 <title>Quadran Update</title>
 <link>http://www.vitarara.org/cms/node/141</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;We&#039;re in the final push to getting our first release of Quadran out the door. We&#039; implemented a lot of functionality over the past two weeks. The data model has grown and morphed as time has gone on. We look to have a running system up within two weeks.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As I mentioned in another &lt;a href=&quot;/cms/getting_into_scrum&quot;&gt;post&lt;/a&gt; we&#039;re starting to use Scrum to manage our software projects. The transition with Quadran has been interesting. Quadran is a fork lift replacement of an existing system that runs our client&#039;s complete operation. About the only thing that isn&#039;t in Quadran is invoicing and receivables. This makes the conversion to Scrum a little hard, because we&#039;re so close to finishing the first release. And we can&#039;t deploy the new system until it does everything else the old system does. (The old system took five man years to develop in the bad old days of EJB 1.1.)&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Getting Into Scrum</title>
 <link>http://www.vitarara.org/cms/getting_into_scrum</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;At &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.vitarara.net/&quot;&gt;Vita Rara&lt;/a&gt; we&#039;re beginning to use Scrum to manage our software projects. Our first pure Scrum project is going to be a SaaS Scrum tool. Stay tuned for more on that as we make progress. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We&#039;re currently starting to use Scrum to manage our &lt;a href=&quot;/cms/taxonomy/term/17/all&quot;&gt;Quadran&lt;/a&gt; project. We have identified a client to act as our model customer, and have explained the Scrum process to them and they have bought in.&lt;/p&gt;
