Ken Schwaber was an originator of the popular Scrum framework for agile software development, along with Jeff Sutherland, and he was a signatory of 2001's Manifesto for Agile Software Development. These days, Schwaber is more interested in evidence-based management, which is intended to base decisions on current, best evidence rather than on circumstantial evidence. He will be speaking on this topic at the ALM Forum conference in Seattle this week.
InfoWorld Editor at Large Paul Krill recently talked with Schwaber about the state of agile, where mobile and Web development fits in, and Scrum and evidence-based management.
