Anyone else do scrum? I'm in a sprint planning meeting and the goal today is to just pick stories and NOT design. We have a couple of people who like to do design all the time.

Congratulations, and thanks, to all high point posters. This place would not be the same without all of you.

Edit: Looks like this post was # 19001 in the Thread. We're now less than 1000 posts away from that 20000 target.

Doh! Just realized I didn't start the newsletter yesterday. That's what comes from being highly unwired and busy on the weekend.
