Background Intergraph is a large software development company focused on developing complex products aimed at professionals. It is made up of two distinct organizations, Intergraph Process, Power & Marine (PP&M) and Intergraph Security, Government & Infrastructure (SG&I).

Background Intergraph PP&M moved their development operation to Scrum starting in December This effort culminated in the formation of 75 Scrum Teams and our ability to say that everyone who should be on a Scrum team is on a Scrum team. The author was responsible for the rollout of Scrum in the PP&M division. In 2011 the author moved to the Intergraph SG&I division to take them through the process of change.

Not supplying better templates to produce the information required. This led to confusion when teams wanted to do release reports since they virtually had to learn how to do it themselves.
