Mike Vizdos Scrum Cartoon
During my CSM training eons ago under Ken Schwaber’s tutelage, he likened the relationship of the development team to the product owner and stakeholders as one of Pigs versus Chickens. It is based on an old joke about commitment and involvement for a pig and a chicken opening a restaurant. Hmmm. Not sure about that analogy, but okay.
Enter Mike Vizdos. Mike is a great guy and a friend as well as a revered colleague in the Scrum Trainer community associated with the Scum Alliance. Mike has taken the Pig and the Chicken Scrum analogy where it has never gone before.
In the cartoon section of his website, Mike has collected a great series of hilarious insights into the life of the Pig and the Chicken. With the aid of professional cartoonist Tony Clark, Mike leaves no topic untouched. There are no sacred cows! Oh no! another animal reference! What I meant to say is that Mike brings out the elephant in the room. Yikes! Another animal! Okay, let me put it this way: I’ve got an Australian blue heeler nipping at my heels to let the cat out of the bag and squeal like a rat about the tiger Mike has by the tail, even though this might all sound very fishy :- )
I love Mike’s wit and honesty. I invite you to enjoy Mike’s farm animals and poke around at the rest of his site as well. There may be some other interesting characters lurking….
