- People listing here often want to hear from similar people and/or similar firms. Definition of similar varies widely.
- The contact (eg, for discussion, research, etc) need not be someone in the firm. Just whoever wishes to volunteer to be a contact.
- Research. From time to time we are contacted about doing research about Scrum/Agile. Usually from a graduate student. Would you be willing to at least be contacted about this?
- Please do /not/ feel compelled to reveal private information. This is a public wiki. We can not say what might befall if you reveal your contact information here.

Firm Name: BNA Software Industry: ISV - Tax and Accounting City/State: Arlington, VA Country: USA Contact: Mark M. Baker Business Telephone: 703.341.3584 Cell Phone: 703.819.1492 Email Address: markmbaker(AT)msn.com Interests: Scrum, RIA, Flex, Java, .NET Comments about your Scrum Implementation: 1 CSM. Currently 6 projects using Scrum with a PO per project. We work in typical 4 wk sprints with the occasional 2 wk release sprint thrown in. We adapted Scrum a bit by allowing for releases during a Sprint such as patches, but we account for these during planning and they are subject to a full regression cycle by the Team. This allowed for us to react in a more timely fashion since we are dependent on Form updates by the IRS and these don't always fall on 4wk boundaries. We also have a highly distributed team and use WebEx now exclusively for our Daily Scrum's instead of a normal stand-up session. The biggest challenge we have is creating more granular and tightly written PBIs - this is an area I've been working with the PO's on for some time.
