it right with regard to assessments. They're not requiring that you attend a course first and whether you attend a course not, you're required to pass the assessment to get the certificate. That makes the certificate worth something.

Recently, I also wrote an article comparing CSM with PSM. Interestingly, the Scrum Alliance are now conducting assessments as well. More info here:

I hope it might prove useful reading.

Hi Rainer,

I guess the Use case, Sequence and Class diagram stencils are available for now. Can you please tell me when can the stencil for activity diagram be added?

Sorry, I miissed your comment. If still relevant to you: If you have a look at the Scrum page of this blog you'll find some recommendations for books (Mike Cohn, Roman Pichler). There are also slides and videos you can have a look at.

Danke, Rainer, für Deine aktive Unterstützung. Hier und auf Google+ und wo auch immer wir gerade diskutieren. Eine kleine Ergänzung. Prinzipiell sind wir uns beim Namen #openpm einig, aber aufgrund eventuell drohender namensrechtlicher Komplikationen haben wir das Brainstroming zum alternativen Namen angestoßen. Mittlerweile ist das Brainstorming abgeschlossen und es findet eine Stichwahl der Top-5 statt. Hier kann aber noch jeder abstimmen: http://tricider.com/brainstorm...

Thanks in anticipation.

Thanks for the explanation. Got my Flex to install inside Eclipse on Ubuntu. One thing not working is that Flex claims the trial expired already. Too bad I couldn't try it :-(

I got hints on the most questions that I didn't solve the first time. Did you get these, too? You may re-read the Scrum Guide to find the right answer. It may also helps to search for special blog posts (maybe Ken also wrote about those topics).

Hi,
I did take the exam once and Could get only 80%. Do you have pointers to some of the questions in this test? I am trying to get the incorrect questions correct in the second attempt and any help would be of highly appreciated.

Re: How to Make the ICEfaces Connection Status Always Visible

William Altuzarra Noriega — Wed, 03 Nov 2010 15:27:01 -0000

Hi Rainer!

Thanks for your answer Rainer!, very instructive!, yesterday I was talking with my friend Genner Narvaez and he told me he had also implemented a similar solution for the connectionstatus; he´s solution involves to put this in the style of a ice:panelGroup:

style="position: fixed;"

And that makes the panelgroup also to follow the web page scroll.

Thanks again for your time and explanation !

Hi William,

you may download ICEfusion and have a look at a working implementation. Please, check out the latest trunk. Here's a direct link to the Connection Status code:
http://code.google.com/p/icefusion/source/browse/trunk/src/main/webapp/icefusion/taglibs/commons/connectionStatus.xhtml

Here's how your page header should look like:

Hi Rainer!, how are you !

Rain, I am very interested in the solution you are posting. though, while performing this example with icefaces 1.8.1, I dont know why I cant make it to work.
Could you please share the code in a zip file? or maybe can I find this exact example with icefaces and a floating element available with the source code in another blog or site?

Thanks for the attention!

I added some interviews with Mike Cohn and Ken Schwaber. Interesting: Ken announces a Professional Product Owner certification for 2011. So, it will become easier to select between the ScrumAlliance and Scrum.org certification path.

Very Cool -- now to get my demo version of balsamiq with UML built in.

I've extended the Mock4U archive with a readme file for license information and put UML sequence diagram elements to it, too.

Hi Stuart,

you are allowed to use it commercially. It makes no sense to me to restrict it to private use only. But, distribution or selling is not allowed. So, please, ask your co-workers to download their copies themselves from this blog.

Re: Mock4U: Agile UML with Balsamiq Mockup

Stuart — Fri, 15 Oct 2010 18:42:01 -0000

Rainer, what is the license for Mock4U? I am interested in using it for some of my class designs here at work but need to check the license first.

Rainer Eschen — Mon, 11 Oct 2010 12:42:06 -0000

Thanks Frank, for the hint. You have a lot of Kanban stuff in your Scrum section. So, I only took the Jazoon video from Ken Schwaber to extend my "pure Scrum" list here.
