Attend Scrum Gathering Tokyo 2011 and discover how leading businesses are adopting Scrum to stay ahead!

Although the fundament of Scrum philosophy traces back to Japan – just to mention Toyota Production System & Nonaka/Takeuchi – the Japanese software industry has just began to recognize the immense advantage which can be reached by applying Scrum focusing on iterative and incremental software development. Collaborative teams can build solutions for their customers faster and better than before. Agile organization is better placed to respond quickly to change, minimize overall risk, improve quality, and enhance project outcomes. Consequently, the number of Scrum practitioners have increased rapidly since last year.
